one step at a time

@dantept—it's missing sweetface hours. ☹️ i know we were together just this morning, but i hate knowing it's going to be over a week before i get to see you again. did you make it to kentucky okay?

I miss you too, cariño. Hopefully I'll have things worked out by the time the next tour comes around and I'll be able to come along with you all. I know you'll have a good time, and your family will be happy to see you. Let them know I said hello and I hope to see them again soon too, please? Last nights show went off without a hitch so let's see if tonight and tomorrow will be just as easy.

@dantept—bro! i know you were in vacay mode so you probably missed the games showcase when it all went down, but have you seen the new saw game coming out? it looks sick! i'm usually not too into the asymmetrical games like that, but i think i might have to make an exception when it drops. you in?

Believe me, I was sure to catch up on it all once I could! That was one of the ones that immediately got added to the wishlist. I never did get to try out the old SAW game so there's no way I'm going to miss out on this one. In other words; I am definitely down! What'd you think of State of Decay 3? I know you're a zombie fan.

so needed! i didn't even realize how run down i was feeling until after the first night. waking up to that view outside the window with the birds singing and your arms around me... it was pure bliss. ❤️ it's my favorite way to wake up every morning, but we don't get these views at home. i'll miss it a little, but i'm also glad we still have tonight. i kind of just want to sit out on the deck with you... or maybe enjoy the hot tub. 😘

I think that's how it often is. You keep so busy you don't have time to notice how exhausted you are until you're actually able to stop for a bit. Nothing compares to the view but we can always add some bird feeders or houses in the yard at home to try and encourage more visits from them. But every morning I get to wake up with you in my arms it's guaranteed to be a good start to the day. Although it does also make it hard to want to get up when I have to work. Last night was a good way to end the trip. We'll have to find a way to do it more often. Now I'm thinking, should we add a hot tub at home? I think we'd get plenty of use out of it, heh.

I remember you saying something along those lines before 'Mania, but I wasn't sure if you'd changed your mind since then. For what it's worth, I still think it's a good idea. Yes, actually, I absolutely can blame you. Sheesh. Now I'm wondering, is that the only reason you agreed to the trip in the first place? So you have an excuse to see a Dodgers game? Wouldn't put it past you, now that I think about it. It will be good to have a day in LA, though. At least we'll have a good mix of nature and the city.

I'll have to see if I can work something out, but I do think I want to give it a good try. It'll probably have to wait until after the tour's over since things are already crazy enough with it going on, and last thing I want is to cause any confusion. Okay, Eddito 😂. Of course not! It's one of the places I've wanted to take Meera to anyway so it works out, but why wouldn't I want to take the chance to see a game if we're already going to be out there? We don't get to see many games in person anymore.

of course! but you're so sweet you'd probably say that even if i made you wait and then came out wearing sweats and one of your hoodies. 😘 yeeees! i'm so ready, sweetface. i've already been looking at things to do and making a list. i'll probably scrap it once we get there since that's usually what happens, but i like having at least some idea ahead of time. i might go shopping to grab a couple things this weekend too. can't have a trip without a new bikini. 😇

That's because you look amazing in sweats and my hoodie. You look great in absolutely anything, but you wearing something of mine will always rank near the top. There is a lot to do so it makes sense to try to plan ahead. Like you said, it is nice to have some idea even if we do usually end up seeing where our mood leads us once we get someplace. We'll probably be able to do some of what's planned anyway. Do I get a sneak peek at what you bought or are you making me wait until we're in Big Bear 👀?
