    Lurker coming from the shadows to say hello!

    Hi everyone!

    I've been lurking around the site for a little bit now and figured it was finally about time to introduce myself because reading through the posts has helped me out quite a bit.

    My name is Heather and my wonderful SO and I have been together for about 1 year, 7 months. All of it LD. We're about 8 and a half hours apart (depending on who's driving!), Maryland to South Carolina. Luckily, we're able to see each other every couple of months... and I am currently in the early stages of closing the distance. Eep!

    We've known each other for awhile... starting back to a summer music camp (not just band camp!), where I was a junior counselor and he was a camper and I hated him. The summer after that, we were both counselors, and there was casual indifference. Then the next summer, we were making out on a couch out of nowhere. Though we had a week long summer love and the feelings were there, things didn't progress because of school and distance, but we stayed friends, just had an insane amount of chemistry between us. A few years later, we took another trip down the feelings road for a few months, but were again in completely different places in life and actually ended up breaking off contact for awhile because things went sour. A couple years later and here we are... together and together for good. Guess third time really is the charm!

    Anyway, I'm super happy to be a part of this community and look forward to getting to know all of you and share our experiences!

                          Welcome to the family!

                          Everything I know, and anywhere I go, It gets hard but it won't take away my love,
                          And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done, It gets hard but it won't take away my love
