A few months later...

As you can tell I have a lot of spare time today, because I'm cranking out two blogs in one day!!  That typically seems like how I go.  I don't post a blog for a while, because I'm super busy, and then I decide to have a massive update.  I figured that I hadn't really talked too much about Cody and I since I made my last blog about us starting to date... so I figured that I'd make a quick update.  :)



 This summer Cody and I went to a bunch of country concerts =)  This is the Brad Paisley concert.  It was the first concert that we went to at the Indian's stadium. Unfortunately Cody and I went to a lot of concerts at Blossom and they don't allow you to bring in cameras... so I don't have any pictures from there =( 


 But this is pretty much how Cody dealt with being dragged to all of the country concerts we went to haha!!  I told him that he should make this profile picture, but he decided to put up one of us instead =)


 I wish I could figure out how to turn this picture on here... but alas, I'm not sure how... so you, faithful blog reader, will just have to turn your head sideways to look at it.  This is still at the concert... I stole his hat haha.


Here we are back at the Indian's stadium.  This time we were at an Indian's game.  We actually came with Hannah and Kyle, but we didn't take too many pictures while we were there.  This game we were right almost at the top of the stadium in right field!  I have to say they were probably some of the worst seats I've ever had, but we still all had fun.  The game was absolutely packed, and I think any game like that is usually fun.  After the game we went to hang out at Razzles for a little while with Hannah and Kyle.  I was happy to get to hang out with Hannah and Kyle... it feels weird to me that Cody and I haven't really been able to spend that much time with them.  We are going to have to figure out a way to spend some more time together soon.  It's just so hard with us all growing up, and doing different things.  I guess I might have to bite the bullet and go to some haunted houses this year!  Yikes!!  I know that Cody really wants to go to one... and I know Hannah and Kyle want us to go with them.


 This day at Cedar Point we finally got to hang out with Hannah, and my little buddy Sam!!  =)  We were at Cedar Point all day long which is always fun.  It was a great day to be in the park.  The lines were really short!!  We got Sam to go on the green Power Tower, and Maverick for the first time!!  I think that Maverick is Cody and Sam's new favorite ride.  I know every time we go to Cedar Point Cody loves it.


 I think that Windseeker was the longest line that we stood in all day.  It took forever to get on it, and honestly it's not really worth it.  I'm kind of disappointed in Cedar Point.  It seems like they haven't had a really good attraction in quite sometime now.


Here we all are in front of the Raptor again.  I'm hoping that we are all going to get to go again during Halloweekends.  I like Cedar Point during Halloweekends it's pretty fun.  =)  I wanted to go again this weekend with Cody, but it looks like it's going to rain.  So we are probably going to look at apartments for him to move into.  I think that my apartment has inspired him to move into his own place.  We were thinking about moving in together once I get out of school, but he doesn't really want to wait that long to get a new place.  We've been out looking at different places that he might want to move into.  We've found some pretty nice places, but I don't think we've found THE place yet.  Hopefully we'll be more successful this weekend.  =)


This was during our first trip to New York in his home town.  Cody got to show me around his hometown and introduce me to his family and friends.  This is a picture of Cody and I with his cute little niece Kelsie.  Cody actually drove to New York a couple of days before I was able to get there, and after a ton of hassle from the airlines I was able to make it into New York!!  We were worried I wouldn't be able to make it at all.  But anyways, while he was there early, his niece told him that she wasn't going to like me at all.  Of course that all changed... as you notice in the picture she is hugging ME... not Cody hehe.  Cody was a little bit jealous, but it was really cute... she's such a little sweet heart.  We're really excited for his family to come up at the end of October, and get to hang out with us. 


 This is Cody, his mom, and his doggie Lucy.  It was funny when Cody first told me his mom's name, because she has the same name as my mom.  That certainly makes it easy to remember!!  =)  The couple of times that we've gone to New York we've stayed at Cody's mom's house.  She actually came and stayed with Cody not too long ago, and my parents had a cookout and they got to meet each other.  Sadly, that was the same weekend that I was moving out to BG so I was a bit scatter brained, and trying to pack everything up that week!


