*the end of our summer*
Sometime in August, his mom won funcards to the Iowa State Fair. Now, for some of you, this may not be a big deal, but those midwestern-ers and Iowans out there will understand this a bit better. I'd never been to the State Fair, and I'd always wanted to go. I'd grown up watching it on IPTV (Iowa Public Television) wishing to enter the talent show, go to one of the concerts, see the butter cow-all of it. So when his mom called my mom asking if it was okay if I could go, you can bet I was ecstatic. We would go Friday, August 13th. We'd be missing the last day of band camp, but it was worth it. All the ride up there, I sat in the middle in their family suburban next to him. Behind us was Tori, his little sister, and her friend. Up front was his mom and Levi. His dad was at work so he was unable to tag along. The entire time, Levi had CDs going and somehow I fell asleep right on his shoulder. He didn't mind. Once we got there, him, Levi and I branched off on our own. I watched them play games and then we went on random rides. We got stuck at the top of the Ferris Wheel where I had my first make-out session (: We held hands and kissed all day and explored. I took tons of pictures and we rode the skyline and he told me his favorite time was when it was dark and the stars were out. He says I was beautiful and a lot better than her-his ex. We talked about random things and he jumped up and down with me when I got a text that my cousin had her baby. On the way home, he told me when lightning strikes and a couple is kissing, it means they're meant to be together. All the way home it stormed and we kissed.
This was the day I fell in love.
