My boy!

Hey, so I just feel the need to brag on my boyfriend for a hot second.

The two of just went on vacation with his mom and her girlfriend and it was honestly the best. His family has a little cottage in upstate NY on Cayuga lake and I am obsessed. (It was built in the late 1800’s and remodeled like 30 years ago, but it doesn’t have a shower or bath or anything. You get a bar of soap and the lake. (Kinda love it 😂)

I’m kind of a mess when it comes to crowds and I’m not the most comfortable around his mom’s girlfriend, so I was a little panicky, but he took care of me and helped me with my bags and made sure I had everything I needed and was so kind to me. I was really sleepy on the plane so he just held me and let me sleep on the way there.

We finally got to the cottage and he was such a cutie. We were both exhausted (did I mention we had to leave home around 3:30 am?) so we napped most of the first day. I woke up before him and we found we were alone and he asked if I wanted to do anything (😉) but I didn’t and so we just laid in bed and cuddled and kissed for a while and it was so amazing!!

We went hiking the next day and he was being a gentleman and helping me climb rocks and making sure I was okay the whole time (even though I’ve done a lot more hiking than him). He even made sure to take a bunch of really nice pics of me, which I appreciated 😂 And he didn’t get annoyed when I wanted to take pictures of all the pretty scenery.

I had been begging to go swimming the past two days, so the first thing we did when we got back to the cottage was swim. He and I goofed around on the dock for a while until he picked me up and dove into the water with me ☺️☺️

We swam for an hour and were silly until his aunt put the boat in the water and we tubed and I water skied! It was so much fun!!

I have a really bad back and knees, though, due to some health problems (I accidentally iron poisoned myself...) so he was all worried about me when I was done and rubbing my back and making sure I was taking the rest of the day easy.

That night got really cold, down in the 50’s, I think. And we are both Floridians, so we were freezing 😂 We built a bin fire on the lake a roasted s’mores but he was saying stuff like “don’t get too close” “please be careful” “do you need my other jacket” “I really don’t want you getting too cold/sick out here”. It made me feel so loved.

After getting too cold, we went inside and played cards for a while. He kept beating me and I kept getting mad and demanding we play a different game. (I won like... 2 of the 100 games we played). I finally gave up and we went to bed.

Last day, my baby woke me up and we got dressed and drove like 4 hours to Niagara Falls!! There was a lot of walking around involved and he was being so sweet and making sure I was okay and that my knees or back weren’t hurting me. Plus, he was being all cute and having me pose so he could take pictures of me.

Honestly, my baby isn’t the most affectionate, especially not in public, but on this trip, he was being so kind and doing the smallest things that just meant the world to me. I left a lot of little details out, but I just wanted to brag on him. I honestly love him so much. We have been together 2 years on the 16th, and it’s not always perfect, but this trip reminded me how lucky I am to have this beautiful man in my life.
