Manifesto Monday: Distance

1.13.2009

I believe that distance makes the heart grow fonder. CJ and I have been married for 1,845 days. We've haven't seen each other for maybe 60 out of those 1,845. When we first got married I feared the day that we'd spend a night or two without each other due to work or travel. I tried to avoid it, and swore I'd NEVER spend a night away from CJ. Well, our first  night apart came after we had been married nine months...CJ went for a boys trip to Southern Utah. I cried. He offered to stay. But I wouldn't have it. I could be strong. Yes, indeed. Needless to say, we survived our one night apart. Since then, we've survived 2 and 3-week stints. Now we're looking at a regular 2-week separation for the next four months as I live in SLC to finish my BFA. I don't like being away from CJ...it's nice to know that at the end of the day you'll have someone to talk to, vent to, to cuddle with, and that will let you know you're not THAT crazy. But, this I know, that reunions are oh so sweet--there's nothing like it. Hugs have never been so comforting, eyes have never been so bright. This I believe.

I love that you are so in love with your husband. That's how it should be, a best friend. While you're here we should all try to get together.

I'm sorry you have to be away from CJ! It's amazing how true that really is. The heart really does grow fonder. I wish you the best and a speedy reunion to your love.

Hey, when are you coming? Dustin and I have only been away for maybe 15 or so days since we have been married. It's hard! LOVE YOU!! I would love to get together and go to lunch.
