Loving Your Long Distance Relationship archive
 It was the summer of 2001
and I got the chance to go up to Syracuse, NY for a Fire/EMS trade show
and work as a spokesmodel. I got up there, our booth was diagonal from
Liberty Art Works. There was a cute guy with this kind of spiky dyed
blond hair and a tan. We started talking, (I believe he asked me if I
was cold in the firecoat I was wearing) and when he told me that he was
from Saint Louis, I NEVER thought I would see him again. We talked about
traveling and stuff and he casually suggested that we hang out that
night. We never met up that night.
I stopped by his booth the next day and he said, "why don't we blow of
the old people and hang out together tonight". He gave me his cell phone
number (and conveniently put his home number down too) so I could call
him later that night. We couldn't meet up again that night but I decided
to give it one more chance and asked him to have lunch the next day.
The next day we walked around the convention center talking and
laughing. When we left the convention, we said goodbye, he said that he
would call and that he wanted me to come down to Saint Louis to visit. I
honestly thought I would never hear from him again. Or even if I did, I
would never see him again. That night, he called me from the road. Which
really made me feel like he was interested. He didn't play those wait
three days to call games. We talked everyday for hours since that day.
And one month and a half after meeting him, I did actually visit Saint
Louis. It was amazing. I am really glad we waited because the month and
a half gave us the time to really get to know each other and it was
special. Rob says that that night he knew he loved me.
We dated for two years long distance. One of us would fly out at least
once a month. It was hard waiting to see each other. But I knew it was
worth it...I was in love! He proposed to me in Dec 2002 and I finally
moved to Saint Louis in July 2003. We are now living together and
happily planning our wedding for May 2004.
Some people say that long distance never works but I believe if you
truly love somebody, the distance doesn't matter. You get through it,
knowing that one day, it will be worth it and you will be together.
