I've been in long-distance relationships before but this one is different. Maintaining the relationship hasn't been primarily dumped on just one person.
In fact, because I was starting my internship The Graduate has been great this week at checking in on me, including calling me before I started my first day and checking in after work. I LOVE this man.
And maybe that's the difference. This time I'm dealing with a man, not a boy.
I'm also doing my part to keep the relationship going. For instance every week he's getting a special delivery in the mail from me. Inside he gets special instructions for a certain activity and after we have to discuss it.
Unfortunately USPS wasn't on my side this week so I'm still waiting for him to get the package, but I've tried to combat that this week by sending his stuff on Saturday with the hopes it will get there by Friday of next week.
Additionally, as we're both increasing our knowledge with regard to our careers, we've decided to read a book together to help us become more loving Christians. Starting this week we'll read a chapter a week and then discuss it.
Finally, modern technology is also on our side. Last night we had our first skype session (which was full of grins on both our parts) and when we can't be on the phone, text messages are on our side.
Tonight just to be corny, I turned my TV to what he was watching so that we could have some semblance of doing the same thing together, even if we weren't in the same place.
He appreciates my mushiness and I his. We are a match made in Heaven. I just thank God for letting it happen.
