long distance

I am in the same kind of situation. My fiance is in the Navy and has been in Japan for over 8 months while I am trying to graduate college in the US. I still have 6 months to go before I can see him, and even then it is only about three days before the wedding! I have found that it is best to take joy in the small things. I am very glad that we live in a time where communication is a lot easier. A Web cam is helpful and, depending on your relationship, I find the most comfort when we can have a long conversation somehow. That is the only way that we are able to share our lives. Also, try not to wish away the time that you have to spend apart. There are good things happening right now, whether it is more time with family or friends, or some good alone time. Learn to cherish it because huge changes are on the way!

I think cute smss are always one of the best ways to brighten someone's day :)

I know that feeling. I just got married a couple of weeks ago, and my husband and I are currently living in different countries. He's in Arizona USA and I'm in Ontario Canada, until we get the paperwork done and we can live in the same country. It really hurts to be apart.
