Long Distance Relationships

Nathan and I are approaching that apex of time in which we have been separated for almost as long as we have been dating. So many things in our lives have changed without us being able to see one another. He is busy with boot camp, while I am busy with life in the fast lane. We talk daily, but it really isn't the same. Honestly, how much can a girl enjoy a conversation about shooting guns and shining boots? Honestly...I ask you...lol

We do our best to fill in the gaps of what we're missing in each others lives, such as sending candy or flowers, notes, plane tickets, etc...but no matter how you slice it, long distance is a drag.

There is one little bright light, however, that makes everything a wee bit better. That is, the more I go on with life as usual without my favorite man in the universe, the more I see that nobody else is cut out to make me the happiest. Nobody else ever has been or ever will be as far as I can tell. And I am not just saying that. More and more as I develop frienships with classmates and coworkers and others this semester, especially those of the opposite gender, or as I reflect on past relationships, I see how I connect with others and how, more importantly, I don't connect at all. Most of the time the people I know disagree with me religiously or politically, which is OK at work or school, but not when I come home. Occasionally, people just disagree with my personality. That definetly is not OK. I take a cold hard stare and the presence of such realities, and then I think of my wonderful boyfriend, who just one day appeared out of nowhere to love everything about me, support me, and believe in not only my causes, but mostly my raw potential- which he thinks is "gorgeous." How could anyone else compare?!

Nate Miller...this one's for you!
(play song 49) I love you!!
