It's not for everyone.

Nobody said it was gonna be easy.....Ah the perils of a long-distance relationship! The excitement, the devotion, Glorious meet-ups, long goodbyes, the best phone plans, Westjet seat sale scrambles....Possibly the longest 6 months of my life, but relationship-wise, the most truthful, mellow and committed one I think I've ever had.
My girlfriend lives 10 hours away on the other side of the Rockies, thus being just far enough, and a possible winter weather nightmare away from being a easy, feasible drive for the most part...But through the somewhat "affordability" of Canada's favorite airline (NOT Air Canada) we see each other once every 4-6 weeks. I'd like to say I'm getting used to it, But I miss her more every time.
We are on the "One Year Plan" - No one is moving anywhere in the first 12 months because we want to be goddamn sure this truly is the good times. I promised myself no more co-habitation after the messy collapse of a few previous bouts of "playing house". As much as I hate that stupid U-HAUL joke...I know its true.
All and all this love affair is a lot of work and money to maintain, but it's real, it's healthy, and we still have our lives and space...Plus its always nice to get away for the weekend.....even if it is to northern Alberta in the winter.
