Day 17 - Your Favorite Memory

I'm going to do two, one with friends and one with just Cody.


Cody - I have ton's of favorite memories with him. Some that he would probably rather me not describe on here and some obvious one's, like our birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. Both valentines days were amazing, so was our 6 month and 1 year. My recent birthday was even better. I think my favorite recent memory though is when we laid a cover down outside at night and enjoyed the stars. We put on his Ipod so we could listen to some music and then laid down and snuggled while looking at the stars. We talked a lot about randoms things and I think at one point I even dozed off. It was so peaceful and amazing, even if it wasn't some big moment in our relationship I loved it.


Friends - There isn't really one great memory, there's a bunch of random ones that I love. The time I spent the night with Jesse and Cody was great, they sung "If Your Into It" to me and we made a bonfire outside then went in and watched some Spirited Away. Going to see Nine Inch Nails with both of them is also a great memory. I fell asleep on the way home and remember when Jesse grabbed both Cody and me when they played Hurt. The few nights I spent with Tarah were also extremely fun. Especially the one when we hid TMNT eggs, then tried to hunt them but forget where we hid them,ha. Or when we had that battle on her laptop with random toys. Then there's the night I spent with Brad which was filled with lots of talking, pool and movies. Or the day Clarice and me had a girls day and we went around trying on clothes and taking pictures. The earlier shows when people actually went were amazing. Plus any of the times when I went bowling with friends, bowling always proved to be fun. :)

Day 16 - Your first kiss

Random fact: This picture has 64 views on Myspace and that's a bit weird.
My first kiss was on January 16th, 2009. I was a late bloomer in this whole relations thing

I remember that right away everyone felt the need to ask me if we had made out yet or if he had kissed me yet and would not shut up about it. They made it sound like there was something wrong with me because he didn't do it right away. Becca even asked me if I was sure that he liked me. Seriously.

Anyways, the first few weeks he would give me little pecks on my cheek and forehead which is extremely cute, but no full on kisses happened until about three weeks after we had started dating.

I remember he came over and we had decided to just watch Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and snuggle. I had never seen the movie and it's one of his favorite book series, so I do believe that's why he wanted to watch it. About 1/3 of the way through Jesse called, I really can't remember why now, but he talked to me and then talked to Cody for awhile and a little bit after that phone call Cody kissed me. Well he attempted to, at first try he got my chin instead of my lips. Second try he got it right though :)

At first it was just a peck, then went on to full on making out,ha. We caught up fast. I remember he told me it was my fault because I was too cute and he told me he would still love me if I looked like Dobby.

Then for the next few months we were cursed with the inability to sit through a full movie,ha. :)

Birthday present!

So, when I posted about my birthday I said I would share pictures of the gift that Cody got me. It's a journal in which he decorated some pages for me and it's extremely cute :)

Since I really enjoy it, everyone else gets to see it. These pictures in no way represent how awesome it actually looks, I had to use my old camera and it's was pretty hard to get a picture that wasn't blurry.

Day 15 - Your Dreams

I don't have a lot of career related goals or dream, I do know things I want to accomplish, but I'm not really concerned about money, I just want to be happy.

I would LOVE to get at least one picture published in any sort of magazine. I don't think I'll ever be able to make a living off of photography because it's such a competitive field, but I do want to get something published, at least one thing.

I want to be able to get a job that I like, I don't have to love it but I at least don't want to hate it. I don't want to be miserable in my job like everyone else seems to be, though I'm sure there's good reason to be. You spend a good percentage of your life just working so I don't want to waste my time hating it. I will find something to like once I get a job, even if it's just the paycheck part of it :)

I want to work somewhere where I can either help people, help animals or work with cameras. At the moment I'm considering child care, like working at a day care or a preschool, but I have no idea. I'm also considering being a librarian but I believe there's a lot of college involved with that career so I'm not sure. Social work,, working in a museum or a photojournalist are other choices, but I seriously have no idea. I'm not going to stress about it though because constantly worrying isn't going to help anything. I really just want to work at a zoo, but there isn't any in Somerset :(

Those are my work related goals at the moment, I really don't think about it too much other than hoping that I'll be able to do something that I actually like.

There are a few life goals/dreams I have though.

I want to move out with Cody in about a year or two, we just need to get jobs and save up money first. I want to decorate our apartment together and just enjoy living with him. I really don't want to be set back on this because I don't want to be living in my mom's house when I'm 23. I want to move out soon and be able to live on my own, so most of my paychecks will be going in the bank.

I want to eventually get married. I don't know exactly when but I know to whom ;). I was thinking about waiting til after college, but I'm not sure yet. That seems like it would take forever since I'm also going for my Bachelors. Either way, I just really want to get married. Just a piece of paper or not, I like the idea of a wedding and marriage.

Overall, I just really want to be able to stay with Cody. I'm sure I'm horrible to put up with, but I hope he will be able to put up with me because I really want this relationship to work. I want to prove others wrong that think first loves never last or that I'm to young to be committed. I could never see myself with anyone else and I don't want to give him any reason to break up with me. I want to be able to work through our problems and be able to grow and change together.

