The end of LDR

And now, I'm stuck back in Houston...... for six more weeks of clinic. There are other things I'd much rather be doing (like back in Tampa with G), but I know I'm only away from him now for another eight weeks. And, it's the last eight weeks we ever have to spend apart, AGAIN!!! Whoo hoo !!!

I'm SO excited to finally be nearing the end of my long distance relationship. We've been together almost seven years, four of which have been apart. There were times I and a VERY select few friends ( like um.. two of them) were the only ones who thought we could make it four whole years apart. There were definite ups and downs, there were disagreements (we don't usually delve into fighting), there was loneliness on both parts, there was reunion, there was vacation, and there were the few quiet moments we got to spend alone. I remember one stretch we had to go seven months without seeing each other (he was stationed on a project in Calgary). It was wretched. At times I think even my own mother didn't think we'd make it based on some of the comments she made along the way. But, she's finally seen how committed we are to each other and to making "us" work. And, we did it. Four years later, we'll be back together in eight short weeks. We're taking two blissful weeks to tour Paris and Rome ... together.

After that, good luck getting us apart again......
