My SO will be arriving here in 86 days! How exciting! Considering the countdown started at around 153, we've come a considerable distance. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a patient person. I don't like waiting for things, even good things. I love instant gratification. So, man, did 153 feel like a long time! So does 86! But I'm trying to focus on the now. And now, I want to get planning on how things will be done at the airport.
He's flying into my hometown so I will pick him up at the airport.
From the beginning, I've known that I want my family there. But more recently I've been looking into the idea of having a few friends there (A college roommate and my best friend of about 5 years and her family who is my second family.) to greet him as well. So far, they would all love to meet him there at the airport with me. I'd love the support! (We've met before, last summer when I went to visit him, but he picked me up all on his own because he doesn't have much family that lives with him and his friends were away.) He seems to be okay with the idea, neither denying it or being overly excited, so I'm a little hesitant.
I understand that he is coming off a long flight and might not want to exchange the traditional three Dutch kisses with everyone, but I also think that he might like a big welcome to America since it's his first time. I want him to feel as at home as possible. When I went there, I never very much felt in the know about a lot of things, his friends or too much of his family, but I want him to be friends with all of my friends and to love my family.
So, I need opinions on that.
Also, I was trying to think of fun poster board signs we could have should we all decide to be with him!
Just let me know.
May the odds be ever in your long distance favor <3

that's awesome!! Did he ever get his passport thing situated? I'm meeting my dude for the first time next month so I'm going through something similar at the moment. For me, that's just making sure everything at home is comfortable. We talked about what foods and stuff he wanted. I've also been doing some last minute maintenance projects I've been putting off.
