Hello fellow bloggers. In my last post I had left off right when I met Cory, my farm boy from Apple River. We had our first date on April 10th, of this year. Like most, I was incredibly nervous and overly worried that Cory wouldn’t like me because I’m plus sized. The fact that I couldn’t get ‘Unbeautiful’ by Lesley Roy out of my head didn’t help either–that song had become my theme song after Ryan left me. I felt like that song was written just for me and couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes every time it was on the radio. Of course this song was most popular right around that time and we all know how radio stations overplay the current hits, so needless to say, I heard it non stop. Getting back to Cory, I would say our first day was pretty average–we went to dinner and a movie and he just dropped me off at my place afterwards. No kiss goodnight, just a quick goodbye. I wouldn’t say the first date was overly great or anything but I knew enough to know I wanted to see them again.

As if things aren’t awkward enough on a second date, I happened to have a friend getting married the next weekend and reluctantly asked him to attend with me–after all, who wants to go to a wedding alone? Much to my surprise, he said yes–then and their I know he was different than most guys. We continued to talk on yahoo messenger every day, getting to know each other more and more. I came to know just how different he was from anyone I’d ever dated. He had never been on a date before me, never had a real relationship and despite all that, he knew how to treat a girl.

Every weekend since we met with the exception of one (I was sick with a kidney stone, throwing up nonstop and didn’t want him to see me like that) he came to Dubuque (an hour away) to be with me. Everytime he came it got harder and harder to say goodbye. Some nights he wouldn’t leave for home until 3 in the morning. Finally after a couple months he began spending the night with me. When it was time for me to move from my apartment, he began spending the whole weekend. No matter how much time I get to spend with him, its never enough!

Sorry to end here bloggers, but its time for me to sign off for the night! I’ll get into more detail next time!

Sweet dreams and peace to all!
