Because Every Moment Is Worth It

Work is wearing me out! I'm ok most of the day but by the time 8 or 9 rolls around I am rubbing my eyes and struggling to keep them open. If I let myself rest my head against the couch and allow my eyes to slip shut I'd be asleep before my fingers could finish typing these words.

So why am I not already in bed? Well, it's simple: Branden. If I went to bed, he'd be just fine with it. He wouldn't pout or be frustrated... He'd understand. But I would be sad. If I went to bed knowing it'd be a few hours before he came to join me I would probably end up crying myself to sleep. I know it's kinda pathetic but after weeks of being together almost 24/7 I even get a twinge of sadness when I leave for work in the morning. It's just that I want to be around him almost all the time and even being apart for work makes me miss him just a little. Yeah, I know, pathetic.

I don't need to be sitting right next to him all the time, I don't need him to hold my hand every time we leave the house- though I love it when he does- and I don't need his undivided attention. I just want to be where he is. And so I force myself to stay awake so I can spend all the time I can with him.

nope.. not pathetic at all!! that's exactly how I feel about Mer-Bear ;) (shh.. don't tell him I told you that!) I want to spend every second available with him.
I know we have it good, that we are doing something right, when we both have butterflies when it's time for him to come home.. too bad Peyton beats me to the door now!
