Tyson came out last Tuesday and stayed until Sunday night. We had an absolute amazing time and I was super excited for him to come out and visit me. I know we had a rough couple weeks prior to him coming out and a part of me was wary and nervous but all in all, it ended up being a really good trip for the two of us.
He got in late Tuesday night since he had to work a full day as he was taking so much time off. That was fine I guess, he didn’t get to my place til almost 11 so I was tired since I had a really long week already but it wasn’t bad. I made him banana bread and it turned out super so that made me happy too. Yeah, work sucked that Monday and Tuesday; we had a conference and David and I were running around taking notes, making up packets, going to dinners, and being everyone’s right hand man so I was exhausted by the time Tyson came and really, all I wanted to do was sleep. Plus the weather was horrible all last week; it rained almost every night.
Wednesday we had breakfast together before I left for work. It was kinda nice but really, I hate eating that early so the whole day I felt full and bloated and wanted to nap. Tyson was going to have lunch with Fran so I didn’t feel so bad about working a full day. We went to Frightened Rabbit at the Bluebird that night and it was so much fun! They are absolutely amazing live and it was such a good time! We met up with Heather so it was nice that he got to meet another one of my friends from the days of yore.
Before the concert, we went and had dinner and we talked a little bit about the future and what we ultimately want out of this relationship. I had tried to talk about it before he came out, but he didn’t really want to touch on that subject because he thought that we would just end up fighting or arguing about it. I think at this point, we’re both ok with the distance. Yeah, it really sucks that we can only see each other once a month for 5 days but somehow we make it work. We talk daily for hours so that helps I guess. It’s just at some point, I’m going to want more than this and so will he. So we talked about our options and what we’re willing to do.
He never fully asked, I think he was afraid of my answer but I told him that if his company won’t send him out as a full time employee in Denver by the time my lease expires; I’d consider moving to Boise. Of course, he could get contracted out to Denver or wherever for months at a time and if that happens or seems more likely than what’s going on now, I’ll just stay here and we can see each other for months at a time rather than once a month. I think after I told him that I was willing to move for him, he breathed a sigh of relief and was just…happier. And I think I would do that for him; besides friends, I don’t have a lot here to tie me down.
So yeah, Frightened Rabbit was amazing. Still have bruises on my knees from climbing up on stage but its all good. We all went out for drinks afterwards since I was going into work late on Thursday so who cares if I got rip-roaring drunk as long as I didn’t die in my sleep. Poor Tyson was jonesin’ for a cigarette but I’m glad he kept his shit together cuz if he smoked in front of me, I would have made him sleep outside in the hallway.
Thursday we didn’t do much; went out to dinner and he went to hang out with his friends all night and into Friday so it was just nice to have my own space, pick up my place, and just watch TV without feeling guilty about it. It was sweet though, he kept texting me and letting me know he was thinking of me.
It was just…wonderful. We went to Boulder on Saturday and I got to show him around and the weather was actually decent that day. I got to show him around campus and Pearl Street and my favorite spot in Boulder. It was great to be able to share that with someone I really care about because it has been so long since I even cared about someone enough to show them the places with the most meaning to me.
We just left feeling really great and optimistic and hopeful about our future together. Yeah, we really don’t know when his company will send him out, if they send him out. And yeah, we’re not going to see each other during the month of June because I’m traveling for work every other week but it’s ok; sure it sucks ass but I think we’re both finally on the same page, both finally feeling reassured and good about us, and finally able to relax knowing how we both feel about each other. I can’t wait to see him in July and I really hope that this lasts.
