I hope that Ben and I can take overnight trips more often. We just returned from a crazy trip to Shreveport, Louisiana for Ben's work to attend the grand opening of his project down there. He got me a ticket to fly down there with him at the last minute (I am not sure how he talked his boss into paying for me, but I think it was pretty expensive!) He went down to Sci-Port earlier last week to fix some problems they were having, so I flew down alone. I know I should be grateful I got to go; it is just hard for me sometimes to be away from the man I love. It is hard because I feel like if I am good enough he will want to be with me. I want to give him the best of me, including lots of love, my time and attention and kindness, and yet sometimes I feel like that still isn't enough. (I feel like the more he is gone, the more desperate I am, crazy I know.) He and his two co-workers picked me up at the airport. Ben, Jeri, Amy and I went to lunch at Joe's Crab shack and then to change for the opening. It was very fancy with all the rich donors there along with people I have never met before. Ben stayed until it was over at 10:45 and then we drove back to the hotel room and went hot tubing at 11 p.m. We dried off in the sheets and got up at 6 to fly home.
