weeks have been flying by and weekends have been going even faster! can you believe forrest and i have been dating 9 weeks? i can't! {although i'll be honest, most times i can't remember when i didn't date him...}
a few weekends ago we went down to eureka where we ate lunch and just hung around and took pictures of all the old buildings! i can't believe i found someone who takes more pictures than i do...<3

we even stopped at an antique shop where he bought me our first cookie cutter, so adorable :)

the next weekend i was sick ALL weekend and he worked ALL weekend...speaking of work i detest diamond rental...they steal my boyfriend and occupy wayyyy too much of his time. and when he isn't at work he is exhausted from his 14 hr day. blehhh.
this weekend we went on a camping excursion with the most redneck people i have ever associated with they were sooo nice. not gonna lie it was pretty awesome! {connie-the mom said this to me "i've never been out of the country, wait i take that back when i was 6 or 7 i went to disneyland and san diego zoo for a day. but i'd really like to go to alaska or canada someday." i mean i totally understand why she got confused about disneyland...there are so many nationalites there it has to be hard to remember you are still in America. ha i can't stop laughing about that}
first we found moose tracks...they were HUGE!! freaked me out!

next my darling boyfriend shot a poor little chipmunk with his bow...i will admit it was a great shot but the poor little guy probably had a family and friends, to that forrest said you don't know that he could have been a thief/outlaw stealing everyone's food and murdering. ha i love him.

and finally i made him this message. can you figure it out?

{eye love ewe aka 'i love you'}
tonight i'm home in my bed missing snuggling by the fire...and when i thought he didn't even miss me he said "just around the fire..i miss you" he might like me too?

l.o.v.e.

do you remember the last time you liked someone so much that after pretty much 7 straight weeks of being together everyday you still want to spend all your free time with them...and try and find more time to be together.
and then after an amazing saturday when you have been together over 10 hours and you get home expecting to have at least 2 more hours to spend together but he is exhausted and leaves you home alone you get upset that you can't spend the rest of the night together...i'm not sure what is going on but forrest dear, i think i have an idea why i'm so crazy about being with you as long as possible. i've pretty much all together entirely fallen for you.
i miss you and its only been 1 hour since you left....

your better half

and next time you say would it be cliche to ask you to marry me right now, please don't do it while i'm holding a glass dish...and a ring would be nice, just sayin

to mom

i love you.
happy mom's day {i know how much you hate the word mother}
thanks for all you do/have done.
i love you mucho!

{isn't he the cutest?}

i kinda like him

"you look cute...i just passed you :)"

what better way to end my work day than driving home and looking down to see that text message from the boy. i just adore him. he makes me feel like the cutest girl in the world, even in my sweat pants.



ps his name is forrest :)
