Love... Even Through the Distance

*Warning: This post may be sappy. I can't help it!



I have turned in to a lovey-dovey, can't think about anything else but my guy, don't even want to plan my wedding because it makes me miss him that much more (don't worry--that has changed since the first part. Now I just want to make this the most special day on earth for the both of us), hate that I don't talk to him a ton, girl. Never thought I would rely on a man as much as I do, but he's my best friend. Don't get me wrong, I have my girl best friends. And I don't know what I would do without them. Liz, Kyrie, and a whole ton of other wonderful, beautiful girls have been with me through A LOT. But, he's the one I rush to call when something big happens. He's the one I long to talk to after a hard day, and he's the only one, at least anymore, that can make me feel 100% better when I was at my lowest point.


This photo, in my opinion, is PERFECT. Allen and I are obviously long-distance since he is completing Combat Controller Training for the Air Force. I am sooooo incredibly proud because first, he made it into the program; second, he's one of 17 out of an original 36 that is planning on graduating from the 35-week program at the end of this month; and third, he's pushed through soooo much and even recovered from an appendectomy in the middle of it to make it to this day, and you can bet, I will be the most proud, teary-eyed, loving fiance in the crowd on graduation day. But, above all, not just because I wanted a relationship or anything, it's because I have found the one that makes me happy, and I can't live without him. It hasn't been easy. In fact, everytime I see him and then can't talk to him again for a little while, I probably turn in to the happiest girl for the first couple of days and then the most depressed for the next until I talk to him again. But it's worth it. So worth it.


For all those that have done long-distance, I have SO much respect for you. You put in the time to make something work that wasn't easy, but you knew that person meant enough to you, and you weren't going to give up, no matter how hard. That's what this picture means to me. 






Okay, enough of the sappy post. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday, and thanks for reading!!

  1. This is how I always felt when we were doing distance. People always told us it wouldn't work and it was too hard. But we made the choice that we wanted to be together and working through the distance and all the struggles that come with that was better than not being together. I promise it will be all worth it in the end because you will remember all the hard work and dedication that got you to the point of being together all the time.
