Post St. George devopements

Ashley and I have been virtually inseparable. Can I express that I have never experienced a more reciprocal relationship. And I am so grateful. Ashley loves to be with me - and I love to be with her. I had kinda started to believe that that was never going to happen, and that no matter who you are, people will eventually ask you to leave them alone (here's some of my deeply personal fears coming out). But I guess love doesn't have to be that way. Ashley and I spent over 70 hrs. together the week of finals (we had reading days with no class) just studying and being together - it was cool because I had wondered what would happen if we suddenly had no demands on our time together, and apparently THAT is what happens. 70 hours of hanging out!
Our friendship has become SO cool and so close. We are also very independent people and spend plenty of time apart . . . wow this is all so new to me.
Ashley will be in Florida for 6 weeks, getting and recovering from bunion surgery. I took Ashley to the airport the other day . . . well first we had to go to the cracker barrel to find her wallet that she had left there the night before (that is certainly one way I would not want to rub off on her). Then we raced up to the air port and said - I love you see you in a month. Wow that was hard. I will be visiting her in a month out in Florida and I am out of my mind excited about that! We have been having the most delightful telephone relationship in the meantime! We talk everyday for a few hours and it has been wonderful to get to know Ashley in this very special way, when words is all we have to communicate. Normally we leave a lot up to our bodies and faces, but I have loved getting to know her in this way. I have loved staying up late expiriencing deep conversation and honest sharing. Sometimes she reads me her journal entires, in fact, that has become one of my fav past times for this period of our relationship. It has been so enjoyable to go back and see what she was feeling, when. In fact that is the inpiration for me writing this blog/journal. The information she had recorded was so valuable and it made me really want to start making a better record, so I am now. I plan to make this part of my daily rouitine, so hopefully entires will start to be a little smaller?
