this video of us was taken from our first real date 2 years ago…
2 YEARS LATER.
This guy…
We’ve have had so many ups and downs that no roller coaster can compare to. We’ve fought. We’ve have hurt and gotten hurt. We’ve changed. We’ve had times where we drifted apart. We’ve had times where we haven’t talked for weeks. We’ve had times where we’ve fallen right on the border between love and friendship.
…but through it all, despite all our mistakes and imperfections, we’ve grown to love each other no matter what the situation may be.
I feel like this year went by so fast. I thought it was only a few months ago that I left the Philippines…but no. I haven’t seen my boyfriend for over a year already. Even though I don’t get to see him everyday or share the same experiences as other couples that are together constantly, I feel like this year we have gotten even closer than ever.
Our relationship was hitting a rocky path last year when we had difficulties with communication, but I’m glad that we were able to get through it and strengthen our relationship even more. It’s not a coincidence that through this long distance relationship, we were taught how to be more mature. We learned that we simply cannot depend on our parents for everything. He started to look for work and so did I. We learned to become more understanding of each other’s time. Now that work was involved, we couldn’t spend the already few hours simply chatting or skyping with one another because of the fifteen/sixteen hour time difference.
Our communication resulted to few texts/messages here and there every morning or evening before or after work. We just had to learn to accept it. If we loved each other truly, we would cherish the few moments we did have together…And that’s what we did and are still doing.
Our relationship isn’t perfect at all, but I’d pick this situation any day as long as I know that somewhere out there in this great big world, God has been molding me to be patient, understanding, and loving to a great man of God who loves me.
Lord, please continue to bless and guide our relationship. Help us to remain in Your will and trust in You for any decisions we make. Thank You for showing me that someone was out there all along waiting to love me. Thank You for all of the blessings and provision over the past two years that You have already given. Please Lord, help us to remember to always put You as our foundation. Thank You once again for everything, Lord. Amen.
Happy 2nd Anniversary love! (12/27/11) <3
