350 miles round trip (563km) Worth every mile!

It was so hard to go to Duluth yesterday and so easy at the same time!

Hard because I knew that it would be a long drive home.

Easy because of Felipe...What can I say, he has my heart and I would do this for him!
I am so glad I did!!!

I don't get to see Felipe enough...He is so extremely busy all the time with work, school, studies and soccer. He is amazing! He does so much to succeed! Everyone should have his outlook on life and work as hard as he does to accomplish their goals! Felipe inspires me! I cannot express how much he means to me....I wish I could do more for him!

We had a great time last night freezing our butts off! It was so great to see him play soccer for a full game! Finally I got to see him play! Wow! He runs so fast his legs are blur's.... He can kick the ball with such precision it is unreal! Phils puts everything into his game!

Before the game, Felipe showed Evan and I where he worked on campus and the new coffee bar he will be working at. We saw the cafeteria where he works too. Busy place on a Sunday night. UMD has a beautiful campus and buildings. I asked Phils about campus during the winter.....Do you have to walk outside to get from one building to another or are they all connected by tunnels or walkways? They are connected, you do not have to go outside unless you leave campus!.....Hey, it gets pretty darn cold in Minneapolis in the winter...But the winds coming off Lake Superior reduce the temperature in Duluth even more! BRRRR...In Minneapolis, you can walk through most of the city by just using the skyway system....You can get lost easily though if you don't know where you are going...Been there, done that.

After soccer we went to get something to eat at Perkins....Kinda Evans choice... Evan and Felipe were very hungry....Me, I just was happy to be with both of them! Lucky me! Took Phils back to his apartment to pick up some things then dropped him off at his friends apartment on campus to study and spend the night. Phils actually drove my car once I got to Duluth...Hey, he knows where we need to go and I don't! Besides, I just drove 175 miles to see him.

Later when I was home sleeping, Phils texted my cell phone at 4:30am and said "Finally got done with calc! Good thing I don't work 2morrow, eh? :)" my response at 4:34am was "OMG! Good thing you don't work TODAY!" That scarred him and he texted back (and I am still smiling about this) "I think every hair on my body popped up when my phone beeped and I almost crapped myself" ( oh Felipe....You do make me smile) My text back to him... "Now you know how I feel...lol...luv ya". He woke me up at 4:30....I should scare him for doing that! Ah Phils, you can text me any time you want to! Seeing the texts from you makes me happy....Even when ya wake me up...xoxoxo

The drive home was long but Evan and I were glad that we went to see Felipe! Sometimes ya just need a little Phils to get ya through the week! Beijos sweet guy! See you soon!
