Almsot FIVE years ago - I had a really bad cold. I remember that one. It was still just a little chilly outside (it was April). The sun was setting a little later and my R.A. (resident advisor for the dorm I lived in) wanted to go rollerblading. I declined. I was SICK! She, however, was one persistent girl (especially when sports were involved). I finally fell for her, "it'll make you feel better," speech. Dustin, on AIM, said "Don't go. You need to rest."
Did I listen? No. I never listen. I DO WHAT I WANT! So I went ... and for awhile - I did feel really good! The fresh air and exercise seemed to really help ... that was UNTIL I stopped. Then I got suddenly worse. I guess rest would have been best. But did Dustin just say, "told ya so!" No he did not...
He came to LAR ("Lincoln Avenue Residence" hall) in the SAAB with the promise of hot, chicken noodle soup and the new Harry Potter movie (I believe it was the 2nd one!). I didn't have to get too pretty (he knew I was sick), but I did clean up a little. He called and I came downstairs (about 20 minutes later). When I got in the car - I noticed a bag from Shnuck's... he had went and bought me a can of chicken noodle soup. It was the good kind too - not just condensed! Even though he didn't have soup, when he found out I was sick - he took care of me. We had been together MAYBE 1 week (by together, I mean "exclusive!"). I felt so special ...
We went back - he heated the soup up - we turned on the movie - we cuddled. It was the greatest cold ever.
If I only had him now ... ;)
I really look forward to Memphis when I think of those little moments from the old days - back before he lived SIX HOURS AWAY!!! (But soon he'll be a room away - and I can't wait!)
A couple of pictures from the "old" days! :
I can't wait to add more Memphis pictures of us TOGETHER!
