A little faith for those who doubt LDR. It can work!

I have been with my boyfriend since July 5, 2015 we have been long distance since we first met each other on zwinky in 2014. He started as my best friend and helped me so much I could talk to him about anything. As we continued to text over the year our feelings grew. I had a crush on him the whole time but I didnt think I stood a chance with him even though I always told my friends “ just watch he’ll be mine one day” one night July 5th it was like 3 am he messaged me asking me what would I say if he told me he liked me. I couldn’t believe what I had read I was soo happy. We both confessed our feelings had a heart to heart and he asked me to be his girlfriend. We met when I was 18 and he was 20 now I’m 21 and he’s 24.

He is from Texas I am from Kentucky (19 hours away, 1,277 miles) we talked everyday texting then it went to facetime calls and now we talk on the phone and play video games together practically all day.

I met him in person the first time in October 2017 and as I’ve said before it was easily my favorite memory and one of the best days of my life. It went way better than I even imagined it would go. I cried so much when I had to leave him each time. So much tried to stand in my way of meeting him including my dad. I’m 21 thou and I knew I was ready and I was the only one who didn’t doubt him for a second. He was such a gentleman and treats me so good. I stayed a week in October then came home then went back on December 9, 2017 and stayed with him until January 5, 2018.

This was my first time ever flying on an airplane and I had to do it alone but knowing I was going to meet him I didnt care how nervous or scared I was. I was determined to make it happen.

I met his friends and family. His family was so shocked to finally see me. They had heard so much about me and said I was the first girl he’s ever brought home and to meet the family. His friends were so nice and even felt like I was their friend too (even thou your boyfriend’s friends aren’t your friends! Lol) his family always asks him where I am when they have get togethers and I’m not there especially his precious granny♥️

I applied for a University where he lives got accepted and now we’re moving in together this summer! Please don’t feel like just because you’re long distance that it can’t work. If two people love each other enough and put the effort into the relationship long distance is such a beautiful thing!

I’m going back May 22nd to look for apartments and finalize my college stuff. Only 5 days and I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself 😂 I can’t wait to see my baby again. I even get to meet his dad’s side of the family this time. I love him so much he’s still my best friend/ boyfriend till this day. The inly person I dont get tired of. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us! 💕💕

***UPDATE***UPDATE***UPDATE😁😁***

Sorry for such a late update 😬 I’ve been so busy with things. So I was only planning on staying a week or two when I visited in May but that turned into a month since we kept putting off my flight. I actually bought a flight back home June 13th and he talked me into purposely missing my flight and said he would come back with me if I could wait till the 22nd so that’s what we did seemed like a no brainer to me lol I was getting more time with him (couldn’t cancel my flight considering I had bought it the 11th for like $84 so wasnt a big deal compared to the usual $400+ flights)😋

Honestly best decision I’ve made now he’s staying in Kentucky with me until I move to Texas this month and we’ll be renting our first place together ☺️ It’s amazing knowing we dont have to worry about being long distance and being away from each other anymore😁💕 words cant describe how blessed I feel to always have him with me now! Waiting out the distance to be with my soulmate forever was definitely worth it! (Currently watching him play a video game then gonna cuddle and watch Netflix till we go to sleep) almost 3 years dating and the long distance is finally closed 😍

Didn’t take many pictures but here’s a couple of me and my big baby (he’s always sleeping on me) ignore my no makeup face and his wild hair 😂😂😂 he wasnt very happy when he found the pictures of him asleep on me 😬😅🤷🏻‍♀️
