My boyfriend often does kind things for me. He treats me like a lady. He carries me to the bathroom in the middle of the night when I'm ill. He cuddles me as though nothing else will ever be as important as that moment. He brings me cold water or walks over a mile in the heat of an Atlanta summer to get me fresh fruit - without me even asking. He's one of the sweetest, most patient people I know, and a great listener. He'll spend nearly two hours on public transit most weekdays just to see me for dinner. He lent me $300 for a corset, and waited patiently without mention or complaint until I paid it back in installments. He laughs with me, and tells me I'm beautiful even with a tear-streaked face and puffy eyes. Once, he peeled almost an entire bag of grapes for me, and brought them to school the next day, just because I mentioned once that grapes would be one of my favorite fruits if they didn't have that skin. He respects my wishes to keep V-day and anniversaries just like any other day: I believe that instead, people should strive to honor their partner
every day, and he joins me in doing so.
Last night, my George outdid himself. Usually, he cooks for me, but last night, he went all out and made three different kinds of snapper:
There were other things, too (notably, honeyed apples and fresh strawberries arranged into a smiley face!) but I was a bit too distracted eating and thanking him to get pictures.
More political rants coming around 8/8 or shortly thereafter.
Apologies, but chem is very time-consuming!

I would normally say to someone they lucked out in finding their partner, but it seems from what bits and pieces I gather from your xanga that you're just as much a catch as he. It makes me happy when two people like that find each other. Glad you had a great evening together.
He sounds incredible.
I'm so glad you've found such a great man. The dinner looks absolutely delicious.
I completely agree with you about the anniversaries / Valentine's day thought. My boyfriend and I would treat V-Day like any other day, but it happens to be my birthday. XD Whoops.
I love corsets, but jeeze they are so expensive! Coincidentally enough, my boyfriend Joe bought me a beautiful corset last Christmas.
Its nice to read a entry about something positive about someone's partner. Lately there's too much grief that no one celebrates the good stuff.
Clearly, George is convinced he has something of equally precious value in you.
Aw, I'm so happy for you and George, you two seem to have a wonderful relationship. It is always nice to see that some other people still appreciate their significant other for everything.
I could only hope to find a girlfriend that is only half as appreciative as you are of your boyfriend.
i see english characters, which is good, because otherwise i couldn't have read the beautiful blog. yay for both of you!
@Gerald_Washington - I'm sure that, if you managed to treat a girl as well as my boyfriend treats me, she would certainly be at least as grateful as I am.
And if she didn't, she's not suitable for friendship, much less a relationship.
@bittersunday - I saw that picture on your site, actually, though I think I was skimming through and didn't realize it was a gift from your Joe. It looks amazing! I need to take pictures of mine sometime.
I am so dumb... I have had a busy week so far, I meant to come tell you I thought the pic of yalls hands is beautiful.( & yes I said yall.. I am Texan ;) I also wonder ..I would love to chat with you sometime soon. Tooltes Kris

and he probably sees himself as the ultra-lucky guy too :D
all the bestt xx
your dinner looks delicious.
the photo of the two of you holding hands is beautiful.
Awww!
"People should strive to honor their partner every day." I agree 100%. Brandon and I do celebrate our anniversary and V-Day though. (V-Day because he wants to. I don't care so much, but if it makes him happy, why not?) Money is tight, and both are good excuses to be a little irresponsible with finances, especially considering I don't celebrate Christmas (minus his and my families, but there isn't any getting out of it) and refuse to exchange gifts with him. He respects that.
"He laughs with me, and tells me I'm beautiful even with a tear-streaked face and puffy eyes." Moments like that make me think how blind love can be, and they make me think how lucky I am to have someone who does the same.
as he should...
@SwordAndSacrifice - Agreed.
That is a gorgeous dinner. What a lovely thing to do.
Oh, and you're not old in any sense of the word. If you are, I'm, like, ancient
Hey there, I've been noticing your comments on Revelife for awhile and thought I'd stop by your site. Your boyfriend sounds wonderful! And I agree, Valentine's a bit over rated. My boyfriend's more of a romantic than I am though, so I just use the day as an excuse to dress up.
Your post below--if you think you're old at 19, wait til you hit 22. I wish I could've stopped aging after 21, ha.That is adorable :)
Your boyfriend sounds amazing!
Uber props to him!
I love people like you who spread the importance of love<3
It must be a George thing -- that's my boyfriends name, too, and I find him doing many of the same things as your George does. Though, I must admit, that peeling grapes thing was amazing -- I can't believe he actually did that.
The dinner looks delish!
The two of you compose such a vivid illustration of love. It's good to know that happy, healthy relationships exist after all. As they say, happiness is contagious. :)
So touching....
God Bless You Both !
That snapper looks awesome!!! Well done to george
I just love the picture with your hand holding your boyfriends.
