Today, I went to Macy's. I ended up spending $88 on the new COACH cologne that just came out. Why? Because my boyfriend mentioned that it smelled really nice, but was super expensive. Very true. The bottle is 3.3 oz. and $82 plus tax. So it comes out to being $88. But you get a free COACH umbrella, with the purchase. And I figured since he's going to be here for 8-months, I want him to smell really nice. And I thought the COACH cologne smelled FANTASTIC. It was hard for me to resist. And it smells A LOT better than the "Axe: Black Chill" body spray he was using. So it works out for both of us. Plus, I'm keeping the COACH umbrella.
He was happy that I got him the COACH cologne. But he was also sad, because he knows how expensive it is. He felt guilty about me buying it for him. In fact... He's NEVER once asked me to buy him anything. He's NEVER hinted at me buying him anything. He mentioned the COACH cologne smelled nice, yes. But he wasn't subtly sending me signs to buy it for him. He truly is a wonderful man. And he deserves to feel appreciated and loved. He's my everything.
I promise I'll do everything in my power to keep you happy. I would destroy myself before ever destroying you.
I've seen Steven's grandparents, on video call, a few times. They'll randomly come into his bedroom, or he'll be eating in the kitchen. And every time I see his grandmother, she's wearing a small black hat. Last night, she came into the bedroom and grabbed a plastic bag. Then quickly left. I saw the black hat again. I decided to ask Steven about it. Apparently, his grandparents are Mennonite. And the women are required to wear those tiny black hats. Steven, on the other hand, isn't Mennonite; He's Christian. Now things are starting to make some sense. When he was here, he said his family is modern-Amish. And they had a lot of rules to follow: You can't wear clothing with logos, you can't date until after you're married, no physical contact until MONTHS after you're married, no body modifications, no drinking / smoking / drugs, etc. etc. - And now I understand what he meant. Obviously, he wears clothes with logos. He doesn't mind my body modifications. We're both straight edge. We're dating and not married. We've had physical contact. And his grandparents are okay with it. I mean... They don't know that we've had sex. They'd probably be very disappointed if they found out, since we're not married. But they know all about me. They know what I look like. They know we've kissed, cuddled, held hands, etc. etc. - And Steven said that IF I can visit him, for his birthday, that we can sleep on the same bed. So it doesn't seem like their Mennonite religion is forced onto him. Which is great. But most of his family is Mennonite, it seems. I thought it was pretty interesting to learn more about his family. Especially since I'd love to be a part of his family, one day.
