Today has been one of the most amazing days of my life. Seriously, amazing. I know I am gushing, and I'm probably losing readers at my cheesiness and constant swooning over Cy. I just can't help it though! I have never, ever felt like this before and it's the most unbelievable feeling in the world. I know now what people were talking about when they first fell in love. I cannot believe I doubted them.
First we woke up and headed to church. Mass, to be exact. I am not Catholic but Cy is. He asked me if I wanted to go with him and I just couldn't resist. I have always wanted to see what a Catholic Mass was like and I have always wanted a guy that is religious and regularly goes to church. We went and yes, I felt uncomfortable and awkward but it felt good too because we were there together.
After that we headed 30 miles north to my alma mater and his, Iowa State University. We spent the day walking around campus reminiscing and five years after graduating I became a true coed.
At ISU when you kiss your boyfriend or girlfriend underneath the Campanile on campus you are truly a college coed, or so the story goes... ;)
When I was there I didn't get the chance to do this because, well... I was dating a jerk! Cy and I rectified this today. A few times. :)
After that we headed to Great Plains, which is a local pizza place that has the BEST pizza in the world. This pizza is so cheesy and yummy, you will want it all the time! Once you have finished your slice and just have the crust left there is honey for you to dip the crust in, and ohmygod it's so delicious!
After that we hit up the bookstores (yes, plural) and bought some goodies for ourselves (maybe just me) and some things for friends. I bought a cute long sleeved ISU tee-shirt and a dog collar for Zeke and Cy bought a coffeemug for his dad and a keychain for his good friend who's going through a bit of a rough patch.
After that we went for a drink at Legends, which is a local sports bar and grill. This one is new to the campus in the past five years, in fact there are so many new features to the campus since I have been there. It's awesome! This Legends is on the top floor of a seven story building with amazing views of the campus, here is where we sat!
Then we headed to Hilton Coliseum to take in the ISU vs Chicago State mens basketball game. We won! Sadly, this was my first basketball game ever. I did not attend a single game when I was an undergrad, which is shocking to Cy and his friends. It's Cy's favorite place on Earth inside of Hilton and he was positively giddy. The smile on his face was so darn adorable, I couldn't stop giggling at him!
So, that is my amazing day in pictures. How was your Sunday? What's your favorite way to spend the day of rest?