I also want to lose all the weight I want to. Get over all my insecurities. Buy a really expensive, nice camera. Own a corgi and see The White Stripes in concert. Learn how to argue more fairly and how to not take everything so personally. Keep in touch with some of my high school friends and to stop worrying so much and travel a lot.

That's all I can think of at the moment. I think some of the last ones were more goals than dreams, but oh well. At first I thought it meant like sleep dreams so I was just going to describe zombies and end of the world dreams, but you got this instead.

Day 14 - What I Wore Today

I had to get my textbooks today so I wore my Justice League shirt which has a lot of superheros on it and my dark blue jeans from Maurices.

I drove around with my dad and Cody forever looking for a car that was extremely cheap, but still didn't have a ton of miles on it. I think I settled on a gold Mazda that kind of looks like something my grandma would drive, but it's cheap and has air! They just have to go a bit lower on the price and I'll be able to get it.

When we got home, I changed from pants to those orange Operation pajama pants that Cody's dad gave me and that was the extent of my wardrobe for the day. Interesting stuff.

This did remind me though that I kind of want a maxi dress at Kmart. If only I had some extra money :(

Day 13- This week

(That's Supernatural!)

I'm not sure I can remember what I did all week, but I'll try.

Monday - I really think we just spent a lot time laying around. For most of the week, Cody didn't have much gas so it was either my house or his. Usually my house. I'm sure we sat around, listened to music, snuggled and maybe watched a few Ouran High school Host Club episodes.

Tuesday - We went to the movies with Brad to see Dinner for Schmucks, which was a pretty good movie, the best part was Zach Galifianakis laugh though. It was fun and we finally got see Brad again, but I wish people would want to do something other than go to the movies. You really can't talk when you go to movies, so to me it'd be a lot easier to catch up if you go to the park or on a trail or something! I can't remember what we did when we got home, but it probably wasn't that interesting.

Wednesday - I drove us up to the Pulaski County Library and checked out two books, Tuesdays with Morrie and A Million Little Pieces. I read One More Day by Mitch Albom and thought it was pretty good. We also drove down to the Burnside Library to return another book. Other than that, I don't really remember doing anything other than laying around the house.

Thursday - I'm not really sure what I did Thursday. I do know Cody came over and that my teeth started hurting, so I probably took some drugs went to bed early.

Friday - We woke up around 6 am and my mom drove both of us over to my dad's so we could sit around and wait til he needed to go to Louisville. I watched Angel, Charmed and Supernatural, Cody slept. My dad finally got up at 11 and around 12 we left. I drove most of the way, but my teeth started hurting so Cody took over when we were about an hour or so from the doctors office. We got stuck in traffic, then finally got there and the doctor my dad was supposed to see wasn't even there, so he didn't find out much. On the way out of Louisville we managed to get lost and I almost hit a lady crossing the street because Cody waited til the last minute to tell me to turn. I drove most of the way until my teeth started hurting again. We stopped to get Orajel (which was $9 by the way, that's crazy) and I thought I was good, but they started hurting again, so I pulled over and Cody drove. I cried some about teeth, got grumpy and didn't get home til around 9. I went to sleep right away.

Saturday - Cody felt like staying in so for most of the day I slept. Not because he decided to stay in,but because I felt horrible. I think I ended up swallowing a lot of Orajel so my stomach hurt, my teeth were making my jaw hurt and giving me headaches and I couldn't eat or drink anything without my teeth deciding to hurt. I slept til about 8 pm, woke up and called Cody who decided to come over because he wasn't doing anything but playing Street Fighter and he said I sounded sad so he wanted to make me feel better. I don't remember doing much when he came over, I'm sure we just laid around a lot because my jaw felt better if I was laying on a pillow.

Sunday - Cody came over earlier than usual and we went over his house. My teeth decided to hurt again so he was trying to find me some Aleve and ended up giving me something called BC which was horrible and made me want to vomit. I laid down for a bit at his house, then we went to meet dad to get the $20 he gives me every payday. Which I used most of it to by hair dye because I thought it would make me feel better. We got home and I slept some more because of the pain and then I dyed my hair which came out darker than I meant for it too, but everyone seems to like it. Cody stayed downstairs when I was dying it and when I walked in the room he said "Awh you look pretty". It is now a brownish color, but not extremely dark and still has darker blonde mixed in with it. I don't know what color you would call that!

Day 12 - What's in your bag

So, I don't usually carry a bag because I don't like carrying things and purses get on my nerves. I do carry a wallet most of the time that I usually end up making Cody hold, so I'll just post whats in that.

In the pockets there's my drivers license, my debit card and a business card for the manager at Walgreen's that I'm actually going to throw away now since I don't need it.

In the middle for some reason I still have Cody's USB flash drive, a receipt from Wal-mart for yarn, a movie ticket for Dinner for Schmucks and my baby blockers :).

In the zipper part there's a key chain sized Speedy Rewards card that is actually Cody's, one quarter from Panama that I somehow happened upon and decided to keep, one squished penny from Diamond Cavern, an assortment of fortunes that say - "You have a quiet and unobtrusive nature", "You will have a pleasant trip", "Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause", "You have the ability to nurture and work creatively with others" and "You have an iron will, which helps you succeed in everything" - and $1.83 in change.
