Well, it all started in the 4th grade (no joke!) the skatin rink days. LOL! Cody asked me to "couple skate", my response was "me couple skate with YOU ?! PSHHH yeah right"
Both my sister's & my dad knew his family. In 6th grade I started going to Grawood Baptist Church, much to my surprise that redheaded dorky kid that asked me to couple skate with him was there, & in my sunday school class. Ok, He was KINDA cute :) He was soo funny & we quickly became friends, of course that's all I thought it was. We didn't go to the same school so I only saw him at church events, & you bet I was at every single one. hahah !! All of middle school he had a "girlfriend" but that was okay bc he wasn't really my type anyways in 8th grade my boyfriend was in 10th grade. :/ ( I WAS DUMB!) Towards the end of the summer eigth grade year everyone was asking everyone what school they were going to next year, mainly everyone said Byrd, except me & except Cody :) We both said Southwood. My heart skipped a beat. I was sooo excited.
Well I didn't get into Southwood right away so I went a week late, I saw Cody in the hallway on my way to choir & he was coming from drumline. He acted like he was going to stop & talk to me, but I basically ran past him. haha.
September came around & it was time for HOMECOMING ! We were talking about homecoming in sunday school & our teacher asked everyone if they had a date, me & cody both said no..(he had a gf) our SS teacher said we should go together, Cody automatically said NO! I was soo crushed bc I was going to ask him. I ended up going with a SENIOR & it was the WORST night of my life, I wanted to be there with Cody. Let me go ahead & tell you this entire time the only people who knew I liked him was my mom,sister & my best friend Christine. Well, some how around November Cody found out I liked him, come to find out my sister bowls with his uncle & told him "all my sister talks about is your nephew" I was soo embarrassed bc I knew there was NO WAY he'd ever like me. We were BEST FRIENDS. We even had BFF necklaces, LOL!!!!
Somtime in December we went iceskating in Marshall with our SS class. Cody rode in the same car I did, on the way home we held hands. I walked up to Cody at school & handed him a piece of paper I wrote the lyrics to "True" on my Ryan Cabrera (SP?!) & Walked off. That day one of our friends asked Cody (IN FRONT OF ME!) "What would you do if Katy kissed you ?" I RAN OFF I WAS SOOO EMBARRASSED! After the next class, in front of the stairwell, in front of the student center at Southwood High School, Cody grabbed my face & kissed me. My whole world stopped & it was like it was just us. From that kiss, I KNEW I was going to marry him. He ended up inviting me to the PBR rodeo with his family that night. He fed me chocolate icecream.. I HATE chocolate icecream but that was the best I'd ever had :) When his parents dropped me off Cody kissed me at the door. I was soo happy. Cody played drums for the youth band so sunday night at church JANUARY 9, 2005 (6 years ago TODAY!) I handed him a note telling him that if he was leading me on I really wanted it to stop & I said are we going to go out or not. bc I was getting tired of this.
January 10, 2005 at school Cody walked up to me & said Yes & No and that's it. Tears filled my eyes & I walked away. I cried alll day at school & didn't talk to Cody. He called me 5 times that night & I ignored it. The last time he called I answered. He asked me what was wrong & I told him I didn't want to talk to him. He said welll aren't we dating ?! I was soo confused. I mixed up his order, he meant NO HE WASN'T LEADING ME ON & YES HE WANTED TO GO OUT WITH ME..So he asked me out ! I said YES ! :) We dated all thru highschool & never broke up. Our senior year on my 18th birthday Cody Loftin proposed to me in front of our entire families :) It was magical, & of course I said yes !
We planned to get married September 25, 2o08. Two months after graduation we found out I was pregnant, but that's a whole different story, so we decided to move the wedding back to December 20, 2008. ( MY MOM'S BDAY) bc I didn't want to be "oddly" pregnant when we got married ( i know total opposite) ALOT of people, ALOT OF DUMB PEOPLE think that Cody & I got married because I was pregnant, but NO WE DIDNT ! We had been engaged a year & got married bc we loved eachother & I wanted to be his wife.
There's SOO much more & I'm sure I've missed alot but that's us. <3
