Moments of Musing

I Keep Calm … And Countdown!

See you soon! 🎉🎉🎉 #milso #l0veus #navyso #navygirlfriend 
So very excited to be officially just 2 months away from seeing the man I love. Our time apart since his leave has been as good as it can get. We celebrated our 2-year anniversary in a special way. He spoils me with his love and I him with mine. 
60 days might seem like a lot. And to someone who isn’t “used” to long distance, it sure is. I remember when I thought ~40 days was a lot. But T was recently deployed and we went 205 days apart so to me 60 is a walk in the park. That’s not to say, of course, that each day without him is not one day too many. I think that goes without saying. But I was happy to have woken up to this number today nonetheless 🙂
Happy MLK weekend!

2nd Year Anniversary Date

Filed Under: anniversary, long distance, love, military relationship //

This is a little late but better late than never, right?
So, Monday was our 2 year anniversary. T called me during the day to tell me to pick out a movie so our skype date could also be a movie date. I was thrilled. We skyped for about an hour before the 2 hour movie. In that time, he opened his presents and we just chatted. We each also had wine so we could toast and just sip on some during the date like we’d have done if we were physically together. His roommate came home and asked him if he’d had a bad day because he was drinking wine, and T was like “no it’s our anniversary!” and went on to explain to him that he was even wearing a tank top I’d gotten him when I vacationed in California 🙂

Last night was a reminder that we work so wonderfully together and that for us, distance doesn’t suck as much as I guess it could. Anniversaries and romantic holidays, such a Valentine’s Day and Sweetest Day, are still great for us because we make them special together. We are devoted to one another and somehow we make the most out of our relationship as best we could despite the 6,000-mile separation.
All in all, it was the most perfect evening and I couldn’t even really tell we weren’t physically in the same room, we were so connected. I love him. So much. I fall more in love everyday and I constantly feel blessed.
