Going Back

I'm in Iowa right now. Why? Well, since I'm enrolled in a few distance courses right now I occasionally need to get tests proctored. While E and I were living in Cincinnati I was able take them at the local library, however, after we moved I went to the Lexington public library and was told that they did not offer the service. What to do? Being the impractical person that I am, I decided to turn it into a month long trip to Iowa. Rest assured, there is some method to my madness. The school I attend is here, so I'm able to get my tests proctored at the university instead of arranging them at a random library. I'm also hoping to get the final wedding plans worked out during the next month, as well as spend time with my family and friends.

E and I drove out here last Tuesday, and got into my home town around 6. E then proceeded to take off right away to meet his friends in his hometown for slice night at their favorite pizza place while I spent some time with my family. He drove back the next day to see me before he headed back to Lexington and we spent some "quality" time together. At some point he asked how I felt about staying here for an entire month without him. To be honest, it hasn't been too bad yet. We've been able to talk quite a bit since we both have decent wireless plans. The worst part has been not being able to have sex.

The fact that I miss sex more than I'm missing the intellectual company of my fiance may seem rather callous, or vulgar to some. What you have to understand is, before I met E I hadn't found anyone I could even entertain the idea of having sex with, resulting in me remaining a virgin until the age of twenty. While I wouldn't say it's weird to be a virgin at twenty, it certainly seems uncommon to be an unintentional virgin (especially if you're a woman) at that age. *FYI an unintentional virgin is someone who has made no formal commitment to remaining a virgin, yet their virginity remains intact* Now that I do have sex, it's almost like I'm making up for lost time, and I certainly don't want to go a month without it! For the record though, if forced to choose between personality and sex I would choose personality (but it'd be a hard choice).

Other than lusting after a fiance I can't have, I've been keeping busy. Friday night I made (more like watched the making of) homemade macaroni with Heidi and Britt. I also got to see Britt's daughter, who's almost two now! Then on Saturday night Heidi and I hung out with Mike, his (pregnant!) wife Amber, and some other friends for awhile. Also, I'm planning a trip with my mom and E's mom to see our wedding venue. We're going to get a feel for the space so we'll be able to buy whatever decorations we still need while I'm here in town. This is going to be a busy month...
