In a way long distance relationships work much better because you focus on the spirit rather than the physical. It does improve many relationships to not have that person readily available.
Too often I've seen people take their partner for granted because they were always there physically.
Enjoy it, and don't worry, you're not alone.
You're right - it's now all about dedication and seems *almost* like a game of endurance and hard work. Whoever says that relationships aren't work I don't believe it. However, on the flip side, it is one of the most amazing parts of my life today that I'm not able (nor ready) to replace.
I just hope US, DL, and maybe WN give me a break this year and start some fare wars out to the southeast!
To Cassie: Congrats on your 24 years!
