Great Week

This week darling was home for spring break. He just left yesterday. I got to see him every single day. It was awesome. The first day he was home I went over to his parents' house to see him so he could spend time with them too. The second day he came over to see me at my house. We pretty much don't get any time alone when we're with his family. When we're at my house, nobody else lives here so we've got total privacy. I think that's about the only reason I like living here alone. For every other reason I can think of, it totally sucks.

I was so desperate to get some time alone with him. Five weeks separated is too long. I needed some time to just cuddle naked in bed with him. That's how we bond. If you've ever heard of the "five love languages" we definitely both need touch to feel loved. I think sometimes I need it more than he does, or perhaps I just give it more readily than he does so he never has to do without when I'm around.

That whole night we cuddled in my bed and most of the time we were naked. I think we were in bed at 6 or 7 in the evening and stayed there until just before 10 when he left to go back to his family so I could sleep. My job gets me out of bed at 6:30 every day. We did eventually have sex, but honestly it was pretty seamlessly integrated with the rest of the snuggling and I don't have a vivid memory of it. I just needed to be in his arms and relaxing. I was just so relieved once I got that. I think he was too.

...More about the week to follow in another post. It's nearly bed time for me.
