Breath of Fresh Air

I had the opportunity to spend the weekend with Peter. It was the first time we've seen each other since he graduated BMT. It was a weekend long awaited and MUCH NEEDED. And the first time we'd been able to spend any relax time just the two of us in about three months. I didn't realize how much I needed to see him until I was able to actually see him.
I needed to see him to be reminded of who he is. When your guy lives so far away, and you see him so little, and he's gone through major life changes because of the military I know that I need that reminder that he is the same person I fell in love with. This weekend reminded me that he's a real person. That he's still there. I was able to put a face with the real life struggles he is going through.
Even though he's been in tech school for over a month I find myself still adjusting to life with him there. We're used to a long-distance relationship, but now the time we have to talk/see each other revolves around his schedule. Which is fine...just different. I have to be able to completely let go of my expectations of when I get to talk to him. It's a daily challenge for me. All of which made having a weekend with him absolutly amazing. No uniform, no curfew, no watching over shoulders...just him and I.

Getting to hold hands in PUBLIC!!
