For those keeping up with my posts... I visited my boyfriend July 19-23 and it was... AMAZING!

 

So many of our issues were melted away within the hour of being together. I ended up telling him the night before I saw him how I felt about going to the movies with his best friend right when I got there and he agreed that it was pretty silly of him for suggesting it (we ended up seeing the movie by ourselves the next night and hung out with his best friend on the 3rd night). I got to see his parents, friends, workplace, and church. It gave me so much insight on his life and understanding. His hometown is so different than mine - so much more relaxed. I could even see myself living out there someday maybe. He said he was nervous about showing me everyone/everything because of my possible reaction. Seeing me be excited about everything made him feel really happy.

 

He took me up to his thinking place, this really beautiful canyon. I saw stars for like the first time (I'm in Jersey, he's in Nevada). And then he gave me a promise ring!

 

Unfortunately the days went by way too quickly and before I knew it I was at the airport saying goodbye.

 

I gave him a necklace - I have the other half of it - we put them on each other at the airport with promises to not take them off until we see each other again at which point we will exchange pieces :)

 

Ever since I got back home, thing have been going pretty smooth. No fights at all. We have minor disagreements about insignificant things still but I know that will always be the case. I'm learning to let things go a lot more too and not throwing a hissy fit every time I don't get my way. New countdown is: 44 days! It's like nothing compared to the original 105 days we had to wait lol.

 

I will keep updating and I'm sure I'll be asking for more advice along the way :)

I'm so happy to read this, I'm glad you managed to sort out your small issues when you were there to visit him. Sounds like you had a wonderful time together!

 

Please do update as much as you can, I'd love to read how the story goes on with you two. I wish you the best of luck, I'm sure those 40 odd days will fly by like nothing! For me it's quite the opposite right now. Before my last visit we had to wait about 40 days and now we'll have to hold on for 105 days, which seems so long, but reading this made it more bearable somehow :)
