Shouting In The Empty Room

Oh, hai, blog.

I hadn’t forgotten about you. At least not forgotten forgotten. Life, though, has gotten in the way a lot in the last (almost) year.

But I’m back. Because this, I feel, is important. We have a story! And it’s a good one! And I’mma gonna keep you better updated.

So here’s an update.

Year One

Hey, we’ve been Long-Distance Married for an ENTIRE YEAR. We figured out that we spent about three months of that time actually together, and you know it actually worked out. And it is, and this is the cool part, better than ever.

Some of the time we were together wasn’t for the happiest of reasons (more on that here), but we managed it. Like any marriage, we’re creating it, mindfully as we go along. That sounds a lot like Conscious Coupling or whatever such crap, but it’s true.

Every couple creates their marriage as they’re in it. And if you don’t, it’s going to die.

So one year down. An undetermined number of years to go. But we’re looking forward to them.

We did get to spend our first anniversary together, because Mark actually surprised me (and more on that to come too … surprising your Long Distance Spouse is pretty fun). We had a getaway at the end of March when I was in Scotland, and then through an elaborate and well-supported team of merry men and women, he got to Blacksburg for our actual anniversary.

We’re lucky.

As of this writing, we have 52 more days until the next Time Together. And that’s going to be a doozy.
