Marty and I have been long distance our whole relationship. When I lived up north, I was able to see him every weekend and sometimes during the week if he was driving down for work or if there was a holiday or something. I had already decided to attend SUU when I met Marty, but we agreed that we could handle distance. It was a hard change even though we were already apart during the week and it definitely took some getting used to. But now, our relationship is really strong and we have developed awesome communication skills.
Our weekend started late Friday afternoon. I was thrilled for a little break from school. Last week I had two essays due, a fiction story, and a presentation- such an awful week! I was so excited for a little time with Marty after a long, sleepless, and stressful week. Friday was spent making delicious teriyaki chicken, snuggling, and watching basketball and of course... Fox news. In case you're wondering, Marty definitely picked what we watched. It was pretty low key but it was so fun to cook together and spend a lazy evening together.
Saturday was more eventful. We started our day late because Mr. Marty likes to sleep. A lot. I tried to wake him up with breakfast in bed (which worked until he was done eating) but was not successful. While Marty was asleep, I cleaned the kitchen, folded laundry, and did the dishes. When he finally work up, we got ready and had some lunch. We went to a little place called Slurps Up, kind of like Swig although not as yummy. Then I gave Marty a little tour of SUU. I showed him all around campus and inside all of the buildings that were unlocked. It was fun to show him around the place I spend most of my time. After, we headed back to my apartment to work on wedding invitations. (47 days guys, it's coming soon!) Then we went to Applebee's, our favorite date, and brought it home to watch the games. After, we watched Frozen and made cookies that we ate with ice cream. We had such a fun day full of high calorie food and high quality laughs. 
Sunday was hard, as they usually are when I have to say "see ya later" to Marty. Goodbye's are getting crazy difficult lately. Marty slept in late while I read a little and spent some time on Pinterest. When he finally woke up, it was almost time for him to leave. His parents were on their way and offered to take us to lunch. I was so happy for some extra time with Marty as well as his cute parents. After we finished at Ihop, it was time for goodbye. I've never been good at them, and I hate watching him go after we have had such a fun weekend. I was really sad, but then I started to think of all the reasons why I'm so excited to get married. I began to notice a lot of these this weekend.1. I will always have someone to cook with or for. I loved having Marty around to help me cook or just knowing that I wouldn't have to eat alone.
2. I will have a grocery shopping buddy. Marty ran to Wal-Mart for ice cream and juice and it was so fun! It was nice not having to go alone and picking everything out by myself.
3. I will have someone to get ready with. It was so fun sharing the mirror as Marty brushed his teeth and I was doing my hair. It was so fun to talk to him while I got ready and to have someone there to tell me how beautiful he thought I was when I was all ready.
4. I loved being able to surprise him with breakfast in bed. Its such a small and easy way to show someone that you love them. I can't wait until I can show small acts of kindness, love, and service to him daily.
5. I am so excited to see him everyday.
