Getaway

Coming home from a nice weekend getaway turns into a dream when everything around me starts to look familiar again. I spent the weekend in Illinois with Tyler for his best friends engagement party. It makes me happy to see him in his element with his friends from the previous college he attended out in Chicago. We spent most of the time in the country and even though I'd love to live in a big city, cornfield and small towns made me enjoy the simpler things. It also made me feel fortunate to have I have now.

We ate at a lot of hometown restaurants that turned every head when I walked in. Probably because I'm the only colored person in the entire town. Luckily it's a familiar feeling and I still managed to exchange smiles with everyone there. 

Everyday was quiet. A nice quiet. A quiet that I dwelled upon. A simple thing that I enjoyed this weekend.

Overall it was a nice time away. It made it even better since I got to spend it with Tyler. Times like this makes our relationship stronger. I'm more thankful for him, and his patience with me this weekend. How did I ever get so lucky?

Anyways, finals week is around the corner and I'm slightly panicking. 

Papers, tests, and studying. Sorry social network but I will not let you distract me this week. Or at least try not to let you distract me.
