Tomorrow..!!

[Heather]

So tomorrow I leave to go meet him for the first time.. I'm so excited, but somewhat nervous. I think about all my flaws and just hope he can truly see past them. I'm afraid of that first impression.. what if he notices me before I notice him and Im doing something ridiculously stupid?

He's seen me on cam etc.. but I just can't seem to get myself past this nervousness. I plan on going on cam one last time(tonight) and hope maybe that leaves me a little bit more at ease. I plan to text/call him before I leave Portland and when I get into Houston. I told him jokingly that I may not call when I get into Houston because I'll be too nervous and he responded with something like "then hearing my voice should reassure you and make you feel a little bit more comfortable" ahh... I'm glad that the airport won't be cram packed with people when we meet..

I actually woke up this morning wondering if I should even go, but that's just because I'm afraid he won't like my looks as much in person as he does on cam and in my pics. So I told myself if I don't go I may regret it. I'm hoping for nothing but the best. I'm excited, I can't wait to put my arms around him and kiss him and I know once I'm finally in his arms I will feel much better. Anyone else feel this way when they were meeting for the first time? How did you get over it?

Soo nervous... yet sooo excited..

Aw, I'm so happy for you! I don't really have much advice since we haven't had our first meeting yet. But I think it's normal to have those thoughts. My silly fear is that I'm going to be staring at a crowd and not notice him before he sees me. It's silly to think I wouldn't recongize him after the amount of webcam time and pictures we've shared. He tells me not to worry about it and that he has some insecurities too. Which I of course think is crazy because there is very little he could do to turn me off. But he's probably feeling the same good anxious nervous excitement as you and I'm sure once you see each other and have that first hug it'll all go away. ^^

AHH!! So exciting!

Yeah, I completely agree with Alisz. He totally has the same big mix up of nerves and excitement as you do. You'd be surprised about all the insecurities he is probably worried about when it comes to himself - stuff you probably would love about him! Cherish every single moment with him and have fun

[Moon]

First meetings are SO exciting! You'll be fine, really, you will He'll be as nervous as you are, so just relax and enjoy yourself. Looking forward to hearing how it went, have fun!

I'm so so happy for you Heather! I really hope you have the most amazing time there with him. Don't let your nervous worries get the best of you. I am sure you will have an amazing time, you deserve it!

[Heather]

Thanks everyone

I can't wait for that first hug and kiss!

Alisz - I'm kind of scared that we won't "recognize" each other as well, even though we've seen lots of pictures and have gone on cam, the thought is still there.

MrsExPrez - Yeah he told me he's worried about me accepting his "flaws" but he really has nothing to worry about and I've told him that he said he is slightly worried, but more excited then anything!

Moon - Thanks! I can't wait to tell you all how it goes

Rebecca - I'm not as nervous as I am excited! I can't waittt.. and thank you!

Congrats on this big event! It'll be fine, nothing to worry about! =] You'll both be too excited and caught up in the moment to even notice any flaws...plus, guys don't usually notice the little imperfections we tend to nitpick at. Also, I'm sure he's feeling the exact same way. Just try and enjoy your time together, because this is such a special time for you both.

Just remember to breathe! I had the same fears as you did (he saw me on cam a bunch & lots of pics) and even though he did his best to calm my fears I was still scared. They all melted away the first time we laid eyes on each other. There were stil nerves but they lessened quite a bit.

Breathe. It'll be great!

Girl, I do the same thing every time I see my SO and we were together CD for over a year before we went LD. I always think I'm gonna step off the plane and disappoint him... and then as soon as I see him, it all melts away :-)

I am so happy for you and I can't wait to hear about your visit! Have an amazing time and enjoy each other!

[Heather]

Thank you all so much!

Just got word that st louis is talking about canceling all flights...looking at the website, theres already a lot of them canceled. Sighhh... the weather and airports must hate us!

THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME TOO. When Beau came for my birthday in October we lost a WHOLE DAY due to United overbooking his flight. When I flew out there I got delayed for hours and hours in Chicago due to weather and a broken plane. It makes me want to take a train or something else, but flying is the cheapest, fastest way.... but so unreliable!

[MrsExPrez]

Oh no! Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

[Karringtyn]

I was thinking of you when I was watching the news and weather. It will all work out hon. He cares for who you are on the inside..that is who he fell in love with. You are an amazing person, so sweet and caring...and now it is YOUR time to be happy! I can't wait till you update...be sure you don't forget about us!!! You are moving there right??!! How far of a flight is it? How does your family feel? Are they supportive?

[Hannahbaby16]

Awww, i'm so happy for you. Don't worry about a thing, everything will go great.

Have fun!

Awe girl, congrats!! I'm so excited for you!

It's totally normal how you are feeling. I remember those jitters of the first time meeting wondering if it will be as great as you expected it to be. It will! Just be yourself!

Keep us updated!
