My boy

So... my boy is leaving to join the Air Force real soon. I wasn't planning on meeting anyone and neither was he but we fell hard for each other anyway... now he leaves soon and I'm really going to miss him... now I can handle the fact that he'll be gone and all, but what I can't handle is that what I know from experience that long distance relationships fade away..... how can I keep us from growing distant from each other??

I've never had a long distance relationship, but my sisters husband is in the army. All I can say is make the times when he's home special, have fun, laugh and love eachother.

I think the same things apply as to any relationship really, Read nads relationship post, I'll find it and bump it for you.

I can relate...my bf is from the UK and im from Australia. Im currently living in the UK but the longest period we've been apart in the last two years is about 3 months and every now and then i go home for a month or so. Not sure how long till you see your guy again but we kept our relationship going by lots of contact: over the phone, internet, pictures, web cam, etc. Constant contact was thing main thing that got us through such long periods apart and kept the relationship alive. Goodluck *hugs*

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
