After 4 long months, Keith finally arrived in Madrid on Thursday December 20th!! His flight was a little delayed so I spent a good hour waiting around at the airport before he got in. I just kinda placed myself up against the wall by the exit of baggage claim and waited. This moment was something I'd been thinking about and anticipating for a long time - I spent a good part of that hour long wait crying out of happiness before I even saw him. But when he finally came out, it wasn't quite the reunion I had pictured - running, leaping into arms, etc - because 4 large suitcases kinda impeded by ability to attack him. So, I settled for blocking the exit while I kissed him and cried (until I decided we should probably move over by the windows).
We rented an apartment in Sol for the 2 weeks he was here, so we took the metro over. Despite my warning before entering the train about moving anything important into my purse or his chest pocket, he left him phone in his pants pocket and was cheerfully greeted by 2 pickpockets. Luckily he noticed them and pushed them off the train at the nearest stop before they could get in his pocket, but it pretty much made him terrified of any public transit for the remainder of the trip.
Our apartment was beautiful and suited us well. Only problem was that the fuse to the kitchen appliances liked to shut off randomly, leaving our laundry drenched and full of soap at some points (meaning 4 hours of washing instead of the normal 2).
Personally, I loved having the freedom at the apartment and being able to cook something healthy for once.
Kinda thinking I might be lusting after an apartment for back in Ohio...
