Day 2 - Your first love

My first love is Cody Bates and I'm hoping he'll be my only. I really couldn't see myself with anyone but him. We were best friends for a year or so before dating and have known each other for almost 5 years now. Our two year anniversary is only five months away and it's a bit strange to me since it doesn't even feel like it's been a year yet. :)

I liked him for two years before we started dating and most likely annoyed everyone near me for a good bit of both of those years. I always analyzed everything and spent a lot of time hoping which eventually payed off on January 2nd

We spent that whole day together at Battle of the Bands, but for some reason he didn't decide to ask me until I got on Myspace later that night. He was so nervous that at first he sent an empty message,ha.

Our first date we saw The Spirit which was horrible but it did give us time to cuddle. I most likely babbled about something random and then while sitting at the tables in the cinema he randomly grabbed my hand and held it. The first few months were full of snuggling, movies and freezing our asses off at Raptor.

I worried a lot at first and he comforted me and had way more patience with me than he probably should of. I eventually got him to open up and talk more about himself. Though that took some time and at times I still have to convince him to talk more. He's helped me with my self esteem and has made me happier than I've ever been and hopefully I've helped him some too.

We have lots of things we do that would probably be extremely corny to anyone else. We snuggle and spend a lot of time sleeping. We play the question game a lot and he gets tickled a lot. We blow each other kisses and catch them before he leaves and I always check to make sure there's not monsters in his car on the days when he doesn't tuck me in. Basically we're the most corny couple ever.

We spend almost every day together and still I never get tired of him, I love having him around and hope he enjoys every day we spend together too. I'm so glad we can be around each other for so long without tiring of each other. I still get butterflies from him and sometimes I even get goosebumps. I love the way he makes me feel.

We feed ducks a lot and go to the park a lot. We have a lot of the same interests and have few differences. I still worry off and on and he still listens to everything and comforts me. My main motivation to get a job is so we can live with each other and don't have to worry about when he needs to leave.

We argue some and hug more. He's the most interesting guy I've met and is completely different from anyone else. He's not interested in looking at other women and says I'm the only one he finds attractive. I'm happy about this, because I hate double standards.

His family is amazing, no matter how irritating they are sometimes. They feed me most of the time since we never have food, they let me go to all of the family events and his grandma thinks I'm pretty :). I'm really glad I won't have horrible in-laws or really have to deal with anything more than him not being able to spend the night. I like all of his family members that I've met, even his crazy aunt.

I love you, Cody. :)


(Also, I wasn't sure if this meant to just talk about him or our relationship together so I chose the latter.)
