38 Days

In 38 days Squishy graduates from college!

This is a huge change in our relationship. After three and a half years of dating and 4 years of knowing each other he will be within 30 minutes of me everyday. I will be able to see him more than every month or two.

I cannot imagine that it will feel that different at first but as the time stretches on past 1 month, 2 months, I know it will sink in. I am excited for this change in our relationship.

So far in our relationship we have had summer and winter breaks together, occasional long weekends, and weekly phone calls. Lately the phone calls and texts have become more and more frequent as the end is so near.

This was the hardest semester for both of us. Each time we have to say see you later it becomes just a little harder to do so. This is because over the years of a long distance relationship we have become so close. Just the fact that for so long our entire relationship has been based on talking and learning as much as we could about each other.

For now he is applying for jobs and trying to find a job close to home.

I will be going back to school come January and will be working a full time job and being a full time college student at the same time. Along with the stress of that I have car payments for the car I just purchased because my old one was not long for this world. We will also likely be getting engaged and possibly even married in the mean time and trying to pay off the $100,000+ in student loans he had to take out to go to school.

But I am excited. Very very excited.
