Hello, I'm Pylothe and I will be starting my third week long distance (I hallucinated when I counted ... feels like it's been 3 months already!).
Well, my boyfriend lives in Canada (British Columbia), so it's quite a distance for us. LDR is also a first for the both of us (and my first real relationship, to top it off).
We met in 9th grade (I was 14 and he was 16, catching up a class). We had one class together. I wouldn't say we were friends, but we talked and I developed a crush on him (turns out he had one on me too). The semester ended, I moved away the following year to my mom's and that was that. We were "friends" on facebook but we never talked or corresponded at all.
Except, on and off, I would think of him and look at his profile picture and, okay, I would feel a slight tinge of jealousy when I saw his relationship status with another girl, haha
Now, fast forward six years later. This summer I returned to Canada to see my father and I decided, what the heck, to contact him (had been thinking of him a lot during the year, more than usual) by PM on facebook. He replied and we met (again) in July and well...the rest just ran its course from there.
We knew from the beginning we would be in a LDR, since I have three more years of university to do before I get my Master's (it's 5 years in France). He's incredibly supportive of my studies (he himself only went to college to study carpentry) and supports me no matter what. The problem is he only has a phone which he can't download Skype on, he also can't receive text messages or phone calls because he actually doesn't have a subcription with any phone company. All he has is an app that lets him access free wifi so we can chat on facebook!!! We do our best though to chat regularly and we send each other pictures.
Sorry for the long introduction! This site looks so awesome! His birthday is coming up this month and I've already found so many awesome craft ideas of what to send him!
