Midnight,
Thank you for this post. I need this reminder to enjoy the time we have together. I will be meeting my LDR in person for the first time soon. We both count the days. I am so looking forward to that time together, but feeling that it will be so much harder to be away from him after we have been together. (Why on earth am I stressing on this instead of concentrating on the pleasure of seeing him?)

He says it will be easier because then at least we will know that we actually do like each other in person and we won't have that worry any more. (Though I am not super worried about whether I will really like him as I have had kind of a crush on him for three years, and we had talked casually several times before things kind of "caught fire" between us.

This is my first really long distance LDR. We are most of the continent away from each other. Some days are lots of fun with all the phone talk and the great things we share. Other days are very hard because are so far apart. Good news for us is we are both in a position to be able to move and we are both willing to move.

I very much want for us to be the "ever after" kind of LDR.
Smooches,
Keri
