Well it seems I underestimated 1 yes in a sea of no's (over exaggeration at its finest lol). I have been trying to figure something my SO and I could do together as a long term project. I think it is good to do things like that because it does bring people together when you accomplish something as a team. She had seemed to like blogging so I suggested for us to do that. I brought it up a couple times and she said no but the last time I asked her she said yes. So anyways last night she brought it up, on her own, for starting one about our relationship and actually set up the tumblr account and put up a banner and did the title. I was surprised but, happily so.

Already, it is starting to bring us together. We have never really talked much about the first time we met and now the details are starting to get a little fuzzy but I asked her what should we put in it first and she said how we met and I said yes we will start from the beginning! From there we started to talk about what we were thinking and feeling during the time. We didn't have a long friendship period. It all happened, I think by a lot of peoples standards, very fast. I didn't even realize it until she brought up the fact of it. To me it feels like I've known her like childhood friends. The whole time we have been together seems like it has been forever and at the same time gone by so fast. Its very odd think back on the time we have been together like that. But before I start babbling too far off topic, yeah so we talked a lot again last night and we were very open about a lot of things and it was a very nice time talking with her again. To be honest, I have never been in a relationship where we have talked about each other so much. I guess in an LDR sometimes there is little other options but still it is more than that now. I genuinely enjoy hearing everything about her and getting to know her has been, well rough in the beginning, but its getting a lot easier now and so much fun! We are getting very close because of this and since this whole thing started for the first time I am starting to see positives to being in an LDR. I am starting understand why an LDR can be better for developing a relationship in the beginning than always being in a CD relationship. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

I guess the main thing I was wanting to get across here is: to remind myself and hopefully anyone else that I thought that being in an LDR would be nothing but fighting, clawing, kicking and screaming through life trying to make it to my SO but, that is just not the case. Sure, it is still hard, and yes it might even be the hardest thing, building a relationship-wise, that a person could go through but, that doesn't mean that it is not without beauty or reward (and I don't mean just the final reward of being together). The journey can be good too!

I will come to this blog when I am sad to try and remember how I felt today. Because I feel pretty good about this now. And to top all that off I finally made my post count here so I could put one of those awesome slider, counter, bar thingies in my signature too (I've been wanting to put one since I saw one here)! So many good things lately!

P.S. I will try to put up a link to our blog once we get a good bit of it finished and it goes well and everything.
