A Test Run of What's to Come

Countdown to when I move from Pacifica, CA to St. Petersburg, FL: 3 Weeks, 3 Days

For this first time ever this week, my boyfriend is actually not just 10 minutes away from me! He's been in Washington State all week at a family reunion, and won't be back until sometime late next week. So, like any good soon-to-be-LDR girlfriend would do, I'm using this week to see how we handle being apart.
The diagnosis so far? Pretty good! Our communication is somewhat strained (his family wants him to focus on what's happening there, and not me, which is understandable) but we're handling it good!
I find that I'm able to handle not being with him...which sounds mean, but what I'm really saying is that missing him doesn't stop me from going on with my life. I've been at the Relay For Life with my Mom (a Cancer survivor now! Yay!) I saw the Midnight Screening of Harry Potter (OH MY GOD IT WAS EPIC. GO SEE IT. NOW.) And I hung out with my best friend and made some very awesome pasta. (Italian Chicken Sausage cooked in Olive Oil served over Penne, yum!)

This is all good with me! I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle him being gone, and that it would strain our relationship when I move.

Which reminds me....
Today he going to call me because he has some very important news.... which involves his Dad? I wish I knew what the heck he was talking about!
I know that he and his Dad have discussed our relationship (in which a very interesting point about "if all goes well, I'll ask her to marry me in a year" came up *swoon*). I hope that his Dad approves of this... he had no opinion last time, and I'd hate for Brennen to be stressed out over who's more important or something crazy like that.

....that and we've only been together for ALMOST two months (in four days!)

Anyone ever had the family like you, but not think you're "The One" for your SO? I should bring this up in forum, there must be some interesting stories out there...


That's all for now!
