Nights

Ahh, its nights like these I appreciate. Well, more like weekends like this one. Its these nights, weekends like this one that really make me appreciate what I have. It makes me so sure that I've made right decisions in the past.

Last night Cody and I went out and saw The Collector and got scared out of our skin. (I recommend it, absolutely.) It was such a perfect date night, we even got to cuddle afterward since we saw the early show. It was my understanding, well, it was my suggestion that we do that Friday, since he had work early this morning. That way he could enjoy a fun Saturday night out at the club without feeling like he didn't make any time with me. Perfect plan, I thought.

But tonight, during my wonderful day out shopping with the family, my received texts indicated otherwise. Tonight ended up being cuddling during the thunderstorm watching movie after movie. Perfection<3. Not to my surprise, Cody did sleep for a significant portion of the evening. And in his defense, he'll try to stay semi-conscious while he's sleeping, sneaking in little kisses and compliments. Hehe.

Nights like these put a permanent smile on my face. Weekends like this one really make me appreciate how things happened. When you think about it, the slightest change in events would have changed everything.

If I had stayed one more summer night, if I hadn't showed up at a random college one random night, if I hadn't been so stupid last fall, if Cody wasn't so forgiving, oh the list goes on. And the latest addition, if consideration didn't mater so much.

I digress... I started this post with every intention of reminiscing of how I'm so happy about the decisions I made, but as I wrote, I told myself. It wasn't always my decision. I'm grateful for the decisions others made that led me here. Not even referring to only my relationship, but to so many of the things with which I've been blessed. If I had gotten a difference Hall Direction in my Student Staff interview, I wouldn't have been approached with my dream CA position, things like that. I think that I've realized that it isn't always in your hands. Its the way everyone's decisions fall together. Oh my Lord, 11:14. And it comes full circle.
