My Priorities

Okay, so I know I have been away. Believe me though it’s not because I wanted to. It’s always something. First a concussion, then midterm exams, then we had to move, and now my computer is broken. I am using a friend’s right now. But anyway I will get to all that in good time. First let’s pick up where I left off. Preparing for our first anniversary...

So for our anniversary we had big plans. We were planning to go to New York City. I have been there once before, and I love it there. I was really excited. I had planned the trip for weeks. Booking the hotel, and planning everything we were going to do. I took off work and made sure all my schoolwork was done so that we wouldn’t have anything to worry about while we were gone.

He had to work on Friday and he gets home at around 6pm. So the plan was for him to come home and we sleep until about midnight and then we get up and drive and we would be there by morning (we live about 6 hours away from NYC). Then we were going to drive back Sunday night. 

Well, Friday came and I got up early. I packed everything we needed. Doubled checked the hotel reservations. Made sure we had the maps, and checked the times on everything I planned to see. At 6pm everything was ready to go. I was just waiting for him to come home so we could sleep before we left. Well 6pm came and went. At 6:30 I called him and asked where he was.

P.C. says his friend from work asked him if he would change the oil in his car. So he was at his friend’s house changing the oil. I wanted to ask -- couldn’t this just wait until Monday? But I didn’t want to start the weekend with an argument so I just said, “Well just don’t take too long because you are going to need time to sleep.”
