Just know that Ive never stopped caring.
-Beyond
Two years ago today, I kissed you for the very first time. I never would have guessed that something so small would change our lives in such a big way.
There are so many things I could say and I’ve said most of them way too many times as it is. To keep it short, you mean more to me than I can put in words. I love you so much.
This year’s anniversary is weird for us as I suppose it serves as a comma for our future, and I don’t like that one bit. But please, let’s keep it a comma and not let it become a period. Thank you for loving me even though I make stupid analogies.
I wish so badly I could spend this special day with you. Thank you so much for these past two years. Happy birthday to my laughter, my inspiration, my frustration, my happiness, my hope, my best friend, my everything. I love you always.
My Dearest Beyond.
Sometimes things don’t happen the way we plan. Sometimes “infinity” is a hard goal to reach. But goodness knows we tried.
Week Thirty Five: 4/29/12
Hi again! This is the photo for the weekend of April 28-29 an, lo and behold, today is April 29th! This one is actually on time. (: What with my prom dress finally being done (praise da Lord!) and that huge weight finally being removed from my shoulders, hopefully I will return to a system of timeliness again, for the short amount of time remaining that I must do these pictures. Because guess what? These are just until we are together again, and that is very soon? I’m so lucky to have a boy as sweet as you. You make me very happy. I love you so much and I miss you equally so, but not for much longer. (: I just remembered I was planning to write you a poem on this, but my intentions were forgotten. Oh well, next week! PS you owe me a zoo date like on this day after we rocked the ACTs. (: Thank you for everything you are.
Much love, Infinity.
Week Thirty Four: “4/21/12”
I’m late. Again. So technically it’s April 29th but we’re going to pretend it’s the weekend of April 21-22, kay? (: This snaggle-toothed giraffe is from Bussey’s, where we must go when you are here SOON! Do you realize you should be here in like one month? That will be nice. I’m so glad we’ve made it through these tough times together and I’m even more glad it’s almost over! Our picture stack is so short. (: I love it. WHAT I JUST REALIZED THE PICTURES HAVE TITLES ON THE BACK. I circled the word “giraffe” for you to see. Why did I just now notice that?! Anyways, you’re great and I love you. Even though I fall behind on pictures you mean the world to me and I’m so glad I’m your girl.
Love always, Infinity.
Dear Beyond,
FINALLY, I am caught up again. I wish my life would slow down. I want to make you one of my top priorities again because I feel like I’m just slipping oh so much. I’m stressed all the time, but you’re always there for me. You always try to help me relax and reassure me that things will be okay. I don’t always accept your assistance because I kind of just shut down to any outside help when I’m majorly stressin’, but I want to thank you so much for what you do regardless of my reactions. I’m just lucky, and that’s all there is to it. You mean so much to me. I can’t wait to see you in a few weeks, hopefully! I love you a lot. Love, Infinity
Week Thirty One-Week Thirty Three: 4/16/12
My dearest boy-
Well, these photos are not related at all. However, you’re getting them both to make up for the past two weeks of me being a terrible girlfriend who didn’t send you pictures. I pinky promise I didn’t forget. I have just had no time for luxuries such as, ya know, writing letters to my love and breathing and such. I will be so glad when this overly busy and stressful time of year is over. I will also be glad when you are here again! (: At this point, I can’t honestly say I will be glad when we are both there, simply because the prospect of growing up and moving on from this place I’ve lived for so long is becoming so real and scary. But I know that will change and I know you’ll be there for me every step of the way to help me adjust and get used to my new life. I really love you a lot. I am lucky to have you. I wish I could still do cute things for you, like make you nice crafts and such. I’ve probably said it so many times, but I promise I will do my best to be your great girl again as soon as I am able. Thank you for sticking by my side. Can you believe how far we’ve made it? Not much longer to go! (: On a different note, it’s so strange that in these pictures your hair is long and mine is short (especially in the ukelele/spring break one!) and now it is the opposite! Have I mentioned how handsome you look with your hair cut? (: I love you and I’ll see you pretty soon!
Love always, Infinity.
