Hey peeps! It has been awhile. I have been busy...(slacking off I suppose) Devin was in town for a few weeks and I while he was here, I could not motivate myself to post on here. I guess because when he is here I want to spend as much time with him as possible. It is no fun having an army man for a boyfriend. They always have to leave. 528 days away from him being home for good, but who is counting? *sigh* I will be able to see him again in May.
Whenever he is home, we make sure we eat at Panera Bread at least once. That is where we had our first date. (Though we did not realize it was a date until months later) Don't ask. We have kind of a backwards relationship....(He is the one that remembers the exact date of the first date and he remembers the anniversary...I think it is October 1st?)
It is a place that whenever I see it, I cannot help but smile. And, it feels weird eating there without him. It is our place. To eat without him just does not feel complete. I almost feel like I am cheating even though I know I am not.
There are so many places that have memories that I will not be able to erase.
My first house. My old sandboxw here I would be grounded to when I was younger. Then again grounding was not a punishment for me then. I found ways to make being grounded fun. I would sing to myself. It was not until I got older and they would ground me from the computer that it sucked. I mean I went years...YEARS without having the Internet. So why was being grounded from it the worse thing ever? It was my only source of a social life after 9pm. It was how I communicated with my friends. It was before everyone had call phones. Yes, there was such a time. You know those things called house phones? Everyone used to have one of those. Now they are overrated. Who has landlines now? Oh yeah, businesses.
My church has fond memories. My old high school. Hell, even my ex-boyfriend's apartments. Granted, he was not the best of men (everyone knows that but that is for another day), I made LOTS and LOTS of good memories there. He was my first love after all.
Hardee's. Ah Hardee's. 5 years of memories between two locations. I made friends there. Friends that I miss. Friends that I am planning on going to visit again someday.
Starbucks. JD's. In front of Bryan's house just talking until 2am. I really miss those late night talks. Those were the best! No matter how life goes on, memories always remain. Some good. Some bad. The bad are harder to forget but make you that much stronger.
