Thoughtful Thursday: Long Distance

We've been together for three years. Four this year. When we're together, we love to just bum around and watch shows.  We love spending the day together. We just simply enjoy each other's company. A few months ago, I graduated and got a job, and everything we knew was flipped upside down. We now live 2 hours away from each other when we were just 2 minutes apart in Orlando. As this month comes to an end, and he gets closer to graduating, the distance between us will only grow more. It's going to be a difficult living apart for who knows how long and managing our relationship long distance. But I think this will be good. I'll definitely need some help, but it'll be good.

These pictures are the outtakes of our photo shoot a couple weekends ago that I promised I would post. We're just being silly. When I look back at them, I remember how much I loved that day. Despite having to trudge through some weeds and twigs scratching at my legs and encountering wasps making themselves at home by our feet. It was a lot of fun, and I think even though we were goofing off while the camera snapped away, we were fortunate that it captured who we are. They will be a constant reminder keeping me strong throughout our separation. We've only got a few more times to be together before we enter into the abyss. Yes. I think that's what I'm going to call our long distance. The Abyss.
