Fiance (FI) and I have been together for 6 years. A year and a half of that were spent in high school. We were as serious as you can get for a high school couple and decided to at least try to stay together when we went to college. He chose Michigan Tech located at the edge of the Earth and I chose a small private college in semi-civilization. We have been nearly 500 miles apart ever since.
Odds were against us, especially since we both changed so much over the last 5 years. But we made it and are more in love now then we have ever been. Go figure.
Things had always seemed to be extra hard for us, so of course we couldn't graduate the same year. FI had done several internships at Caterpillar which tacked on an extra year for him. So there I was, graduated and there was NO WAY I was moving to the artic where he was. I lucked out for once, and got a great job close to my family in the same city I attended college.
This last year has been the hardest. Probably because we know it's so close to being over. It's almost like we're on autopilot with our only thought being "1 more year, 8 more months, 6 more months, 4 more months...."

I've been wanting to start a blog for awhile, but could not decide what I wanted to blog about. My first thought was, "who would want to read anything I write?" But then I started thinking... with so many thoughts and experiences, I want to be able to share them with others.
Here is some background on me and maybe you can relate to some of my situations or maybe you'll find some of them humorous, either way, I hope you enjoy my postings!
I graduated college in May 2008. (I know, what a time to be looking for a job! But I lucked out a found a job I enjoy close to my family.) In July of 2008, by boyfriend of 5 years received a great job offer and proposed. It looked like things were going great and after having had a long distance relationship since we graduated high school all I could think about was being with him every day.
Then just after Christmas, we received a hard blow. The job we had been counting on no longer exsisted due to job cuts in expectation of the economy. So now, we are still planning a wedding (over the phone, may I add...) but we have no idea where we will end up and what awaits us there. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, so I'm sure there is something better coming along. Things always work out....someway or another.
