Most amazing news ever. Today Dan and I booked a ticket for him to come and visit me for three glorious weeks in late December/early January. I still don’t believe its true and probably won’t till he gets off the plane in Korea and I can hold him in these arms of mine.
When I left for Seoul I really had no idea how much I would miss him. Silly little girl always trying to trick herself (and others) into thinking she is all tough and strong. When will I ever learn? I really did think it would be no big deal. That I could handle it no problem and that one year would go super fast. The transition into my new life here has been really rough and I missed him from the start. I terribly missed him and it surprised me and scared me and melted into the pot of overwhelming emotions from everything so new.
Even from so far away he has been my number one support system and companion. I am blessed to have such a great friend. And now I get to be utterly self-indulgent and steal him away from any other winter break plans so that he can be mine all mine again. Now instead of counting down 11 months till we would get to be together, I only have seven weeks to count down. I am resilient, I can endure for that time. (I think)

Oh sweet tortures of love.
YAY! Companionship!
