Hey honey!
I just wanted to tell you that I love you a ton! I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to write. This past week was really busy for me!
Thanks for the phone call on Friday, I really appreciate it when you call. I had a really fun/interesting birthday! I think everyone was super sore the next day, except me though! :) I wish you could have been here to enjoy it with me!
Guess what? It snowed today (well mix of rain and snow but still snow!)!! Well nothing too bad for normal people but it's me we are talking about. It was also a cold day, something I'm sure you would enjoy. I would have really enjoyed the day if I was with you drinking hot chocolate : )
I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your time off. Well I guess you wouldn't be off today since it is already morning over there and barely 1230ish here.
I miss you and love you!
Gerardo

Greetings from Chi-town...well close

Hey honey! Guess what? I'm near Chi-Town! Well I'm in this town called Waukegan, it's about an hour from Chicago. We're staying here for the weekend. Oh sorry, I'm going to the regional conference for MAPS in Chicago. We are going to Roseland Franklin Medical school. I'm so EXCITED because I have looked at that school for medical school. So hopefully I'll be able to make a good impression and get accepted there.
Every time I think about medical school I think about our future together. I know that it's still a long way away but I can't help think about it. I love you so much and would be so honored and excited to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm such a lucky guy and I don't think I really appreciate how lucky I am. I seriously see us together in the future.
Well I should get to bed, I have a long day tomorrow. Have a great day tomorrow!
Loves and hugs!
Gerardo

p.s.
you are amazing!

Here we go again...

Hello my love!
Well let me just tell you right off the bat...I'm getting sick!! Gross I know! The worst part is...I have SO MUCH TO DO!!! I have a midterm Thursday, a paper due Thursday also, and a 10 paper due on Sunday. It gets worse! This Friday I leave for Chicago for a regional MAPS conference and I don't get back until Sunday. To top it all off I don't know if my hotel room has internet which I need! So boo on everything!!
Other than that everything is fine and dandy. LOL! Well seriously I really don't have anything to complain about.
I hope all is well! I miss you and love you a TON!!!
Keep your head up!
With lots of love,
Gerardo
XOXO

Peace and love

May every star you wish upon
And every hope you're hangin' on come true
Out of everybody in the world
There's no one who deserves it more than you
I hope you find
Everything you've been dreamin' of
Only good things
No in betweens just
Peace and love
These words did not come easily
Still you know I had to write them down
You must know what you mean to me
I wish that you could always be around
I hope you find
Everything you are worthy of
I'm gonna miss you
But I only wish you
Peace and love
Peace and love
Tears of joy
Kindness of strangers
All of your roads
Paved in gold
By guardian angels
Wherever you may be in this world
My salutation says it all
May you always have enough
Peace and love
I let you go unselfishly
Cause everyone needs time to be alone
Well maybe time will bring you back
And if it does you'll always have a home
I sign my name
No one to blame it on because
I'm on your side
No question of pride
Peace and love
Tears of joy
Kindness of strangers
All of your roads
Paved in gold
By guardian angels
Wherever you may be in this world
My salutation says it all
May you always have enough
Peace and love




I love listening to this song because I know that where ever you are in this Earth you'll be followed by peace and love.
I'm really sorry that guys won't leave you alone. It's frustrating to hear that and not be able to do anything. Just know that you are in my prayers and that I'll be here whenever you need me. You are strong Nikki (Literally! Remember the numerous occasions where you wrestled me to the ground?) and if you ever need more support strength just know that I am here.

Sorry I wasn't online today, I was with the family. My family, nano, and Jose say hi! My mom also asked how you were doing! (It made me excited for some odd reason :) ) I should be able to call you tomorrow so you might get a ring from me. :)

With LOTS of love,
Gerardo


p.s. you are beautiful!

"May every star you wish upon

I love you Nikki : )

Where did you go?

Hey Honey!
It's been a while since I talked to you! I think I missed your call the other day, not sure. I just wanted to make sure that you were okay and not lost in Israel. I'm not doing anything today (or this weekend) so feel free to call or Skype if you can. I understand if you are super busy because it seems like its just that time of year. I hope you are well and are enjoying yourself!

