Home. I rushed through the door today after countless hours of studying and a quick detour to the Old Navy (because a girl needs cheap pants that won't last very long, right?) with one thought in mind. COFFEE. Any other day I would have stopped by Starbucks and gladly sipped on their several sugar laden, bad for the world coffee but today was special. Yesterday C priority mailed Octane coffee for me from Atlanta. The irony of him being there for a month after I moved to Texas is NOT lost on me.
Shit.
As I'm on the phone with C, I literally blurt it out. I forgot to stop by H.E.B. Which is another Texas thing. Georgia, well, Atlanta is full of Public, Fresh Market, Whole Food and even a brand spankin' new Sprout but no H.E.B. So I had to rush outside in weather that freezes my nose and turns by mitten-less hands bright red to buy some milk. Let me tell you, it was so worth it. I haven't drank coffee that velvety and delicious since I came to Texas a couple of months ago. There are so many things about Texas that take my breath away. Especially C!
I am constantly in awe of his patience with me. I pride myself in a lot of qualities, patience being at the lowest (both literally and figuratively.) He may have many qualities that need improving, honestly I can't think of even on, but he is so patient with me. He tries to understand, and hides dark chocolate in the house, brings me flowers every week, religiously follows through with date nights and loves my family so well! So since he's been gone I've had to be patient especially with myself. After long hard days.
So here's to hoping that this week flies by and I get to be home with my fiancee, girlfriends and most importantly my crazy fun family! And learning patience each day. ;)
