Do you ever go on vacation and find yourself sleeping in more and more? Yeah, that's happening to me. It's 10 am and Sam and I were supposed to go to Tonto's National Bridge in Payson today, but it may be too late. He is still sleeping, so I'll just wait until he wakes up. It is SO hard waking up Sam! I swear he can sleep through an earthquake and tornado at the same time. Sound doesn't wake him up, and neither does poking. No, you have to roll him over and shake him until he wakes up! It's a work out I tell you haha.

Yesterday was a lazy day, just watched a few movies and swam and had lunch. It wasn't the happiest of days either, lots of arguing. To me, that will happen. Not being together for 5 1/2 months, then being together 24/7 for a few weeks will be difficult. We are still learning from each other and understanding our behaviors and how to act around each other. We are both very sensitive, strong, opinionated people. When one gets frustrated or mad, it bounces to the other person making them unhappy. We talk about the problem, never keep it inside. Maybe it will take a few hours to talk about it, but we always do. That's what I like about us: we don't keep things inside. We are usually civil about our discussions, but we hardly yell (sometimes I wish we did just to get our anger out). For the most part, I an SO proud of where we are today. We have both made huge mistakes that we aren't proud of, but for being 7000 miles away 90% of the time, we are doing pretty damn good. People have to remember we aren't a normal couple, and we will never be. We have to make more sacrifices then most couples, and have more understanding. But to people who are in a long distance, it IS possible. It is hard for those who start in a normal relationship then move to LD, but it isn't impossible. Normal couples have the luxury of knowing they will talk to their partner later in the day, and seeing them in the evening. I don't. Skype works 50% of the time, and our texts sometimes never reach each other, leaving hours of not knowing what happened. Email rarely gets to the other person, and sending letters is a joke because they get lost. Facebook/Gmail doesn't work when Skype doesn't work... it's just a long hard process JUST to say hello and I Love You.

Blah enough about this. I go on rants when talking about this :P

Now off to go get some breakfast and hopefully still be on the road in an hour or so. Really want him to see this! Oh, and Sam is HOT HOT HOT. He has never seen temperatures reach this high before, poor guy. It's hot for me, imagine how he feels!

Okay I'll write later and post pictures! Need to learn to do that anyways :D

Have a great day!