With lots of love!
Gerardo

p.s. Fall is starting to be very apparent in not only the leaves but also in the temperature!! BRRR!!!! I'll post some pictures soon.

XOXO

Hey Gorgeous!!
So I think you called me today around 11pm. I was hanging out with Mike and Brett and I'm sure we were way too loud to hear my phone. I know that I haven't had a change to talk to you so I just wanted to tell you that I am good but starting to get a little overwhelmed with school. I think my health is starting to get better so no worries. I crashed super early last night and made sure I got enough sleep so I think it helped. I'm also starting to train for my triathlon so I'm super sore and my body is always in pain but I'm sure I'll get accustomed to it. I hope you are great and are enjoying yourself out there. Be safe and enjoy the beautiful warm weather.
By the way, it's really nice to hear that people are so friendly to you and others when they themselves are in a such a difficult situation. It only helps me realize that not all hope is lost and that people still care enough for strangers that they don't even know.

I love you a lot and hope to hear from you.
Gerardo

Wow!

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I am such a lucky guy! I don't know where I would be without you in my life. I don't think I tell you enough how lucky I am to have you in my life and how wonderful you are. I am truly blessed. You make me look at life from a different perspective and focus on how lucky I am. I am truly blessed with the amazing family, friends and amazing girlfriend I have. I don't think I thank God as much as I should for such an amazing life.

Thank you for everything that you have done and will do in the future...I miss you a lot.
Have a great week!
Gerardo
xoxo



p.s. You are such a wonderful person and girlfriend. Most importantly, you are an amazing friend.

Weekend story for my beautiful

HEY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I hope all is well and warm!! lol!
I'm glad I got to talk to you for like 10 mins. Every chance that I get to talk to you is amazing. Well it's Sunday going on Monday again, man sometimes time itself just cruises by. In a way that is good thing because that means that I will be able to see you sooner! I can't believe that we are going on 2 months without seeing each other! It's kind of crazy since the longest I have gone without seeing you is a month! I know that we'll be okay though so I don't worry. Well this weekend was fun. I went out to Hillary's birthday party. We first went to dinner and then went out to First Ave. It was funny because a few of her friends are abroad so I was the only guy at a table of 13 girls...it wasn't too awkward so that is always good. After that a bunch of us hung out at her friend Megan's place and partied there. Her bf was kind of an ass. He kept ignoring her (Megan) and was just an all around jerk (but later on in the night he was nice for like 10 mins then back to being a jerk..weird??). It just made me realize that I don't ever (EVER!!!) want to be like that and I'm sorry if I ever was like that. Like I know that I can get crabby and stuff when I stress out but nobody deserves that kind of treatment, especially someone that you love. So I just want to apologize for any past, present or future moments were I am a jerk. You don't deserve that. We then left Megan's and went to First Ave. were everyone kept getting lost and I was stuck dancing in a circle with two straight Brazilian guys. Talk about really REALLY AWKWARD! Overall the night was fun and nobody tried to rap (dance with me sexually) me at the club which was nice. So that was my weekend and you know what happened earlier so I won't go into that. Not too exciting or anything but still a good weekend.
By the way...HAPPY Anniversary! I can't believe it has been 14 months! Wow! I wish I could be there to celebrate with you!! I would make you some pico and maybe something else if I could find the right ingredients. I hope you didn't think I would forget! Silly you!!! I love you a TON!!!

I hope all is well and I hope you get a chance to talk to your mom and sister!
Have a fun time with the kids and tell them I say hi in Arabic. OH, I almost forgot!!! So Mike found Rosetta Stone on the Hub and he said that he thinks Arabic is on there so I think I might get it and start to learn a little. We could have a small conversation....in 3 different languages!!! AWESOME!!!

If I can think of anything else I will blog it soon. Sorry I haven't been so up to date on this blog, long week! I'll be better this week and in the future.
Good night honey! Well good morning I guess!! I love you a ton!!! Take care!

With lots of love,
Gerardo
XOXOXOXOXO


p.s. you are an amazing person and I'm so luck to have you in my life : )
