Welcome!

Welcome to a whole blog dedicated to you!

While you're gone, I don't want time to slip away while you miss events or mundane daily activities that could disconnect you from your family, friends, or from me so I'm offering up a venue through which you can stay connected to whomever contributes.

I'll try to post as often as I can, and, if I can figure it out, have others give you a rundown of their day so you never feel far from home. Save this URL somewhere for when you get downtime and Internet; hopefully it will always cheer you up.

I know some days will just, frankly, suck, and I'll want nothing more than to watch sappy movies and to snuggle, but for both our sakes, I'll try to (publicly) keep those days to a minimum. I will try not to wish away time, but I'll confess, while in a lovey mood, that I will miss you, think of you and love you every day.

Since I'm in class, and should not be writing up a blog post for you, I'll quickly summarize:

I'll be sending you lots of letters, emails, Facebook messages etc., as well, so watch out for this overabundance of love coming your way.

We have so many adventures to take on when you get back, thousands of plans to take off hold, and (non-metaphorical) mountains to climb that I know nine months will seem obsolete in the grand scheme.

I'm proud of everything you are and do, and the most heroic thing you can do for me is to come back to me safely and quickly without taking unnecessary risks.

I'll wait for you until the ends of the earth, but would prefer less than a year if we can work that out.

Be safe, my love, and remember all the people who are here for you while you're gone and when you come back.
