Today was my first full day with Kody being over 300 miles away. It's actually the first day we've had apart since our wedding over two months ago. I feel like a fairly independent person, but this distance is rough. I'm really not sure how military couples handle the distance, because it's tough on me, and I know it is difficult on him, too. You become so used to having someone in your life that when they have to move out, you feel so lonely. So vulnerable.
I plan to visit him as often as I can and I plan to make this work. I don't know how long I'll be able to handle the distance, but I'm going to try my hardest to busy myself with work for the next three years while he's in school.
We knew when we got married there was the chance he would still get into grad school, and when that opportunity arrived, we knew he had to take it. God works in mysterious ways and I know it's no coincidence he got into the school he did, having the opportunity to live rent-free with my mom only a half mile away from the school.
I can't wait until the day he graduates. That's the day that will make all this worth it.
