I Would Walk Five Thousand Miles For You

So, as most of you know, we are battling one of the toughest challenges a couple and relationship could go through: Long Distance.

It sucks.

Like, a lot.

But, it has taught us some important stuff!

For example, according to many relationship and marriage experts, communication is the key to a long happy  relationship. Well, we have had PLENTY of time to brush up on our communication skills. In fact, we have it down to a science. We are quite good at it in fact.

Another key note is Trust. Yup. We are Roughly 3000 miles away from each other. So trust is a big thing. He has never given me a reason to not trust him. Ever. Most of the time he is really good about checking in when he gets home so I know hes not laying dead in a ditch somewhere. We are very open and honest with each other. If something bothers me, he's usually really really good at picking up on it, especially if it's something he did that bothered me, and we talk about it! Other times it's the other way around. Sometimes we argue, fight, but it doesn't change a single thing(: We just find something funny that cracks us both up and we are right on track again. That's what happens when you have a strong relationship, fights don't ruin it, nothing does. If anything, the arguments make you stronger because you can't always  agree!


I miss him more than he could ever imagine. But, 2012 was a banner year for us! I got to go back home to Alabama to celebrate his father getting married on the beach of Gulf Shores, 5 amazing days with my man. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, and he was so incredibly handsome standing next to his dad. It gave me an image of what he will look like when we get married in a couple of years(:
Anddddd, he got to come out to Tacoma for Thanksgiving! Hands down the best Thanksgiving of my life. We had a bit of a time finding each other in the airport! He saw me before I saw him, but when I did, I didn't care that we were surrounded by hundreds of people, I jumped into his arms and gave him a big ol' kiss in front of God and everybody! Yup! Great movie moment right there, and I loved every second of it(:

I will be back home to Alabama sometime in Spring/Summer, just in time to welcome our brother -not blood- home from his forever long deployment in Afghanistan, and and for Jacob's big 21!! Can't wait to get his party together!! He is one lucky man, he will get a party every year because, I LOVE birthdays. ESPECIALLY for my Hubby, cause without him, I don't know what I would do!! He deserves it<3

It's really hard for me to not walk out the door and pull a Forrest Gump and just run. Run all 2, 700 something miles to his front door and never leave. But, alas, grown ups have grown up responsibilities and so I have to my Jimminy Cricket duct taped up and thrown in the back of my irresponsibility drawer and shut it.

I love you sweetheart.

What can I say? We fell into mutual weirdness and we call it love.
