On the mend.

So "the talk" went surprisingly well. We had such an honest and open discussion about what we were both feeling and going through. I think the vastly different schedules have added a lot of stress for both of us. It's hard to keep things alive when you don't even see each other.
We are going to try to co-ordinate days off if at all possible and make the most of the time we are together. Things aren't back to where they used to be but I know that we can make it back to that point and for the first time in a long time I'm excited about our relationship and where we are going.
People always say that the spark goes away but I think that if it's meant to be it's always there, it just needs a little encouragement. I mean I still feel the butterflies and think about how lucky I am everyday, even during the bad times I'll look over at him and my heart swells. I know...I know it sounds REALLY corny but it's true. I never in a million years thought that I would be the corny type, but I guess there is a little bit of that in everybody.
