    Creative Countdown

    The first time I was going to meet Stephen I drew him a picture each day for 30 days so we had a countdown, but this time he wanted to be involved too, so:

    We wrote down 65 things we want to do together, from watching a movie together, reading to each other to writing poems, play various games and do some sexy stuff too.

    So starting tomorrow we will pull one piece of paper and do whatever it says
    I think that'll help feel less lonely and make the days go by quicker

      How creative is that !!! I wish I could steal it but my SO is working in a remote place and due to our time difference, it would be difficult.

        That's a lovely idea. Nice to have an "active" countdown, so you have something to look forward to doing each day

            Thanks so much for the feedback
            We have exactly 65 days to go and we already decided if we miss a day we'll just do two things the next day

            Today I had to play 2 songs on my guitar for him

              That is such a cute idea! Did you make the list together or separately? I think I'll suggest this to my SO, maybe even for when we're CD for a couple months.

                We made it together on skype! He told me what he'd like us to do, I told him what I'd like to do.. at about 50 we struggled for a bit, but we still made it through to 65
                He had me write it down since I'm the more sensitive one and I need things to be around me so I don't start to cry :P

                        That's a great idea! I'm doing something similar with my SO, but not activity based because he has no time (tour manager on the road, very busy) I call it the "more sleeps countdown" and every day I use photoshop to make a picture for him, usually based around something relevant from the day. "26 more sleeps" etc. We usually get to talk every night even if just for a couple minutes, after the conversation I email him the picture. He loves it and it keeps me busy too!
