How’re my long distance girls doing??
Anybody on top of any exciting count downs??? When do you see your SO next?
J and I are in the middle of a blissful (well, realistic, but still AMAZING) 7 weeks together. Today is actually the mid point, but he keeps telling me we’re not counting 😉
I’m so excited – he’s planning a weekend trip to NYC the weekend after next, and a long weekend at a cottage on the beach the weekend after that (V-Day)!! I think he might (finally) propose on VDay! Yay!!!

haha, yeah, our situation is a little… unique. I bet you don’t have to do 6 months between visits though, huh? 🙂 At least the next one won’t be so bad – just 4ish months!

haha, well, let’s just say even though we’re both stateside, our longest between visits has been almost 10 months. plane tickets are expensive no matter how you slice it!

I’m lucky, it’s 3 days 😀 My turn to get the train to his after a long day at work on a saturday. Still 24 hours together will be better than none 😀

10 months!? Man, I’d get on a frickin’ greyhound before going that long if I could, hahaha…
Enjoy your visit, tea 🙂
ETA: @gingerlex – sorry, must’ve overlapped posts 🙂 Yay! three days!! Short is better than nothing, right?

Fiance is back on Feb 8th after almost 5 months in Chad in Africa – it has felt like FOREVER – I almost wonder what it will be like, it’s been so long! Since he left I’ve moved into our house where he’s never lived (we’ve never lived together) I absolutely and totally cannot wait…way too long to go without hugs and kisses! I don’t know how you all do it for longer!
Hang in there fellow LDRs!

@anamcara – oh, I had a breakdown around 4 1/2 months. 🙂 Apparently that’s normal. I went crazy and cried for days (okay, not straight, but def. on and off) and posted like a million sad posts on here, and tried to convince myself we’d be better off not in a relationship at all.
Thank goodness that didn’t stick!

@daydreamwanderer – I totally see how that’s possible. I feel like I’m running on the last of the fumes that will get me to Feb 8th. So many people have said things like – that went by SO fast! And my response is – maybe for you it did!!! Honestly – I feel like I haven’t seen him in 2 years… Thank goodness it’s almost over!

@ddw, yeah, but there were some extenuating family health issues i had to deal with that kept me here and would have been hard to plan for him to come out. it was a weird time for all of us.
but i’m looking forward to this visit. i gotta plan my next trip out to see him too.

@anam – YES!!! The last 3 weeks were horrible! It was the end of December and everything was craaaaazy busy with Christmas stuff, and people kept being like, “OMW I can’t believe how fast time is going!” and I would just stare at them, because I couldn’t be like, “it’s all about me!!!” hahahahah…..
I promise the wait is worth it though!!!!

I haven’t seen him since October 17th. I won’t get to see him until some time in May (with luck it will be that soon), but then I get to have him ALL SUMMER. SQUEE!!! I just have to make it until May.

I’ll be seeing my SO hopefully V-weekend, but no definitive plans have been made yet…..last time we saw each other was MLK weekend. I don’t know how some of you bees do it not seeing your SO for months on end! The longest we have ever gone was a little over 2 months and that was complete torture!
