So some of you reading this know that all last week I was totally bummed cause I had just got back from my vaca to MD to see Eric play with his band....and I thought it was going to be like a month before I could see him again. And well honestly he didnt seem as bummed about that as I did. So that alarmed me. Either A: he is over me already... or B: he is comming out this weekend for Valentines day.

All week- I tried to trick him into giving up the secret....and he never did. In fact all the things he said left me with just enough hope not to cry...but yet confirmed NOTHING...

So Last night: Friday- I give up. Cause he has been texting me all day and clearly if he was getting on a plane ther would have been about 2 hours of radio silence, and that never happened. He had texted me religiously ever half hour or so. I get home from haveing a few post show beers with Brad, and I am totally BUMMED OUT!!

I call him for our usual late night conversation, and we chit chat about his day. And he says you REALLY need to take your computer down to the lobby and check your email. I sent you a card...so I do. And there was nothing in my inbox...so I call him again. "LIAR!!" I exclaim. "Oh really?" he says. "Maybe its in the atrium. Go Look" So I do...

And in the Atrium of my apartment building was Eric, and a bunch of flowers!! He DROVE 11 hours to get here...11 hours. For me. Seriously? Seriously!!

Thats why he gets the best boyfriend EVER award!! Totally.

So On Monday, because one good turn deserves another, we were able to work it out so I could drive back to MD with him, and Fly back to Chi-town on Wed to be back at work at 1pm. It was a GREAT 12 hour road trip through 5 states. It was a beautiful dy, and it was cool to be back in MD after just leaving the week before.

Tuesday I hung out with Weedon and Halin most of the day, (his children) and Wed I flew back. Thats what I call a whirl wind weekend!
