Currently blogging with Zach (my formerly long distance boo-thang) and favorite aspie. Feel free to send us asks while we’re both here! :)

Can I just say I love dating Zachary from Memphis and not from Knoxville?

I’m always like “man I won’t get to go see him for 3 days” instead of the former “man I won’t get to see him for 4 MONTHS.”

And this weekend, we will have been together here in Memphis for 3 months. :) According to research, LDR’s that make it long enough to move to eachother, and then long enough to last 3 months rarely ever break up. We keep joking that at the end of this week we’re officially *never* gonna end it. ;)

Hang in there, LDR’s. You can do this. You can make it.

tomorrow morning I move across the state and start a new chapter of my life in Memphis with Zachary. wish me luck! I’ll update soon. :)

At night when I’m laying in bed and thinking lovely thoughts about living near Zachary and all that noise.. I realize I’m moving to Memphis and get really really nervous and scared. Because Memphis is unlike any other city I’ve ever lived in. It’s more urban, it’s larger, and the crime is waaay greater. I’m just really nervous something could happen. I don’t know. All of my fear and nervousness from every aspect of moving to a new city is concentrating itself into making me terrified of the actual city. :( Some days are easier, some days are harder dealing with this fear. I’m talking to Zach’s best friend about if my fear is justified and he just told me I’ll be fine as long as I use some street smarts— aka don’t go out alone at night, lock my doors, etc. and that I’m probably just nervous about all the changes involved with a big move. I feel better. He’s not worried at all and he’s gone to the U of M for 3 years. I just felt the need to talk a little more about my fears. I’m not scared of relationship problems but I’m scared of the big city, it seems. haha

I know this post was rambly, sorry. Needed to spill so I could sleep! 

2 WEEKS UNTIL I MOVE

2 WEEKS UNTIL WE’RE NOT A LONG DISTANCE COUPLE

2 WEEKS UNTIL THE REST OF MY LIFE

I get to live in the same city as him on (at the latest!) July 10th!

We gonna be all like

put a deposit on my future home and spent time with the Yeti. time well spent. :)

So I was having a chat with Zach today about how social I am lately..

It’s like, I love hanging with my friends. But every other time I’ve been home the moment I woke up I would be blowing up everyone’s phone looking for people to hang out with. 

Now, it’s like.. I wake up and chill. And read new recipes and plan dinners. And if I go out, I go alone to hang out at pet stores and book stores. And if I talk to someone a lot, it’s because I called Zach or people wanted to hang out with me.

It’s not a negative thing, and I definitely want to hang out with my friends. But we’ve definitely noted a more introverted streak in me lately. Which neither of us minds. haha I was like “so you still like me as long as I just want to go to pet stores and look at items for pets I don’t have yet and get excited and go to book stores and read all afternoon and hang out at home and be snuggly?” and he was like “….I love you.” 

hahaha so that’s a yes. also he’s mentioned “when we live together” more and more. *squeak* I love him. I love that he’s thinking about it. I love that he thinks about our future married live so much. <3

In 3 hours I board a bus to go see my Zachary. I won’t update my tumblr for like a week-ish. I’m not going to be on the internet much and I’ll be focusing on us. :) Spring break 2012! Everyone have a good week. :)

3 more school days until I’m with him again and I can hardly handle my excitement! 

So I felt like doing a little life update. :)

My fitness journey has been a beautifully rewarding one so far. I am happy knowing that everything I’m putting into it is being given back, in a way. I’m happy knowing I’ve invested so much hard work into myself, for once. People may compliment me, my boyfriend may enjoy this, but it was for me. People liked me before, Zach loved me before. I wasn’t doing this to gain affection. But I’m definitely becoming more proud of myself and my growing strength each day. :) 

Oh, and I’m officially employed now. I know I’ve mentioned I got hired by Waffle House on here before, but now I’m done with training and making good money on those 8 hour shifts. And my coworkers are the bomb. I love it! And my personality really lends itself to working with people, so that’s really nice. I hope to keep making good money until I transfer to Memphis and have to find a new job. Maybe another Waffle House will hire me.. :)

Zach and I had a little rough patch a while back there, but now we’re better than ever. He’s looking at getting a job at Lowe’s. I’m really proud of him for trying to get out there and find a job. I can’t wait to see him Saturday morning. I’m gonna snuggle the living hell out of that boy. :D I miss his face and his stubble and his hugs. I miss hearing his voice in person. 

So, overall things are good. :) I’m just counting down the days until I can see him.

I need more cuteness on my feed. I’ve gotten a lot of fitspo lately, and I love and want all of it! But my blog is also really centered around love and my LDR, so if you think your blog falls into that category, definitely like/reblog and I’ll probably follow you. :)

until I see my boo again. I might make my calorie intake and food choices a little stricter(nothing crazy, I’m still going to be healthy!) until I see him, just for that extra push. Especially since I’ve had to fudge working out these past few days with my hurt leg muscle. :( I want to look extra nice for my boo thang! 

Not that I’m getting fit for him, this is for me. But I want to be extra impressive. I’m sure someone out there gets what I’m talking about. haha. I want him to see how hard I’ve been working this semester. And hopefully I can swing dropping another pant size by then so I can get those super cute skinnies at Wet Seal to be showing off my recently becoming extra fine, extra tone booty. ;D

Zach,

I can’t even describe how proud you’ve made me these last few days. You’re really starting to show that you’ve been the perfect man all along. You were always perfect in every way, but now you’re letting your responsibility and strength show. I am so impressed by you, every day. I love you.

cuteness. my boyfriend has stopped saying “when we’re married” and has starting saying “when we have our life together” instead. I think it’s precious. I cherish him. :) I sent him a very heartfelt letter today.

Update to my upset “we haven’t talked as much :’( post” earlier tonight:

We talked for a good while tonight. :) I told him *all* of the things and he was really sweet about it. We’re going to chat after I work out tomorrow. I think things are going to be a little better. I think part of my problem is I’ve gotten to the point where I love and trust him so much more than any other guy I’ve dated, because he’s the first that marriage and all that other crazy future stuff is a possibility. So these normal patches of relationship turbulence kinda shake me up more than they would normally, which is a lot considering how much of a spaz I can be. I think the longer we’re together, the trend of getting less scared will continue. I don’t see him leaving me. I just need to get more secure in the reality that he’s not going to abandon me. :)
