How to survive my long distance relationship
How I did it: We met each other in Washington but he was only visiting...from San Francisco, CA. We spent the next year talking through MySpace, texts, and hour long phone calls. He visited me twice and I flew down one time but those trips passed by so quickly and the time without him was so slow. But we perservered through it, because we knew what the other meant to us. As my Christmas present last year, he drove 800 miles, most of it in whiteout conditions, to move back up to Washington. So, the distance is finally gone and we're stronger than ever!
Lessons & tips: Talk, talk, talk! About everything! Fill each other in on what's going on in your day to day lives. It may seem boring to you, but your partner will learn even more about you and feel that much closer to you, as if s/he were there.
