Thank God he's a country boy!

Well I made it back from Florida yesterday and am hanging out in Phoenix for a couple days with my family before heading back up to Flag. Florida was one of the craziest weeks of my life because of a boy named Trey Cooper. I have never met anyone like Trey. He treated me with so much love and respect that it completely blew my mind. Never has anyone told me the things he told me. He saw in me things that I've always wished someone would notice. He's a little rough around the edges, and a complete dork, but we had an amazing time together. The first day he picked me up from the airport he took me to 4 different beaches. I could tell right away that he liked me and I fought it as hard as I could. He took me out to a sushi buffet and his fortune read "you will have a great adventure today" and then I showed him mine. It said, "Trust him, but keep your eyes open." I'm not one to believe a little piece of paper that came out of a cookie, but it did seem pretty fitting. But I still didn't know what I felt about this guy yet and wanted to be careful. The next day though I couldn't fight it anymore. I gave in and we started to develop feelings for each other. We were together the whole trip and it didn't take until about the second or third day for him to kiss me. We took long walks on the beach at night, sat and talked while watching the tide roll in, and I experienced romance that just doesn't exist anymore. After the Josh Turner concert we walked back through the amusement park and since there were so many people we dodged off to the side to wait. We ended up finding a lake with lights strung all across the side and John Mayer was coming out of a random speaker so we stayed and danced there with the music. It was incredible. He didn't pressure me physically (which was new to me) and completely respected everything about me. He told me I was beautiful more times than I can even count, and made me feel like I was amazing and important. I'm still trying to take in everything. Words really can't even express what I experienced last week. I don't even know what it was. It still overwhelms me to try and put together my feelings and emotions. And then, just like that, it was gone. I had to leave and now it feels like a dream. I feel like I'm texting a boy that doesn't really exist. But what can we do? He lives in Florida and loves it. I'm just starting the nursing program in Arizona. Plus, it would be completely insane for either of us to move after just a week of knowing each other. I'm just blown away by this boy. I feel lucky to at least have experienced that for a week, even if that's all it ends up being. He promised me we'll see each other again so at this point we're just kind of taking things as they come.

Forever and Always
