Dave came up to see me at the end of week three. It was wonderful. The wonderful-est part was how totally normal it felt. We walked around Walmart looking for something for school, we swam in the hotel pool, we ate Chinese buffet...just like home, only 15 degrees hotter!
It was a little difficult to balance my school responsibilities and my desire to spend time with Dave. I had someone taking care of the dogs in the morning, but I still stopped by campus twice a day for quick training sessions, just so my charges wouldn't forget who I was or what heel meant.
I brought him to campus once or twice, showed off what my dogs could do, introduced him to my roommates, and gave him the grand dusty tour. It was fun, and he acted appropriately impressed with the whole thing.
I dropped him off at the airport at some ungodly hour on Monday morning, came home and crashed out for half an hour, and spent the rest of the day a bit melancholy. Lucky for me it gets so busy so quickly around here that it's difficult to hang on to a mood for more than a day. You just get so distracted that you can't help but forget why you are so bummed out...unfortunately it means the really happy moods are also short-lived, but that's how life works, I guess!
