The last time we got to see each other was Thanksgiving, and now it looks like due to time and money constraints we wont be able to see each other again before we go on our missions. That means more than 2 and a half years without seeing each other and I’m feeling lonely right now. [Frown]

[Frown] How sad. I remember being in a long-distance relationship. It's hard. We got to the point where we pretty much either had to break up, or get married.

But while you're on your missions, while I'm sure you'll write if you have time, and occasionally see something that makes you think of the other, you'll both be so caught up in the Lord's work, I doubt you'll have time to be sad. It will go by so fast, you won't notice it as much as if you had to spend that much time apart while home.

Yeah, if you are both going to serve missions while dating, it has got to be easier to do the missions simultaneously. I know of couples who did one after the other, and I imagine that's got to be harder.

That's an option you'd regret. But when you think of it that way, it does put it in perspective, doesn't it?

And, you'll have spices to occupy your time. [Wink] [Big Grin]

We decided together between mission and marriage and both felt impeled to serve, and it will get easier of course when we're both in the field so really I should shut-up and stop whinning, but I'm lonely.

Well, sheesh, Hobbes, how much would it cost to get one of you to where the other one is? I know I'm personally willing to contribute $30 or so to the "give Hobbes and Annie one last chance to hang out together" fund.

I also remember being in a long-distance rel... oh, wait...

I know how hard it can be. Trust me. I haven't had to go two and a half years, but who knows how far away we'll be from each other next year! And I feel like it's been that long sometimes. So trust me, I understand. *hug*

I'd contribute too.

You two are amazing together. I think you will do just fine, but I know how painful it is to be separated for even a short stretch like a month.

Someone bump this thread with instructions if we're seriously going to take up a collection.

I'll contribute also.

Do the contributors get to decide if we're sending Hobbes to Annie, Annie to Hobbes, or making them meet at a deserted truck stop somewhere in the middle? [Wink]

who's willing to be in charge of the fund?

I think we send whoever it's cheaper to send. And I think we use our Hatrack travel experts to determine that, yes? Unless they've already done the research. Plus, we need to know when they're available time-wise.

If no one else is going to, I'll volunteer to collect. I'd prefer if someone else does, though . . .

Perhaps whichever person will be going should collect. That way, s/he can buy the tickets him/herself.

Shig, some people may prefer not to disclose the exact amount they are giving toward the cause. That's difficult if one of the principals collects. (Not impossible. They could cover their eyes . . . [Wink] )

hmm...good point. However, if someone uses paypal combined with an e-mail which has no obvious connection to the person, that would work okay.

I don't think I can travel at all to be honest. Hmmm...

I'm afraid last time I missed school to see Annie I dropped a letter grade in at least one of my classes. When I get home my parents would probably kill me (and rightfully so) if I didn't spend that time with them before leaving.

Now I suppose I could make a detour when flying home after the school year (May 10 or 11), but that would mean a flight in from Indiana to Montana, and then from Montana to Colorado, and I wouldn't know how to do that besides two one-ways, which would be much more expensive. If Annie is available any time (which she isn't really but I guess doesn't have any specific scheduled black-out dates either) then there are three options I guess. Spring Break (March 13 to 20th), after school, and some other time (the first two would be to Colorado, the other to Indiana). The problem with after the school year is I'm getting my wisdom teeth out, I think on the 11th, and would have to be back for that if I was going to see Annie and she would probably want to come after that. Though I guess that is less of a problem since I have until June I guess.

If she were to come to Indiana, well then I would still have to go to school, but ummm, other than that, I don't have any limits really. Though the last week (First week in May) might be a bad idea since I really should be studying.

So you're flying to Colorado for Spring Break, and leave for your mission in June? Edit: And will be home after school May 10thish.

Annie, weigh in on your preferences, please.

Also, what cities are we talking for airports? We'll need to know what airports you'd be flying in/out of to figure out how much money we need to come up with. [Smile]

Yes, I'm going home for Spring Break (Colorado), and right after school, the tickets for the former have been bought but not the latter.

To Indiana: Indy Airport
To Colorado: DIA
To Montana: Missoula.

It's true I don't have enough money for a full, round-trip plane ticket but I can still put in a significant amount...
