Our Relationship

To some it makes no sense. Others never thought it would last. Many don't know how we do it and give us props because we are making it work. To us, its just our life. We are over 1,000 miles apart but it's our relationship and it is how we function. He calls me every night. I text him every morning. I know his schedule as well as I know my own and vice versa. We make it work. Every month I have a letter from him that I get to open and read. Of course I miss him and yes we have rough days but we have a connection. One I never have had with anyone. It's almost like we don't know better. We were only together for a little more than a month before I moved away and we have been together for almost two years now. Being with him, just makes sense. We have moments. It is never awkward. The silence never feels as if it has to be broken. It just works.

He makes me happy. Genuinely happy and I don't know where I'd be without him.

I'm In A Place I Never Thought I Would Be

I live in a small town. I live in Montana. I live where it snows. 

Never did I think that I would be here. I am one of 89 in my graduating class when less than a year ago I was one of 600. I am a cheerleader. That is something I never thought I would say and I actually enjoy it. Being a senior in high school is nothing like I thought it would be. I know that if I still lived in Arizona this last year of high school would be completely different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. If I still lived in Arizona I would be able to see my boyfriend more than three times a year. I wouldn't be creating a yearbook that is practically my baby or be pushing my limits by being a cheerleader. I might have more friends and more of a social life. But I wouldn't be experiencing all these new things like snow. 

So I guess this move hasn't been all bad. There is a bright side to every situation. Would I ever choose to live here? No absolutely not. Do I miss the warmth and sunshine in January? So much. I even miss the 100 plus degree weather in August. Call me crazy.

This place has its perks and I could see why people stay here all there lives. But its isn't for me. The nearest mall is 30 minutes away and its a crappy mall. Same as Target and Costco. That is just not the life for me. If I am bored, I want to drive 10 minutes and be able to go to a shopping center or a mall.

So my point is this is a place I didn't think I would ever live. It may even be the last place I thought I would end up. Well maybe not the last.
