{Warning: relationship post}
It's been an interesting 18 months, that's for sure. And what I've learned is that time is a really weird thing. It still boggles my mind how so little time (in the grand scheme of things) has passed, and yet it feels like forever.
It boggles me that we can go from being this...

To this! in what feels like the blink of an eye. And yet there's so many years, so many memories. And I have to say, this boy has filled many a year and memory of mine and I would have it no other way.

He's my best friend and has seen me at my best, and my worst. He's seen me in elegance, and in fits of weeping hysteria and he's still here.
I'm excited and anxious to say that my beloved has a meeting with his CG recruiter on Friday and I am trying very hard to shush the selfish part of me that wants to scream "Don't go! Stay with me!" I keep reminding myself that this is a good thing for him, and good thing for us. That it's a new chapter, a new adventure. But this silly, grinning face has always lived no more than 10 minutes away from me for 15 years. I've grown accustomed to, and have been spoiled by seeing him so often and not thinking twice about it.
But I know that once the separation comes it wont be forever.

And it's all the the adventures that are to come after that separation that I look forward to...together.
