Florida

How terrible am I to still not have updated about Florida. Let's just say it was wonderful and I didn't want to leave, as always.

I did actually type out an entry but being the idiot I am, i did it in AOL and we all know what happens when you do that, we get booted off and away goes our entry.

Let's see, its about two weeks since I got back. Its getting slowly easier and I'm trying to make the most of being back home and getting on with things. But we all know where I'd much rather be!

When I arrived at the airport, believe it or not I was nervous about seeing him. Still after so many times. I always worry that he's not gonna like me anymore, which I know is silly but I think it. I worry i'll trip and make an idiot of myself. But I was also really excited, I was racing round the corners trying to make it to the exit so I could find him.

And there he was standing against the wall holding a bunch of flowers! I think my heart just about melted there and then and in true hollywood movie fashion, he lifted me up and span me around. And then suddenly I didn't feel so nervous.

We didn't really have too much time together since I was there for just under two weeks, but we had a great time. We went out to eat, went to the zoo, visited his family. It was nice. And I love hanging out with his mom. Both his neighbours have new puppys, so adorable and cute and they'd follow me as i'd walk around the yard, wanting me to play with them.

The time as always went by too fast and truly, I didn't get homesick once. Usually, if i'm staying for longer i'll get a little homesick once a month. But this time I wanted to stay forever, contemplated burning my passport so I could. But I knew I couldn't.

On my last day there Adam and I went by the store to say goodbye to two of his friends who work there. I thought, heck I need to waste these dollars I have left, so I bought two scratch cards, I won $16. Which went towards lunch and two bags of peanut M&Ms. Believe it or not, but peanut M&Ms taste much better in America than they do over here. Don't know what you guys are putting in them or what we're not, but there is a taste difference!

A few days before I left I went to walmart to get some gifts to take home. I love walmart, there's just so much choice. You guys have way more products than we do and its not fair!

Poor Adam had just got home from work and i'm certain he was tired, but he was a trooper and took me shopping. Of course, in true Adamus style he hated walking around the aisles. Esp the same aisle more than once, but i'm female and love to shop. And I did give him the option of sitting somewhere and i'd come find him later. But then what kind of bf/bodyguard would he be if he did that!

He's actually very good to me. On like my second day out there I got a throat infection, I think it was just because I was so run down. I hadn't had much sleep before I went to see him and late nights & early mornings tend to make me sick. My bodys way of saying I need to rest. But he's so good to me, he took care of me, made me drink plenty of ginger for my throat and before I knew it I was back to normal.

I guess, I'm gonna go. I'll add and entry after this one of just pictures. And i'll hopefully update again soon. I went out last night. Let's just say once we left the second club my boots came off because I couldn't walk anymore! But we had a blast and I didn't actually get in until about half 3 in the morning. But such a good night.

Happy St. Paddys Day to anyone who's IRISH!

Happy Birthday to Shadi!
