Cory and I met July 3, 2009. I was 18 and terrified of commitment! My previous relationship lasted 2 weeks because relationships freaked me out. I didn't know how to act, say, do, anything.
I was living in Minnesota at the time, I went to Kansas to visit my sister. I had every intention to date, I had no idea it was going to be exclusive.
There was a YSA (young single adults) slip n' slide party that my friend and I attended. Cory and I were drawn to each other the entire time. That night he asked me to be his girl friend and marry him. Little did I know that our little joke was soon to be reality. We talked pretty much the whole night. He invited me to the 4th of July party the next day, when I told him I didn't have a car, he offered to drive an hour out of the way to pick me up, just to drive and hour right back. So I agreed.
It rained that 4th of July, but that didn't dampen our spirits. We danced in the rain, and talked for hours soaked to the bone. Cory made plans for me to stay at a friends house over night. The next day was Sunday. Cory told me he liked me. Usually that was enough to send me running the opposite direction, vowing never to talk to that person again. But I found myself wanting this to work. At least till I went back to Minnesota. Then I never had to see him again.
A week later, we started dating.
I was falling in love with him. The last thing I thought would happen. I wanted to be with him all the time. My heart literally ached when he left. I didn't know what to do with myself when we was away.
Our relationship proceeded to go very fast. We got engaged two months after that, and were married three months later. We have been married about 2-1/2 years and my heart still hurts every morning when he kisses me goodbye to head off to work.
