We just got back from Molly's shore house. Josh just left to get the oil changed in my car...I kind of forgot about it and it's kind of a few thousand miles past when it was supposed to be changed. He told me to relax and he would take care of it since it's my birthday and all.

This morning we got up early and the two of us went out to breakfast. I'm feeling sad about summer ending and him leaving. I guess I was wearing it all over my face because he told me I should be happy on my birthday. I almost burst into tears. It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to!

We had another conversation about him leaving. He thinks the next few days will be the hardest but after he's gone I'll be fine. His theory is that the dread part of it is the worst. Once he's gone I'll just be used to him being gone. It's just so much easier for him because he'll be some place new. He'll be doing something different and I'll be stuck here missing him. It's so unfair. We are finally together and he has to leave. :(

He told me that I have to be happy on my birthday so I'm trying. I have to go to campus this afternoon to buy my books but the rest of the day is mine. Aunt Lu and my mom are driving out to have dinner with me tonight. Josh is coming along too. I am spending every second with him that I can until he leaves on Saturday. And it's my birthday so I told my mom that I get to choose which guests come to my dinner. She didn't say anything.

That's all for now. I need to unpack more of my things and Josh will be back soon.
