Its been a crazy year. So much is different in my life since I started college. Not only am I living in my first apartment with two friends, including my best friend Cait, but I have turned 21 and also gained another person in my life, namely my boyfriend Travis. Its hard to think that my birthday and my relationship coincided as they did, in fact our relationship became official the morning of my birthday. Hows that for odd huh? Some present huh? Happy Birthday, you have a boyfriend! Not to mention he is my first real boyfriend. Its like hello, you can drink now and have someone to pamper you as well, which Travis certainly does. He won't let me pay for anything and he loves to cook, so he cooks for me too. Our first real date he took me hiking which I love to do, and then out to dinner at a mexican restuarant. Then the next date we had, he cooked me dinner and we watched a movie. It was after that, that he asked me out, about midnight the day before my birthday and it was official the next morning. So if that wasn't enough, he had bought me a bottle of wine for my birthday and the cork to open it, and then he spent the evening of my birthday with me and took me to get icecream. Then that friday we went out with friends to Red Lobster and I ordered my first drink as a 21 year old and got a yummy pina colada, and my favorite Snow Crab Legs, and I was going to pay for it myself, but needless to say when it was time for the bill, the boy wouldn't let me pay and treated me. Its been exactly a week today that we have dated and so far he is a very attentive and sweet boyfriend. Let's see how long that lasts, because from what I have seen with my friends relationships, it doesn't usually stay that way. Wish me luck, though I am pretty sure he is not going to be mr. forever, but for right now, hes nice to have around.
