Countless miles

This is our first long separation. We have spent summers apart doing school and camp as well as observing our brief, summer, military obligations. But this will last for twenty-seven months, and in case you haven't been staying up-to-date on these posts, that's how long Evan and I have been together.

This will not be easy for either of us. Nor will it be easy for either of our families. We do have a few strategies which we will try out while we are apart. One of which is sending emails to each other as frequently as we can. And we each have cameras and memory cards where we will video a message and mail it to the other so that we may see and hear each other. This should work fairly well up until one gets lost in the mail or goes overboard and finds Nemo.

I will have many more hours of free time, so I have come up with goals and things I want to do this semester. One big one is to train for a half-marathon. I will write more about these goals later as well as updates. So, check back later this week for more on that.
