The anticipation of long distances
Since coming home, I frequently find myself actively dreading the end of the summer - when Josh and I will be separated by 800 miles again. Knowing that we have the rest of our lives together after my last nine months of college doesn’t stop me from pouting about how life isn’t fair and wishing I could win the lottery so I could fly back and forth to see Josh whenever I want during the year. Or better yet, since I’d be a millionaire and all, he could just quit his job and come live in New York with me.
But as they say, you have to play the lottery to win it.
Despite our working-class existences, though, we’re going to do our best to visit each other. Of course, since the discovery of Skype, being apart isn’t nearly as painful as it used to be. But I’m hoping he might possibly be able to visit me this fall (but I won’t press it, since it’s his money and all). I’ll definitely go home for Christmas, and then he’s planning on coming back with me, Jennifer, and Roger to NYC for New Year’s and staying a couple of days. Then my plan is, if budget allows, to surprise him by coming back home for Spring Break - something I’ve never done before. If my budget is even bigger than hoped, I’d like to surprise him with a vacation for just the two of us, but unfortunately, that probably won’t happen. I guess it’ll have to wait for the honeymoon.
Being apart sucks, but it’s not forever. Two more semesters and we’ll be in the clear. AND I SO CANNOT WAIT.

You’ve come this far, you can make it the rest of the way. :) I do, however, understand how hard long distance relationships can be on you. :( My husband and I went through the first two years of our relationship long distance. Granted we were only 250 miles apart, and saw each other every three to four months, but still, at that time, it was very hard. Also, we both had dial-up then, and Skype and similar products didn’t exist, so we were SOL except for calling cards!
Anyway, I hope that the time remaining flies by for you, and that you can both be together all of the time. :)
