Late Nights and a wierd disease

After Brian and I's first kiss, we started spending all the time that we could together, even into the late hours of the night. Then we started falling asleep in random places. We obviously both slept through class. I fell asleep during a group discussion in class and Brian fell asleep while vacuuming at work. (He was an early-morning custodian at the time). After a few weeks my roommate Bree talked to me and told me what we were doing was not wise. I talked to Brian and told him I did not want to stay up so late anymore, he agreed, and we stopped and our relationship grew as a result.

But all the late nights and school and work must have done a number on my immune system. One day I went to work and there was a bump above my eye, and the people at work and I decided it was a spider bite. The night it grew some and it started to come to a head. I thought maybe it was going to be a nasty pimple-ugg. The next morning I woke up and I couldn't open that eye, it was so swollen. I then went back to the spider bite theory, and called my mom and asked her to take me to the doctor. Well it was neither, I had a staph infection (the kind you get in the hospital, that are resistant to plain-jane antibiotics). I had to be on the first level of super duper antiboitics (do you like my medical terms). Then that weekend when we were hanging out with people in my ward, everyone kept commenting on how Brian was beating me. It went down a couple of days later and then scabbed over. When I pulled the scab off I found a pit above my eye where the staph had eaten away my flesh. Gross. Bree tried to take a picture, but it didn't do it justice.

I did get better, but as you will see, this won't be the last time I get to see a staph infection.

First Kiss

The next weekend was my birthday. My birthday was on the Saturday, but I was going to hang out with my family that Friday, so Brian called dibs on Saturday night. Brian spent a lot of time that week with Bree planning what dinner Brian should make for my birthday. One of my co-workers said that I should watch out or Brian and Bree would become a couple instead, but they are both too great to even think about doing something that to me, so I wasn't worried at all.

Brian decided to cook fettuccini alfredo, and he even made the alfredo sauce himself. After that we watched "Life is Beautiful". Brian didn't make any moves on me during that movie, because it is so sad. When that was over he put in "Forrest Gump". Then he kissed me.
