As you guys know, I started dating Kevin a little bit over 6 months ago. We met on Yahoo Peersonals and hit it off right from the begining. This have just been getting better and better between us. The more time we spend together the better it gets. I love going over to his house, well his parents and spending time over there. Kevin is a corrections officer and works 4.5 hours away from home, so until he gets transfered which should be in the next few months he is living with his parents. I can't wait for him to get his own place, that would mean we would finally have some privacy.

I would say the last 3 or 4 weeks I have really been thinking about telling him that I loved him. This being my first realtionship I was scared. I thought that maybe it was to early to say anything to him. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if I told him and he didn't respond? One of my good friends said that I should just go ahead and say it, because she pretty much knew how he felt about me, the way I talk about him, everything he does for me. I came very close to telling him about 2.5 weeks ago but I chickened out..

Well 2 weeks ago, he was on his way to work (4.5 hours) and he called me. He says talking to me for a little while makes his drive go faster. We talked about various things for about a half hour. Then he said that there is something that he needed to tell me, that he has been thinking about for a while. He told me that he loved me, of course I told him that i loved him too. He said he has never been this happy, and that he doesn't want anyone else.

Do you know how great it was to hear him say that. That the feelings that I had for him, and what i thought he felt for me were the same.

I just thought that I would give you a quick update on what has been going on with me. I hope all is well with everyone.