Week Twenty Eight-Week Thirty 1/2: 3/29/12
Hi! I think I might owe you pictures for the past two weeks…? :l Or maybe just last week, I’m not sure! Regardless, you’re getting a three-part photo set just to be safe! So anyways, you have been here for the past week and being able to spend time with you has been so nice! I do not want you to leave. Not one bit. But like we talked about, it shouldn’t be too long this time until we see each other again! (: And pretty soon after that I’ll be going up there and we’ll only be three hours away from one another! Which isn’t a bike ride, but it’s certainly not a journey requiring two days either! (well, if I don’t learn how to drive soon it may take two days or so for me to get to you by bike or by foot. But, ya know. It’s whatever.) The point is, we will be so much closer. And it will be so nice. I miss you a lot when we’re apart, and I think sometimes I just get so busy and stressed with life and such that I forget exactly how much you mean to me and how much I miss you for a while. This visit has definitely made me remember those things though, and I’m glad. I don’t ever want to lose sight of that. We’re so lucky to have what we have, because not everyone gets to fall in love with their best friend and actually have it work out. I’m so glad that so far we’ve been an exception. I wouldn’t trade what we have for anything. Who else would tolerate my ugly faces and obnoxious sounds and tendency to worry about everything? And who else would tolerate YOUR ugly faces and your meanness and…stuff? (; I love you. We love each other. And that’s good. Even though you have half a dozen boyfriends, I love knowing I’m your girl. I hope you always know you’re my boy, and my favorite one at that. I hope we always love each other. Additionally, I will be so glad when I can stop being so stressfully busy and start making you lots of unnecessary crafts again. I owe you a ton of them. Oh, I should probably also mention the memories associated with these photos! This was our fancy IHOP date, and one of my many favorite ones. Your neighbors watched us take these. I GUESS THEY JUST LIKE TO WATCH. (; And then we got strange looks from some people at IHOP and endearing looks from others. Also the orange juice was yellow and matched my dress. And then we went to the park and I cried because you were leaving soon after. Here we are, nearly seven months later, and you’re about to leave again. But this time it won’t be for quite so long. (: I’m so glad we’ve made this work for so long. I never really had doubts about our ability to do so, but it’s just so nice to see that it really has. I can’t wait to see you again in a few months, my love. I know it’ll go by quickly, but I hate to see you go. (Before I go too much further, I need to address the fact that I threw in this photo because I had more to say than I realized! 9th grade. You were Hagrid, and a viking hat symbolized our love. (: ) Anyways, stay safe on your trip back to Kentucky! And make the most of your last bit of time there without me! (; Hurry home soon, boogerhead, so that I can be Home again. Because “home is whenever I’m with you.” I love you. To Infinity and Beyond. Can’t wait until we’re 23. (:
Love always, always, always, Infinity.
Week Twenty Seven: 3/11/12
Oh hey, Spring Break picture! I’m going there tomorrow! Not to Biloxi, but at least to Mississippi! I wish you could be going with me. :( Last year’s spring break evokes really happy and really sad emotions. The sad being that it was the last time I saw my Granny. I don’t really like thinking about that. But the happy part(s) are the fact that you got to meet her, the fact that it was a really nice trip, and the fact that Spring Break is like our “anniversary #3” because that’s when the togetherness of us became really obvious and then you asked for permission to date me. (: I miss you a lot. I also wish to add that this is another photo of us that I love a lot. Additionally, the shirt you are wearing is now in my possession! And coincidentally, I am probably wearing parts of this outfit tomorrow! I also really like the picture of us from this same day in which I’m wearing my Indian headdress and I believe you are shooting me with a finger gun or something? For some reason I did not include it in “Project Until We’re Together Again” though. Instead, you get the one where we’re being eaten by an alligator! Or crocodile? SPEAKING OF BEING TOGETHER AGAIN I really hope you are able to visit at the end of this month! That would be really excellent. I wish I could just sped all of my time with you if you do. :l But oh well. Soon enough, we’ll be together all the time. I can’t wait until you’re the first thing I see every morning. I love you a lot. OH and just because this is the weekend closest to our Frienaversary that already passed, I’m going to wish you a Happy Late Frienaversary once more! It’s been a great three years of having you as a best friend. (: You are my favorite boy on the planet and I love you so much. (sorry if portions of this aren’t coherent. It’s late!)
Much love, Infinity.
Week Twenty Six: 3/2/12
Whuddup, double/triple chins. This is one of our most awkward pictures and I like it even though its pretty embarrassing. YOU ARE MY STRONG MAN OF STEEL. Hehe. I miss you. I wish I could come up with a better way to say that, because it’s basically the same thing all the time. I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. Maybe I’ll come up with something better eventually. Anyhow, I’m pretty glad you didn’t get blown away in a tornado today. I don’t know how I’d visit you in the Land of Oz. I hope you know how much I love you even though I often forget to make it clear when I get so caught up in other things. But I do love you, so much. This weeks picture probably wins the award for “most choppy ever” because I’m pretty sleepy and my brain keeps jumping around. Because I generally like to talk about the pictures as well, I will say that this is from the summer after 10th grade, I believe. And…yes. I wish we weren’t so far apart. I love you always.
Love, Infinity.
Our journey's exact beginning is hard to pinpoint. Its end is nowhere in sight as of now.
But it's taking a major turn; September 10, 2011 marks the beginning of our year apart.
940 miles is a long way, but our hope is that this experience will bring us closer together. Only time will tell.
This blog is dedicated to love that lasts to Infinity and Beyond.
