My boyfriend arrived at the end of January. Things have been great! I just haven't had the time to post anything...
We went out for Valentine's Day dinner. I paid for us to eat at "LongHorn SteakHouse". We had to wait a little over an hour to be seated. Which was to be expected, since it was Valentine's Day and all. The restaurant was PACKED. It was my first time spending Valentine's Day with anyone. And it was wonderful. I couldn't even begin to describe how happy I was.
We went to "LongHorn SteakHouse", for Valentine's Day.
His Dinner: 6 oz. Sirloin Steak, Half-Rack of Baby Back Ribs, and Mashed Potatoes.
My Dinner: 11 oz. Sirloin Steak, Half-Rack of Baby Back Ribs, and Mashed Potatoes.
My LoveBug told me that he always wanted to get his ears pierced, but never got around to it. He said he was always scared that it was going to hurt. The next morning, we went to Wal*Mart. And, as most people know, they can pierce your ears at the jewelry counter. I asked him if he wanted them pierced or not. It was like PULLING TEETH to get him to commit to it.
Unfortunately, they didn't have the 7mm SQUARE Cubic Zirconia studs. So he had to settle for the 7mm ROUND Cubic Zirconia studs. I held his hand the entire time, though. And he handled the ear piercing VERY WELL. He didn't even squeeze my hand or anything. He said it didn't hurt, but the stinging sensation was terrible. Which is true. They do sting for about 30-minutes.
And when we got back home, I ordered him a pair of 7mm SQUARE Cubic Zirconia studs. So as soon as his earrings can be changed, he can wear them.

He looks so cute.
My LoveBug always felt bad that he couldn't take me out on any dates. While he was here, I helped him sell his laptop. And he used the money to take me out to dinner. I picked Cheddar's, since they're cheap AND have good food. He had never been to Cheddar's before. He really enjoyed it.

A couple of nights ago, we went to SafeWay. While we were there, my LoveBug INSISTED on buying me an Orchid. Why? Because Orchids are my favorite flowers. And he wanted to buy my favorite flower for me.

Orchid!
Be Still, My Heart...
My Life...
While my LoveBug has been here, we've also been on a couple of "Date Nights" to the cinema. We went to see "Game Night", which was funny. And we went to see "The Strangers 2: Prey At Night", which was AMAZING. And then my parents took us to see "Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built", which was okay.
Other than that, my LoveBug has been playing "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen" A LOT. He really likes that game. He's beaten it MULTIPLE times. And he wants to beat it AGAIN. But this time, he wants to do ALL of the Side Quests. Apart from REALLY BAD camera angles (During boss fights), the game is pretty good. It's not MY type of game, but I love watching him play it.
My "Devil May Cry HD Collection" was released, today. I'm so stoked for it! It's paid off. I just need to pick it up.
The remastered "Secret of Mana" game was RIDICULOUS. In the best way possible, of course.
I also want to pre-order the new "God of War" game. I loved the original ones, but this one looks NOTHING like those. Everyone keeps comparing it to "Horizon: Zero Dawn". Which is fine, since my LoveBug LOVED that game. So I'm going to get it for HIM to play.
However, there has been some TERRIBLE news...
The night my LoveBug and I went to "SafeWay", everything seemed great. We got back home, he ordered a new promise ring for me that was round instead of square (The square one was only temporary until he could find me a round one.), we cuddled, we kissed, we were watching "A Series of Unfortunate Events" on Netflix... Everything was fantastic...
...Until his mother called him, bawling her eyes out, and told him that his Great Uncle had passed away. Everyone was at the hospital and she was at home. My LoveBug didn't want to hear it. He kept calling his grandfather, but he never answered the phone. A few minutes later, his grandfather called him back. He confirmed that it was true. He had a heart attack, a little while back. And he had a "pacemaker". He recently got the flu, and his immune system just couldn't handle it. He passed away. He was in his early 70's, though, so his grandfather didn't seem too surprised by it. He wasn't crying or anything. He seemed fine. My LoveBug seemed fine, too. He was shocked, but he seemed to handle it well.
Last night, we stopped at Winn-Dixie. While we were there, my LoveBug was looking at "Sympathy" cards. One for his Aunt Bee, one for his Cousin Devon, and one for his Grandparents. While he was looking at the cards, I could see every ounce of happiness leave his face. I could tell that it was finally hitting him, even if he didn't want to show it. After he picked out the cards, we SLOWLY walked away. I looked up at him and saw this blank expression, along with a very red face. And I KNEW what was about to happen. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and he cried into the crease of my neck. When he pulled away, he lifted his shirt up to wipe away his tears. It only lasted for a few seconds, but seeing the man I love break down in public was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen.
We checked out of Winn-Dixie and headed over to the post office. While we were inside, he filled out the cards. He sent out the three sympathy cards, along with the wedding card for his Cousin Alicia. The cards were all inside of a bubble envelope, addressed to his grandparents, so they could give the cards to everyone.
Then everything seemed fine again. As if nothing even happened. Maybe he just wanted to forget about what had happened...
We stopped at a gas station. I gave a man $2 for a bus fare ticket back to his father's house. Then we stopped at Taco Bell for dinner. We came back home, ate our dinner, watched "Bob's Burgers", took a shower, washed our faces, put lotion on our faces, made love, and then I watched my LoveBug play some more "Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen". We cuddled, we kissed, and we made the best out of a bad situation.
I'm so sorry about your Great Uncle passing away, LoveBug...
