As I prepare to cross the pond and have the experience of a lifetime, I have been making sure to not forget those who are very close to my heart. Since being in college I have had a long distance relationship between Texas and Minnesota with my high school sweetheart. I couldn't have imaged that the distance could get any further until being accepted in to this amazing study abroad opportunity. I would be lying to say that long distance relationships are perfect, but like any other relationship, you grow stronger together. We have made it work!! This semester we will not only be the furthest apart, but it will also be the longest time spend apart. We will go a total of 175 days without seeing each other!!! Wowsa!! Only 128 to go!! It will be the greatest reunion yet!!
Communicating long distance will definitely have some challenges this semester with the time difference! To be prepared and make sure that any important dates within our relationship are not forgotten, I have made letters for Colin to open throughout the semester. This was a Pinterest inspiration! There are 14 letters in total and there were instructions included.
