We talked for about an hour and 20 minutes...this convo was much needed because the past week, I've just felt as if we really didn't talk that much. I was worried about him, worried that something happened to him or something was bothering him. We talked like old times again and we caught up on so much!! Then, I dropped the bomb...I told him about the lack of communication. But, I did it in such a way that was extremely respectful, calm and not placing a blame on him. I acknowledged it was a team effort and that we both should work on it together and we decided to make that our goal. He totally understood where I was coming from and he felt bad because he'd missed most of my texts this week and couldn't respond for several hours. He really wants to work on it, too and did not take any offense at all. 
We both agreed it was important that we put that out there and that it's okay to speak what's on our minds, in order to keep it from escalating and that way we can avoid fighting over the small things, which has never really been a problem for us anyway. We just reiterated that it's all good and we're both very approachable, understanding people. =] I had envisioned this conversation going so many different ways, and it went just as perfectly as I'd HOPED it would. I wasn't exactly sure how he'd respond, though he really is a very easy going guy to go to for advice and to talk to. Anthony told me he can't wait for summer, so we can spend it together! We're temporarily closing the distance in 47 days! ^_^ We really needed this conversation and I feel like we're both in a good, positive state of mind, which is obviously the ideal place to be. I know I feel relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to start the week of school....we CAN get through this and we WILL! We also talked about how people tell us we're crazy for even trying long distance....those who tell us this have failed at the LDR. But, Anthony and I are different. We are 100% willing to make this work and to get through the distance because our love is so deep, so rich and has been there for YEARS, even though we've only been together 7 and a half months. I know I've loved him since I was 9 years old and wanted to be with him my entire life....but that's another story. I have to post the story of us in the stories section soon lol. Just wanted to give an update and let you guys know how I'm feeling at this moment in time. It's also for me, because I needed to write down my feelings, so I felt "why not share this with all the other LFADers?". *squee* I'm feeling super positive about the whole rest of this LDR now. It's all good.
