4 MORE DAYS

Only 4 more days until you leave for approximately 194 days. In case you're wondering we've know each other for only 53 days. I'm not really so ridiculous that I'm counting days. However, I did just calculate it out on a calender because I was a little interested. Five months and 2 weeks is a really long time. Let me tell you some of the reasons I will miss you over that time.

1. Who is going to leave me surprise notes on my car, behind my bookshelf, hidden in random books, and in my unmentionables draw?

2. Who else is going to enjoy grass-staining their clothes, cutting their toes, figuring out knots, and taking painful falls and slaps all in the name of walking on a line between two trees?

3. Who else will I trust enough that before I a realize I've said it I'm sharing all the things I've never told anyone else before?

4. Who am I going to eat out with at least 3 times a week with and explore the various eating establishments along the Wasatch Front with? I guess I'll just have to save money and calories by going to Albertson's and making my own food.

5. Who am I going to take trips with to Southern Utah that would be so worth a $75 camping fine?

6. Who is going to give me under-doggies on the swings and then sit out in the cold and just talk for a while with such good conversation that I don't even realize that it is so cold?

7. Who am I going to go to REI with?

8. Who will make me laugh at ridiculous jokes about pinions?

9. Who is going to say and do little things that make me feel really good about myself? Everyone needs that every now and again. Hopefully I do the same for you.

10. Who will I spend all my time with and actually want to spend the time I'm not with them being with them. No, I'm not creepy. I just really like doing things with you.
