Six Months

     Wow, six months already. I don't think I could be happier at the moment. Normally, I am the absolute worst with keeping up with dates, particularly birthdays and anniversaries, but I suppose it's just that the little things seem to count so much more being in an LDR. Anyone who thinks that being in one is an simple as one with your next door neighbor, or even in the same city, has clearly never been in one. It's tough, never getting to see your significant other, or get to spend much time with them outside of major visits. Two major visits, that's all I've been able to have so far with a third coming up soon, and while both lasted for 5+ days, it's just not enough. Date nights are always video games or movies, when all you can do is be on a computer. Obviously it's not the end of the world when you enjoy those things, like I do, but there's still a lack of physical contact. No holding hands, no hugs, no proximity. It makes me even more grateful for all of the little notes, pictures, and video calls in between. I feel lucky to even have what I do. In the end, it's worth it. =)
