I watch too many romantic movies!

I don't feel like starting a new topic for this.

Tim told me he doesn't want to go to bed because there isn't an indention in the pillow for where my head goes and it makes him sad.

Also: Either my internet or my router has decided to crap out.  NOT A GOOD THING when trying to be lovey dovey.  We had a disconnect in the middle of....things.

Awwwww, geez I hate those first few nights after someone leaves, the bed seems way too big for it's own good. Generally when Steve leaves I wash the sheets just because I need to, but also because he generally wears this certain brand of spray on deodorant that smells kinda nice, and I can smell it in the bed and it makes me lonely 

I love how technology loves to do that right in the most inopportune times, or the phone rings or somesuch, as if LDRs aren't hard enough as it is

Tim wound up washing the sheets the day after I left because he happened to have the day off and since he doesn't have a dryer needed the time to hang them out.  He told me it was the worst laundry task he had to do.

Glad to see you back Beth. Hope you and your friend had a wonderful visit!  Your trip isnt very far off now!

MEGA-congrats to you Patty!  I am over the moon happy for you both!

So um... I got married over the weekend...   Now I'm at work and David is off exploring and then he has to go home tonight. I feel seriously sick to my stomach thinking about being without him (again).  But, my trip to England is in just over a month the end of the LDR is nearer than it was before, so I will do my best not to go into total depressive mode when he leaves tonight.  Ugh.

YOU WHAT!!!!!! you got married over the weekend? oh my gosh Congratulations!!! so when are you and David going to get the marriage visa and when are you moving to England....I am speechless I am sooo happy for you

Yes welcome back Beth I have missed you

And Patty is getting ready to come over on my side of the pond yay!!!!

OMG YAY!!!!!!!


Tell us more!  How did it happen? When did it happen?  Photos! We demand photos!

It just kinda happened... Nothing ceremonial, just signed some papers at the office.  No one really cared or even said congratulations (who can blame them, really?).  It was kinda like renewing the stickers on your license plates!
No pictures, no great story to tell.  But, its done and we both feel the better for it (eventhough it doesnt seem like anything has changed yet, of course.)

The "plan" (which I put in quote b/c it can change so easily and so many times) is to have a real wedding in England in about 2 years or so, which I imagine would be more exciting than actually getting married
Because of a host of reasons, I wont be applying for my visa for a few months (probably September) and wont be moving until the end of the year, but this was most likely the last time he will be in America before then, so thats why we made it official.

I am so overcome by bittersweet emotions right now that I kind of feel numb if that makes any sense. I almost dont know HOW to feel.  I now have a husband who I love more than anything, but still cant be with him... and somehow the need/desire/desperation to be with him seems stronger than before.  He leaves in 8 hours (and I'm at work for about another 1.5 of those hours) and then its back to being lonely again and I can physically feel my heart aching already.  On top of everything else, it makes me feel so weak and I wish I was "better" at this than I am.  I know that its only 5 or 6 weeks until I see him again, but 5 days seems too long right now, and then I know that in 5 or 6 weeks after those 6 days spent together, then I have to go thru all of this again. Its a cycle that never seems to end and its tearing me apart!

Hi ladies!  How is everyone?  I am dealing with a broken down truck today...it's at the mechanics now.  $445 later it will be fixed.  Not too bad, considering I thought it would be much more than that.  My boss made me mad this morning, but no worries...I am not letting anyone upset me.  I have enough to deal with w/o feeling frustrated at people all the time.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday.

Ooooh...congratulations on being married!  So sorry that you have to go through all these emotions, before you 2 can acutally be physically living together.  I am on the same time frame as you for moving, so we will just have to keep eachother's spirits up.  I plan to marry in Nov and then move over around the end of this year/first of next year.  The distance does seem much harder when the comittment to be together long term is made.

But just think, soon it will all be over and you'll permanently be together

Hi all. Sorry I've dropped off the face of the earth a bit. I've been keeping very busy, which has helped with the adjusting. And I think eventually I will feel normal and confortable. I am a lot better off than I was a week ago that's for sure! Jamie and Alan, cute wedding pics!! You're dress is so pretty - it all looks so fairytale-ish. And Mirra... holy crap!!! You sneaky thing you! Congratulations!! I know it's hard but you will get through it. Just look towards the future. That is so exciting. Anyway, can't stay on long, just wanted to pop in and say hi.

Congrats Carey!  Sorry about the roller-coaster emotion thing...that has to suck.  At least you have a plan (however mutable) that you can work towards.

I hope you have a great afternoon/evening with David, and the time flies until you get to see him again.

Glad to see you back Beth. Hope you and your friend had a wonderful visit!  Your trip isnt very far off now!

MEGA-congrats to you Patty!  I am over the moon happy for you both!

Congrats  It's a shame he has to go back, I can imagine it's a bit bittersweet By the time Steve goes back we'll have only been married 6 days, so we'll prolly go through that bittersweet phase as well. But like Becca said, soon you two will be able to finish the chapter of your LDR and move on to bigger and better things

Awww, Carey, hon.  If you need ANYTHING, you know where to find me.

And we WILL see each other in 5 weeks time. 

Oh, and your voice mail message....were you driving with an open window? lol  That's what it sounded like to me!

*HUGE hugs*

Anywho, ladies..just wanted to pop on real quick.  Ian and I leave for England tomorrow so we're doing a bunch of last minute things today and just trying to relax a bit.

Sooo...next time I'm on here I'll be in England.  Woot!!

*hugs all around*

oh my, congratulations!!  sorry to hear you've still got a bit of waiting ahead of you, but that's so exciting that your plan is coming together!

david and i are currently in the midst of trying to find an apartment for june or july...it's a bit tough trying to do this with me here and him there...but i've been looking through lots of ads and telling him which ones look suitable, and it's now his job to contact the realtors and view the places so he can take photos for me.  hopefully it won't be too hard to make a decision without me actually viewing the flats.  i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at trying to get a place and working with his current landlord to get him out of his lease a few months early (i just don't think i can manage to live for a month or two in his current house where he has four roommates, a single bed, and only one bathroom!). 

also, my mom is coming to town for holiday weekend (patriot's day) and we're spending friday through tuesday together.  i really, really, really hope we can make it that long without talking about england.  it's going to be so horrible if she brings it up and breaks down crying about how alone she will be  

All right, ladies...

...so I lied.  lol

I wanted to give one last "see you later!" today.  I can't believe today is the day we're leaving for England.  We have a few things to do this morning, and leaving for the airport around 1pm Ohio time today to get there early.

I've cried a little bit this morning, but I know it'll get worse at the airport.  But, I'm thankful that I have Ian with me, my family and friends waiting for me in England, and all of you for support. 

Ladies, try and have a good few days!  Will let you know how things are asap!  xxxxx
