My SO hurt his hip during a run about Mid-July and has been on crutches ever since. He's been doing multiple scans to figure out what was wrong and if/when he can continue his training. Turned out to be a stress fracture. This morning, his mom Facebooked me and told me they were sending him home for 30 days to heal, meaning he would be graduating with his class on August 29th, but I could still go see him. He is to back home tomorrow evening. Well next week is the last week of my summer vacation before I have to go back to work and so I decided that, what the heck, I am going to drive the 23 hours up there to spend the week with him. I'm taking my mother and daughter with me because we have family less than an hour away that we haven't seen in years, so it's a very last minute (but very exciting) family vacation. That way if things work out (which don't see why they won't) he can also meet my daughter.

I normally don't do anything so spontaneous, but I just feel so good about this relationship. Plus I know he is going to be spiritually broken because he was trying so hard to graduate on time. So I want to be there to support and cheer him up.

The silver lining to all this I will be meeting him on Saturday, which also happens to be my birthday. I honestly couldn't ask for a better birthday present

So wish me luck ^^
