I’m going to sum us up in a few bullets, then ask you for advice:

• We’ve known each other for 6 years
• We’ve been together for three years
• Lived together for 1 and a half years
• Engaged for 7 months
• Still have 13 more to go! (January 2010 wedding)
• I am going to be living on the opposite coast for 3 months (Boston, MA –> Portland, OR) - February through April - for work. We knew about this when we got engaged which is the reason for our long-ish engagement.

So here’s where I need advice. We’ve never not been within a 20-minute drive and we’ve been living together and so we’re both pretty nervous about these three months!  I know it’s only three months, but to us, that’s an eternity! We will probably see each other once, maybe twice during the three months.

For all the bees out there that are currently in or have ever been in a long distance relationship, do you have any advice? Any things that help to keep your relationship strong during the times you don’t see each other? Any ways of getting through the days without counting down the minutes until you get to see them again?  I apologize for my sappy ways — any and all advice (including, “you’re crazy, it’s only three months!”) are welcome!

Thanks!
