Oh my god yay. :) Seriously, hearing that others have gone through all that AND come out on top and that their feelings of "Oh my god this guy might be the one" turned out to be validated....... TOTALLY makes me quit stressing. But only a tiny bit, mind you. ;) I'm too much of a stresser to NOT worry I guess. But still, it's heartening. :)

The significant other got a call from his big head honcho boss today and was told they're considering him (seriously) for a position at their California branch. Even if he doesn't get it this time (if he does, that means he'd be coming here in a month!!! :o), there's a heavy chance that within the next 6 months he'd be re-considered and sent here on a project.

He's absolutely on cloud 9 for sure.... like he'd be makin $70+ a year, AND we could be together (I never thought I'd see the day where California is only a hop, skip, & jump compared to how far I am from someone right now) more often.

I'm excited, yet freaked out at the same time.... This really puts a lot of my vacation plans up in the air, not to mention I'm SO not as far along in my diet as I wanted to be when I finally saw him in 4 months!! Argh! Still have 15lbs to go... :(

But man... it WOULD be so nice.... *sigh*

Crazy how the world works....

The funny thing is that I would LOVE to move to Cali. I just need the right support and reasons behind such a move at this point. I can't think of a better one, of course.

But, still, let's see where time leads.

The net thing has still been up in the air because he's been so busy, and me too.... and now we've got to wait and see what's going on with this work thing of his.

How've you been Sunshine? :)

Going on 7 years marriage here and all is well and dandy. :) Long distance relationships can work. I only saw my hubby for a total of...3 weeks between the time that we started dating and got married. lol We lived about a 14 hour drive from one another.

He's active duty Navy and sometimes he leaves for 7 months. Sometimes I've gone 30 days without hearing a word from him. Sometimes I felt like a "single mom", especially when in 7 months I allowed no one to babysit, even for a moment. When you live across the ocean from friends and family with a newborn and no hubby around, it can be lonely and frustrating. Lots of tears have been spilled. Every relationship has it's rough moments, whether you are together every second of the day or apart for days, weeks, months at a time.

As they say, sometimes distance makes the heart grow fonder. Even long distance relationships can have a happily ever after. It isn't the distance that ruins relationships, it's whether or not both hearts are really in the right place.

That.... is wonderful. :) And I agree..... if it was just about the distance, I think we would have given up a long time ago. But we love each other, way, WAY too much. We... complete each other. :)

Hey ladies... Just checking in on everyone. Its been a while since I have posted as I have been spending the month with the bf in Chicago. Im leaving Sunday and im having a hard time even thinking about leaving after spending another AMAZING month here. Its so hard and im so depressed and missing him already even though I haven't even left yet. What do you ladies do when you have to leave?

Oh and BTW Star im so happy for you and I know you will be just fine!

Thanks Pammy! :)

And yeah, Chicago IS pretty amazing during the summer! Just the winters that suck... *shiver*

Awww... I'm glad Sunshine.

It honestly really sounds like he cares for you chica. Can't ask for more than that, sometimes.... especially in this world.

Question though... you say you miss his friendship awfully.... but is that all you miss? Truly? Can you say that being around ("around") him.... you won't want more?

I don't know if I could be like that with K..... seriously.... as much as we try to say that if something were to happen with us one day we'd still remain friends. *sigh*

Hey Ladies, I just got home this morning and I'm HATING it. I spent one of the most incredible months of my life and now its over! I actually got lucky because I was suppose to fly back home Sunday night, but while i was waiting to board the plane they came on the intercom asking for people to give up there seats and fly out Monday morning with a free round trip ticket anywhere in the US. You better believe i jumped on that one. Not only does it give me a free ticket to fly to see him again but I got to spend another night with him. It was hard as I had already said goodbye and cried my eyes out walking towards my gate just to have to do it all over again this morning. I miss him soo much already and I have only been home a few hours. UGH! Im so depressed right now and I just wanna curl up in bed and him be in there with me. I know it will be at least 2 months till i see him again and it just depresses me more! I love him so much and i cant imagine one second without him :cry:

Oh a side note I lost 5lbs while i was there even though I didn't eat very good at all... Man its amazing what destressing can do for someone.

That's so awesome Pammy :)

And the free ticket... whoa! Totally awesome!

I've noticed myself that it's WAAAAAAAY easier for me to lose weight when I'm happy. :) I guess that's one of the things helping me right now as well??

Yeah it seems to have helped me in my weight loss ... last time i spent a month with him i lost 13lbs yes ONE THREE! Its amazing how being happy can help you improve yourself not only physically but emotionally. Good luck we can do this and be incredibly happy at the SAME time... Who would of thought?

Seriously!

They've done tons of studies on that though and they say that women are especially vulnerable to maintaining weight because of depression. Something about things being fired in the brain and whatnot.

Sunshine... anything new going on with you guys? How's the whole talking again thing going?

haha It's okay, it happens. :)

My guy saw my birthday pics from this past weekend, after more than 2 months of not seeing me because of the whole internet thing (during which I've lost about 15lbs) and he was like... in awe. He was like "Baby...? You won't forget who loved no matter what you looked like, right.... RIGHT?"

I was like *smack!*

hehe I <3 our senses of humor..... :)

:o:D Thanks Sunshine... I feel so great too. All my best friends got together somehow for my birthday and people were really shocked at how good I look. I've lost about 45lbs since I met the majority of them a few years ago, and no one could believe it. In one night, I had 2 guys ask for my number! :lol: An ex-friend (if you know what I mean) was there too, and he was like.... all over me. Too funny.

I just hope K can handle it... he's feeling kinda unnerved (though happy and excited for me) how I'm all of a sudden plummeting towards being skinnier. I love him that he'd come to love and accept me for who I am... but it is still pretty funny that now he's kinda off balance (though like I said, excited) about it!

I'm just kinda like... *smug*... "Told ya so..."

Ah well. And top of that... I most DEFINITELY have a long way to go before I'm even REMOTELY close to anything called "hot". ;) Or even, "cute".

I am in one now, we have been together for six years. It is hard but we both trust each other. There are times it is hard, like when something happens and I need his support. He is in San Diego and I am in Missouri. I am going out in March to visit with him for two weeks and keep fingers crossed as we are going to talk about marriage.

I've been in a LDR for about 3 years now with my current boyfriend Andrew..it's not a REALLY LDR like starfishkitty or becki22, but it's seems that way sometimes. He lives about 1 and a half hours away and we only get to see each other about 3-4 times a year. I feel for other girls/guys that have longer distances and less visitations..but I love him dearly and i feel like he's my best friend.

Lately i feel like he's growing distant from me and that he's less interested in me then he use to be. Every since he bought his 1st cellphone he's been txting and calling all of his friends (mostly girls :S) and been ignoring me. When he says he'll txt or call me he never does...and IF he does..he does it for like a couple mins and then stops.. We used to talk on the phone for HOURS and HOURS.. now it's about and hour each day.. :( I miss my baby.. *cry*

So, i'm just thinking im being paranoid and jelous & i need to trust him a bit more..but still.. i don't want things to change.. i liked them the way they were! lol
