It's good to let yourself be sad about it, but optimistic at the same time.<br /><br />As for the you part...I throw myself into a hobby, watch girlie shows/movies, and I read until my eyes fall out.

Kyle and I started our relationship long distance and it was pretty miserable. since then we haven't been apart for more than a few days. which is good since when he's gone I go crazy. Find something to occupy your time. a new project, some good books, or get pampered. all of those things helped me. in fact, I learned to knit when Kyle and I were apart. Hopefully it will just fly by!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09697488765570896309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022094815105915714.post-21276234243842995082014-01-16T10:01:24.622-07:002014-01-16T10:01:24.622-07:00Yuck on him being gone so long, but yay for the gr...Yuck on him being gone so long, but yay for the great opportunity!<br />I've never had to deal with a long distance relationship (only being apart for like 4 days my first semester of school before coming home on the weekends doesn't exactly count!) So I have no words of wisdom other than you got this!<br /><br />Also, I know I'm forever away but you can always text/message me whenever things get overwhelming - I play into the girl stereotype a lot so if anything, at least an empathetic hear to your woes!Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410011779090085342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9022094815105915714.post-64914127713046880522014-01-15T11:13:16.946-07:002014-01-15T11:13:16.946-07:00I wish I was close enough to keep you entertained ...I wish I was close enough to keep you entertained for 12 weeks! But alas, I am not. <br />I didn't want to laugh about the tire thing, but I couldn't help it. I had a car that had a leaky tire that could never be fixed (something about a bent wheel, but they were a special order deal from the factory because they were chrome, so I would have had to replace ALL of my wheels. ugh) So I had to put air in my tire at least once a week. I even kept a air pump that could plug into my cigarette lighter for emergencies. To say I'm the master at putting air in my tires would be an understatement. :P <br /><br />Why did you need to know that? I'm not sure. Just taking up a small portion of the 12 weeks. By now, you probably have one less minute until he gets home! So.. that's an accomplishment.<br /><br />Regardless, I hate that he's gone for so long. It sucks, but at least its only 12 weeks. Soon? It'll be 11 weeks. And then 10.. and before you know it? He'll be home.

Never 12 weeks so I can't attest to that whatsoever, but the longest we've dealt with was 2 weeks and I didn't think it was nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be! I run, go to yoga, read, binge on Netflix, binge on DVR, cook new recipes, go shopping on the days that I have to myself. I will say that being apart like that, especially 12 weeks (!!!), will make him coming home so exciting for both of you. I know it's incredibly cliche but distance really, really does make the heart grow fonder.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100999347349739541noreply@blogger.com
