Dear Kody,

Moving hours away from you was one of the hardest things that I’ve ever done. Ever since we started dating, (so, like, for FOREVER!) we’ve lived like 10 minutes apart and I’ve gotten to see you almost every day and you’ve always been right there when I needed anything. And even though I know that you’re still there when I need you, it’s just so much different now that I can only call you on the phone instead of showing up at your house.

Now that we’re seeing each other a lot less, it pains me so much, and I know that it does you too. Still, I plan to continue doing my best to make sure that I am able to see you as much as possible and call, text, or FaceTime you anytime that I can! Starting college and living so far apart is a crazy, new, and difficult experience for both of us, but I know that we can make it through this! When you’re meant to be, you don’t let something like distance ruin your relationship, you let it make it grow even stronger. I know that college makes our relationship more difficult, but it doesn’t make our dream future any less of a reality. I found this quote the other day that I think is PERFECT for us. It says - “We are the perfect couple, we’re just not in the perfect situation...distance doesn’t end true love, it just makes it stronger.” I think that this is so true for us! By being away from somebody, you learn how much you really love them and it makes you realize just how important and necessary having a future with them is.

I miss you all the time. I can’t wait until the next time that I get to see you; it always seems like we never have enough time together. The times that I get to spend with you now are cherished so much, though. I knew that when I moved away, it’d be hard not getting to see you as much, but I didn't know that it’d be this hard! You really should transfer so that we don’t have to be so far apart and we could see each other every day! Right now, I really wish that I could just hop in my car and come home to see you again! I love getting to see you so much! It keeps me sane for all the days that we’re apart. If only there were more free days in both of our schedules so we could get to see each other more often! But I know that we can’t change that, so I cherish every second that we’re together. Still, no matter how many times I get to see you while I’m away, I don’t think it will ever get any less exciting! I miss all the sweet things you say to me and thinking about it makes me miss you even more.

Seeing you so much less now makes our times together even more special! I’m always counting down the days until we get to see each other again! Just remember that I’m always going to be her for you, no matter what, even though we’re living far apart and going to different schools. No matter if it’s for a long, deep conversation, or just help with homework, know that I’m always only a phone call away! I love you so much babe!

Love,

Cortney
