I've seen him everyday since we got together with the exception of the few times I went home without him, Thanksgiving break, and a month over winter break. Three months without him seems like so long, luckily I've got my family here and a goal to weigh 30 pounds less when I move back.
Aww Lissa, I'm so sorry you have to be a part for 3 months. That's a very difficult thing to do. If it makes you feel any better, my hubby and I were apart for all of our engagement except for a few weeks during Christmas time and we developed INCREDIBLE communication skills that have truly been an asset to our marriage for the past three years. When you can't hug or touch the person you love, your words are so critical to let them know how you feel and you really learn to listen well and to say exactly what you mean in the most effective way possible. I hope the two of you are able to grow closer as well. I'm sure you will. And when you see him again, it will be SUCH an amazingly happy experience that you will never forget it! The first hug after a long separation is wonderful! Try your hardest to enjoy your vacation until you get to see him again.
