Love Knows No Distance

Since nobody reads my blogs I kind of figure it's a good outlet for me to put down all of the things I can't say out loud...so here goes.

Brandon and I got married on August 29, 2014. We had a very, very, very small wedding at my aunt's house. One of my oldest friends was there to witness with her husband. It was very nice, very small and very much exactly what I wanted. Here's the catch, we haven't told our parents yet. We really didn't want to tell anyone, not because it's like this huge secret, no one is pregnant, nothing like that. We wanted to have this time together where we could just be married and not have people have to put their two cents into everything. The only thing is. although we're legally married we are still living in two different states, which is problematic. The marriage is a good thing but it's so much harder being in a long distance relationship while you're married to when you're just dating.

We had made a plan, over a year ago, that I would move down to Houston, get a job and get into school. While I was doing that I was also supposed to start fixing up a house on some family property so Brandon and I could live there. Brandon was supposed to follow me down to Houston, he was just going to take a little longer as he needed to get transferred with Verizon. However, as life would have it, that didn't happen. Brandon couldn't get transferred and then the original nine month plan turned into a year and then he decided he wanted to join the military (a choice I completely support) and the attempt to transfer stopped and here we are. Married, only seen each other a handful of times over the past year and we're both completely miserable.

Solution? I'm going to move back to Kansas. We're looking at renting a house in Salina, hopefully I will be moved by the first of the year. I basically hate living in Houston, although a big city does have its perks, I love Kansas. Besides, I need to be away from my family. They drive me absolutely crazy and I can't stand it. And Brandon needs to be out of his dads house, he's been living there for the past few years after his roommate didn't want to renew their lease. It'll be good all around, and the best part is that we'll be a real married couple who lives together. I can't wait :)

Love knows no distance, and it shouldn't have to...
