In the past six months, you've helped me learn how to be truly happy, how to truly love all of someone, and how to be patient. You have helped me grow as a person, and have only made my life better. And now I can't imagine what my life would be like without you. I love you for all of that. Thank You.

I have no control when it comes to sweets - candy, cookies, brownies, ice cream... - If it's in the house, I eat it. I'll eat it in the morning, late at night, at lunch, dinner, doesn't matter. I have no control lol. It's worse than having a sweet tooth, it's like all of my teeth are sweet teeth.
#33: March 1, 2013:
Technology and I don't get along very well, at all. Usually it's the computer that I have to fight with, and usually it wins. sigh.
#34: March 2, 2013:
I miss playing video games, sometimes. :)
#35: March 4, 2013: Lifting
I kinda miss lifting at the gym. Especially on leg days. It always felt so good to be lifting and all the guys would stand around and watch me lift more than 95% of them - usually in squats. I loved doing squats. The gym was one place where you could feel instant progress and satisfaction - sooner than you could see it. Uping the weights, adding on weight, felt like it does when I finish writing an essay or story. Instant satisfaction. There's not much that felt that good - especially at that time. Maybe some day when I have the time, money, and energy, I'll join a gym again.
#36: March 5, 2013:
I have an "addictive" personality (my friends tell me). I become addicted to things very easily. Specifically TV shows. I become addicted to TV shows so easily and I don't know how or why. I can't really explain it at all. That's just how it is.
#37: March 6, 2013:
I am not very lady-like, especially during football or baseball. But randomly, all the time. Sometimes I fart, burp, swear, pick a wedgie, occasionally (very occasionally) pick my nose - yeah that's right, sometimes you have to, drink beer, love bacon, sweat like crazy, love lifting weights, laugh at inappropriate jokes - and even make them sometimes. And I poop - if you're one of those guys that don't think girls poop, get over it. I won't wait until you leave the house before I poop, and I don't expect you to do the same. You don't like all this? Too bad, some guy will. Take it or leave it - it's me!
#38: March 15, 2013:
I am scared to death of the health in my future. One set of grandparents - RIP - passed away from cancer. My grandfather had diabetes and pancreatic cancer, my grandmother had cancer three times: ovarian, stomach and everywhere. She was such a fighter. The other set both now have Alzheimer's Disease. It's at different stages for them - Grandma's is further alone than Papa's. Cancer on one side, "crazy" genes on the other. So what does that leave me with? How will my life play out? I've seen both diseases up close and am scared to death of both and what might happen. How can I avoid these?
#39: March 18, 2013:
You were the first, and well, so far, the only guy to tell me that I'm beautiful and you have no idea what that means to me. There are two sets of three words that any girl, well at least I will never get tired of hearing - "You are beautiful" and "I love you" and you said both today, one right after the other. This made me so incredibly happy, I kinda wanted to cry (happy tears, of course) but didn't want to ruin our skype date so I didn't. But THANK YOU. I love you.
#40: March 20, 2013:
When I get good (and bad) news I want to share it with you like immediately. I want you to be one of the first people to know. And I hope that you will react appropriately and will do the same when you get news. To me, that's one of the things that makes two people close in a relationship.

#21 - 30 Things My Future Husband Should Know About Me
#21 - 30 Things My Future Husband Should Know About Me
#21: February 7, 2013: Words
As a writer, words mean more to me than anything else. If you tell me something I believe it until you give me solid reason not to, and even then I still hold on sometimes. So please please please Don't ever lie to me intentionally, lies always hurt me more than the truth - and I'm tired of getting hurt by lies, it's happened far too often.
#22: February 9, 2013: Bacon (and ketchup)
I love bacon and I love ketchup. I try to use them in lots of things - Macaroni and cheese with bacon, with ketchup on top, eggs and bacon with ketchup. I love them - that's all.
#23: February 11, 2013: Go Yankees!
Yes, I am a Yankees fan. My Grandma and Grandpa Cobb raised me that way. I will always despise the Red Sox, and I laugh at them a lot lately. With this said, I despise A-Rod and will never like him no matter how many homeruns he hits for the Yankees. And I can, and do, root for other teams and some other players.
#24: February 14, 2013: Valentine's Day!
My view on Valentine's Day:
I don't care so much about huge plans just for Valentine's Day IF you show me how much you love me all year round (which you should do anyways) and I get random romantic moments all year. But this is definitely conditional on that if. And this doesn't mean that you can forget it all together - I still love hearing "Happy Valentine's Day."
This also doesn't mean that I won't give you anything. If you look back to #7, you will see that I love giving presents. :) So you will get something from me, guaranteed.
Addition:
My Grandpa Cobb will always be my favorite Valentine. You can come close to him, but I'm afraid no one will ever equal him. He was just simply the best.
#25: February 15, 2013: Cuddling
I love to cuddle. Especially in the cold winter. To me, there's nothing better than cuddling under a blanket, watching a movie. But I also understand that most men don't like to cuddle in the heat - I don't either, sometimes. So you give me cold weather cuddle and I'll give you hot weather.
#26: February 17, 2013: Why I'm Proud to be a Penn Stater
It's not the football team that makes me proud to be a PSU Alum. There are some years when they really suck. But it's their perseverance that makes me proud - they always survive and bounce back. It's definitely not the basketball team - they always suck. It's the fact that they never give up that makes me proud. In fact, it's not really athletics at all. It's the heart and soul that Penn Staters have. It's the fact that people like Joe Paterno donate the majority of their lives to help other people without wanting anything in return. (To me it is great to do things without expecting something in return, but even greater when you don't want anything - there's a difference to me.) It's the fighting spirit of the Nittany Lions - no matter what people say they keep on fighting and are always proud to be a Penn Stater. It's events like THON that make me the most proud. A forty-eight hour dance marathon -that's right dancers are on their feet for forty-eight hours! - a year long fund-raising effort to raise money for the Four Diamonds Fund which provides families with kids receiving cancer treatments at the Hershey Medical Center funds so the parents don't have to worry about finances while their kid is fighting cancer. THON is also the largest student run philanthropy in the world and has been going on since 1977 when it was started by one family who lost their son to pediatric cancer. This year THON raised $12, 374, 034. 46 - all going to the Four Diamonds Fund, and all this was done without being recognized in any of the national media circuits. THON is why I'm proud to be a Penn Stater, and always will be!

I have to admit I'm pretty disappointed from this morning ... (But you kind of made up for it the next day with the TWO phone calls and all the text messages :) )
#28: February 23, 2013:
I will fight for you if I have to. I hope that I don't have to, but I will. The phrase you joked about the other day: "He's mine. Back off bitch!" will be the nicest thing that I do. ;)
#29: February 24, 2013:
I don't expect you to be perfect, just perfect for me :) (Which so far, you are :) )
#30: February 25, 2013: Cooking
I'm not a great cook, but give me a recipe and the right ingredients and I can be a decent cook, sometimes even good. My family picks on me for "not being able to cook" but they don't know that there are some thingsthat I can make pretty darn well. And I can bake great!
