Boyfriend. Significant other. The guy in my life. I have hardly blogged about him, but I don't want him to read this and think he's not important because he's not mentioned :) He is important, I was just unsure of how to start tossing his name in.

We've been dating for about 5 weeks now. It started how a bunch of relationships do; he kept talking to me at kyds. At first, I was like whatev, but eventually I couldn't stop thinking about him. My wingwoman Kayla came with me to the guys house a few times so I could chat more with him (and, lets be honest, his friends, because I was a little nervous to talk to just him. Thanks K). One Sunday night, I texted him to ask if anything was going on, and that must have been the push he needed, because for the next two weeks, he kept texting until finally he mentioned the d word. Our first date included a bonfire, a guitar, Mountain Dew, and marshmallows. It lasted late into the night, and I couldn't wait to see him the next night.

Since then, I've been out where he lives most every weekend. This past one, however, we went to the UP. I met the fam. Eek. I was only a little nervous, because my parents and his are pretty good friends, and I had heard many nice things about the whole family. Everything I had heard was true- they were so genuinely kind and fun! Little Ava even asked if I could come to her house sometime :) Mark and I had a blast up there, four wheeling, hanging with his friends and family, jamming on guitar, shooting a 22.... I wouldn't mind going again sometime soon.

He has met my family, and is getting to know my girl friends (they seem to approve). It's been an exciting and crazy five weeks, and I hope it continues.
