My SO and I will have our 2 year anniversary this November. I've never been in an LDR this long before. The others ended and the one I actually relocated for I moved within 8 months. Patience is not my best virtue, but the light at the end if the tunnel is finally visible.

My SO has been in a position of not being able to move until next April at the earliest. We've just found out that if all goes well, he could now move as early as January. He's started working on getting things settled in Indiana and getting the house ready to possibly sell in the next few months. (Can I just say how happy I am that I don't have to move to Indianapolis???)

It looks like Texas is where we are going to end up. His sister wants to sell us her house because she wants to move closer to Dallas. Right now she lives near Corpus Christi. I really don't know if I want to buy from her. I just have the feeling that she would be making frequent trips back to visit "her house". Plus, it's only a one level house and I really want a two-story. I also want a real say in the house that we are going to live in and make sure it has everything that I want. I've already been looking and I've found a few really nice ones.

We're starting to discuss possibly getting married on 2/14/16 instead of 11/9/16. The February date would be the 2 year anniversary of the day we first met in person. The second is the date between our birthdays. We aren't officially engaged (no proposal, no ring) but I have a feeling we'll just get married instead. This isn't the first go around for either of us, so I think it's going to be something very small.....maybe even just the two of us. It would mean getting married before I can move, but I'm okay with that.

I just started school. Since my company is paying for it, I can't move until I graduate or I'll have to pay for it myself. If I put my mind to it and work hard, I could have my Associate of Arts in General Studies with a Concentration in Business degree in 8-10 months. This will also be beneficial to have on my resume when I start the job hunt in Texas.

Typing it all out makes me realize that we still have a long way to go. I'm glad we have goals to reach so we can cross off each step until we finally close the distance.
