Long Distance Relationships

Re: I know...I can't believe it is only 3 days!

Hugs Raina!:rose:

Have you reached the stage where you begin to fee "numb"? I think that started to happen to me at this point in the countdown. This is when I began to realize my limitations (like, NO, I cann't possibly clean the entire apartment now; I cannot lose 10 pounds now; etc.).

The number 3 is half of my favorite number (fave number is 33)~

so here's another "threesome" image!;)

Hang in there!

Jenny is totally right! I think at this same point I was thinking the same thing...cleaning the house like a madman.....worrying so much about the details that I think my hair almost started falling out. Then I finally just took a minute....realized what a tremendous thing was about to happen...and just started taking things slowly...because I knew how precious the time was going to be. Anywho...cheers on your countdown...and have a blast!

Oh...and hello to everyone! I have not been on nearly as much lately..and I do apologize. It's wonderful to see so many people on this thread now...I have to go back and catch up on everyone's stories. Take care.

Certainly is good seeing you again, Smiley!:rose:

Yes, there are still a few countdowns happening here, and it does make it exciting for most of us to remember our own special times!:rose:

Have things changed much since your LDR meeting? I feel more restless than before, and frustrated that so many things still need to be done before Oman and I can get back together. (Means less time on the PC too!) However, we're still moving on, and I appreciate every moment spent "connected" with him.:rose:

I don't know about numb. I am a mixture of nervous and excited. I really, really want him to get here! I swear, it is all I think about. I am so distracted at work, I think my boss is wondering what the hell is wrong with me. I keep making silly mistakes and I am in a better mood (not my usual crabby self :) ). As for all the stuff I have to get done, I am a procrastinator by nature, so I will probably clean the entire house and the car 3 hours before he gets here instead of doing it now like I should be doing...
 
hello again

I haven't posted here since I shared my story with you all. How is everyone doing? I hope you remember me, if not just ignore me:D
 
Re: long distance

Maxxx said:
I know that long distance relationships are very hard. But you know it can be the best and most rewarding time of your life. My wife and I have been married for over three yers now and have two wonderful kids. I am very happy now. I first met her out of state and we fell in love sat first meeting. We had a relationship half way across the country for almost two years seeing each other an average of every three months for maybe 5 days at a time. It was very hard and very painful at times. But i wouldn't trade that experience for anything in this world. Time and distance are two key factors to test true love. You know, the more we were away the more my love grew. It also gives you a chance to show how much you really care. Maybe in some ways you normally never would do. Write letters as much as possible, send care packages for no reason, send gifts of surprize, call at work, be creative, and remember to use plenty of humor in your packages and letters. Distance is hard, hearing from your loved one is hard, but somehow a laugh that came 100s of miles away makes things a lot better. Good luck to everyone, it will be worth it.

Welcome back, Maxxx:rose: (See, I remembered!);)

Your story was a very uplifting and helpful one for a lot of us!

Hope things are still smooth for you and yours, and that you keep in touch! There are a few "countdowns" approaching for LDRs getting ready to meet! It's an exciting time!:rose:
 
Well We can start another countdown now as well. If all goes well and stays on target then Lady Sam and I just hit the Double Digit Count Down...... 99 Days to go..... Oi! Seen like that It suddenly seems all the more real! Damn Now I really need to crack down and save. :)
 
Don't you just love it?

Watching those numbers shrink!

99 bottles of beer on the wall!:D

Way to go, Daeth!! Double digits indeed!

Then 55 for Ebony! This is just great!:rose:

Guess that means the big 2 now for Raina!!

Both my love and I have been more restless since her visit. We actually have hit several low points...days where you just want to tear your hair out because of all the problems and questions. What I wouldn't give to just skip the next few years...to just have things settled and the two of us together....it drives me crazy.

For now though, we have reached a very good understanding. We both know that we have things to work on outside of *us*...things that, when they are finished, will help us in the future. Also, she is having difficulty with family members at the moment...which has been a strain on *us* as well....hopefully that situation will be improving in the near future.

But yes Jenny...I do agree. Restless is probably the best word to describe it. Actually...to combat those feelings...we are starting to put together our next visit. I will probably be flying to see her some time this summer...and hopefully for a substantial amount of time! woohoo! I will keep all of you here posted on that in the weeks to come. For now...take care. I continue to pray for you all. On with the countdowns!

Welcome back Smiley....want to be lost in Cali with me while we wait?

It would be my honor. It's tough being all the way over here huh? And it's nice to be back. I missed everybody. Take care Lady Sam.

Restless certainly is the word, Smiley!:rose:

I'm caught in the midst of so many indecisions, my head keeps spinning! Got to keep myself more disciplined now... time is both moving very slowly, yet whizzing along.

It's a good idea to start planning your next visit together! I wish more than anything I could just spend some time with Oman NOW; it would certainly give us both a much needed boost! But I still feel strongly that we'll really be together sooner (as opposed to "later"!).:D

Hang in there, and keep communicating!! Glad you shared your restlessness with us here too! It helps to know you're not alone with these feelings, doesn't it?:rose:

Hi Lady Sam!:rose:
Things will be fine. Keep looking ahead! (And don't drink ALL the bear Oman's been counting!) :D

Love you, Oman!:heart: :kiss:

I remember those count down days well. AT times it seem like there were 100 hours in a day. Then suddenly on the day we get together there were only 10 hours in a day. Good luck to all those countdowns....Enjoy the time together and have a blast!
These short times together will be some of the very best times of your life, Times you will never forget and always look back on. Times that will always make you smile and bring a tear to your eye
