So things between Brent and I are just amazing...and I'm not knocking any of my past relationships, because they all had their great moments too (most of them)...but what I felt for people in the past, or at least what I THOUGHT I felt for people in the past and what I feel between us is so different. We see each other almost every night (except now that it's becoming planting time, Brent has to work in the fields after work...oh well)...
And we find fun doing the most un-fun things in the whole world...like yesterday, he picked me up from work and after the mall and dinner, we stopped at this random park by my place, and started walking around...then we saw a stream in the middle of it, so we took off our socks and shoes and spent a good 20 minutes trying to see who could get from one spot to another the quickest...then we climbed a willow tree, and Brent started swinging from a branch, so I hopped down and tried to pants him, but ended up sliding and falling in the mud. Then we realized it was getting dark/colder out (he was in his work clothes still, I was in jeans and a tshirt), so we tried to take a shortcut back by climbing a hill...which was cool till about half way up...where the leaves became slippery and I kept sliding back down...it made for a muddy and fun time.
On Sunday we drove down to Coatsworth for Easter (he wanted to meet my family), where he not only amazed my mom and dad, but my sister and her boyfriend as well. When we first got their, I went into the basement to to wrap Kelseys birthday present, and she came running downstairs going "OMG HES SO HOT" over and over, which was funny. My dad and Brent hit it off good-half the time I would be outside waiting for him to come back from getting a drink/more food, and he would be gone for 30 minutes sitting at the table with my dad, deep into a conversation about farming or something. He brought some maple syrup from his farm for mom and dad, and they loved it...my mom kept saying all day/night long "He's a keeper Candice"...and then on the phone, she went on and on about how much she lieks him and how good she thinks we are together because we have the same personalities and sence of humour and love the same things...which made me feel really good!
We have all these plans set for the summer-camping, fishing, road trips, bbqs...I can't wait. I love having a non-long distance relationship for once (and one that is constant non-long distance)...because it allows me to be more connected to the person, I can see them more, do more with them....and it's just a wonderful feeling!
I am just so fricken happy right now!
Woooo!
