Long Distance

Matt is in Houston and I am here in Chicago. Just for the interim.

Tonight I was in the home of a couple friend of mine. They've been married for 10 years. I was asking them about their relationship. During their story, the husband pulled out four big binders of love letters they had written back and forth during the six year courtship, most of which had been done long distance.

On my drive home, I reflected on Matt and I. We may not be great love letter writers, but we sure love using modern technology to bond us together during these months apart. Two examples of this.

Two: I sent Matt this picture in a text message today during work. My work girlfriends walked into my office carrying these after lunch and insisted I tie them behind my swivel chair. I think they're just as excited about Matt's and my engagement as we are. Look at those awesome balloons!!


One: We Skype almost every night. Yesterday Matt was making funny faces into the Skype camera, so I grabbed a few shots. I decided to post one of his most serious ones.


So basically long distance is treating us real well.

No paper binders for the kids though. Thank goodness for blogs.

I am so glad Kevin and I were separated for four months during our engagement because we learned SO much about each other. Our friendship really grew and that's when we became best friends. I'm glad technology has made it easy for you!! I'm so happy for you guys.
