Skype, the secret to long distance

Today was great...didn't get a lot of work done but I did get to talk/chat with my mister almost the entire day! Believe me, the sacrifice was worth it. I had this evening and tomorrow to take care of anything else I was supposed to do this weekend. I needed to fill up my allen energy tank...because i was definitely running on empty.

Allen called me at 7:45am and we talked roughly until 9am. From then until 4pm we chatted on Skype (text chatting and video messaging). That's over 8 hours people! Can you imagine?! It was wonderful. I think we spent equal amounts of time talking about the past, the present, and our future together...a future which seems at a snail's pace. While most days I wish I could fast forward time, today I wished I could hit the slow motion button. I just couldn't get enough of him. At several points during our time together neither one of us said a word. We just looked at each other...it was more than "looking" though...it was longing, it was wishing we were in each other's arms, imagining us face to face not screen to screen. We didn't need words to express how we were feeling. We have become fluent in reading each other's eyes and expressions. And the crazy part is that we love each other more now than ever. Is that crazy? Saturday is 3 years and 5 months from our first real date, May 5th 2005. Maybe the crazy part is that we wanted to get married just 6 months after dating. The picture I've included in this post is from the night of Carli's birthday (we started dating after that). Allen and I clicked right away...it really was like magic. I've only seen him as nervous as he was that night just one other time, the night he proposed :)