Here we are at my favorite concert of the summer!  Wow can Taylor Swift put on a show!!  I really enjoyed it.  I could tell that it wasn't really Cody's cup of tea, but what was really nice this summer was that even though Cody wasn't into the concerts we were at we were still able to enjoy them and have fun together.  Which is really important.  I'm glad that we are able to get along together so well and have fun together.  =)

 I just had to throw this picture in here!!  This was the way that Taylor Swift ended her concert!  She went up in a balcony, and sang to the upper decks!  It was really really cool.  I've never seen anyone do that before!!  It was definitely an unique concert, and I'm glad that I got to go to it!


Ahhh!  Here we are at the Corn Fest!  This was step one of Cody's official initiation.  Step two was playing cornhole with my dad and his buddies, and then step three was coming to all of the Ranger football games with us.  I think my uncle and my dad might like Cody more than me!!  Haha nahhh I still like him more, but they are fond of him.  I'm glad that he fits in so well with them, and that he can have fun at our family gatherings.  I wish that he could come to a real family function like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter... but this Thanksgiving we are going to be in Las Vegas!!  (Yippee), and I have a feeling he'll want to go home during Christmas and Easter, but I guess we shall see!!

Here we are at in the beer tent at the Corn Festival.  I think this was Cody's favorite part of the festival.  I think that Cody is the first person that I've dated that has drank before... and it's definitely interesting...


Here we are on our second trip to New York for Cody's buddy's wedding.  Getting to and from New York was intense on this trip, because there had been a lot of flooding in New York, and  a lot of roads were shut down!  Luckily the first night we travelled we stayed at the Casino in PA.  =)  We had a fun of ton there!!  Cody gets free rooms there Mondays - Thursdays so we were able to stay there for free, and we got to gamble and have a fun time there.  I really enjoyed it.  Then the next day we were fresh and ready to make the journey into New York.  It took us forever to get to his mom's house!!  But we made it there on time!!  =)  Our trip to New York was pretty good.  We had a pretty good time at the wedding, but Cody kinda drank a little bit too much!  We had a scare that his doggie had died that weekend, and he was pretty upset about it... so that kinda put a damper on our weekend.  But luckily they found her a couple of days later!  =)


 Here we are at the wedding with our "New York Couple"  Brianne and Brandon.  It seems like every time we've gone to New York we've mostly hung out with them, and some other people.  Cody showed off his "dancing" skills at the wedding... ha ha ha...  I was kind of afraid to take him to the dancing clubs when he came up to BG with Hannah, Steph, Kyle, and I after that!  Haha!  I'm just picking on it him.  We had a lot of fun when we all went out in BG, and we showed Cody around to the different areas in BG.  I know we had a lot of fun this past weekend when he came up for the long weekend.  We were able to just hang out and relax all weekend long.  And of course he was able to fix the various things that I had wrong with my apartment that I haven't gotten to yet ( I did set up my computer chair all by myself last week which I was really proud of myself for)!!  I cooked a ton while he was here this weekend.  I'm pretty proud of my improving cooking skills.  I made a full roasted chicken with stuffing stuffed inside of it, mashed potatoes, carrots, asparagus (which Cody didn't like).  The next day I made home made chicken noodle soup.  Then Cody and I made meatloaf the next day which went over really well.  We certainly didn't go hungry!!  I have a ton of left overs.  It's nice not to have to cook for a while now.  =)


So there is your couple months of updates as to what we've been up to.  I'm sure we've done a lot of other things that I didn't think to mention.  We've been spending quite a bit of time together since we started dating, and now that I've come back to school we've seen each other every weekend.  It's been going really well so far, and I'm very happy.  =)
