Birthday Week Continued

Well, the birthday week celebrations have slowed down a little bit, but not significantly, with the advent of finals.
Wednesday night The boy came over and we finished Jumanji and we interdigitated some more. (Like you really want to hear about that...) It was nice and chill and good, and less weird, which is also weird.
Thursday was a pretty epic day. I spent a few hours at the library studying, then went home and took a nap, and then was on my way back... but I got side tracked... and got invited to a bonfire that the boy's friends were having (it's a very complicated, small, small world here in Provo), and the guy who invited me said "do you want me to get my brother to invite the boy?" at which point I said "pshaw, I'm a big girl, I can do it myself." So I did. the text went something like "hey, some of your friends, paul and steven, are having a bonfire up the canyon, do you want to go?" He did. So we did, The bonfire was good, but a little freaky as one of the other elders from the mission was there, and there was a moment when he looked at me and he looked at the boy and then he looked at our hands and got a very confused look on his face. Priceless! But... well, good. The bonfire wrapped up around midnight and we headed back to provo and took advantage of Harold's openness (the library's open till 2am and both of us needed to study). So we went to the library and sat and shared headphones and held hands and studied (I did left handed study). We were one of those couples that I would usually make gagging noises about. Then he drove me home, walked me to my door and said goodnight. He almost left me without a hug, but I think we were both really tired, and.... well, that's a story for another time... needless to say, he left me with things to think about. So I did... and I spent many hours not sleeping and consulting my Magic 8 ball desktop application.
Friday we spent several, several hours together at the library again, I left for a while and took my first final, and it was nice, just comfortable feeling I always feel comfortable to be myself around him. I spent Friday night not sleeping either... which is lame. Luckily there's a beautiful thing called Tylenol PM and Prayer. See, If I can give it to Heavenly Father, I don't have to worry about it anymore.
Today! Well, I studied all morning and the boy and I decided to go finish the hike we and Malia started last month-ish. It was harder than I remembered it being... but after I relaxed my body my asthma calmed down (I was a little wound tight from finals/drama/moving/everything else. So we hiked and talked and made it up to the saddle of Squaw Peak to watch the sunset (which was gorgeous and I should add a picture on here). We still didn't make it to the top, grrrrr, one of these days! Also for all you who are speculating about what did or did not happen on Squaw Peak, stop it! We held hands and watched the sunset. Then we came home and I exhibited my domestic prowess and made tuna cakes, because I was starving, and i figured after a 4 1/2 hour hike he was too. Also, tuna cakes are fast and easy and i didn't sit down before they were done because after we were done eating we pretty much crashed on the couch. We did dishes, and then he sat at the table and I went straight for the couch, I wanted a soft seat. Then I gave him options of what to do it was like 10:30, so we could have maybe watched a shortish movie, or played a game, or interdigitated. He chose to interdigitate. There might have been some intent to do something else at some point in time, but that was quickly forgotten as the tiredness set in. So we sat and talked and held hands and cuddled (which was new) and it was nice. Very nice. Time just flies when we're together, he learned that I was ticklish, and I learned that he is sometimes. And we talked and I'm going to write him letters this summer while he's at boy scout camp (he's going to be a river guide).
Despite how freaked out I've been about how fast this is going (this is a completely new thing for me. I was content to be patient), when I'm with him, I feel calm. He and I were talking and at one point he said "You make me want to be a better person" to which I replied "I feel the same way, but about you." And y'all are sick of hearing about it.... but tomorrow is General Conference Sunday! Get ready!
