I typed a response to Laura & Sandi's comments while I was at work. I swear to goddess that I hit save or whatever but my comment is not there...
I'm looking forward to having the extra time to work out but Laura touched on some concerns that we both have. Sandi, John & I were separated last year & right now our relationship is really good but we're afraid of what this time apart could mean. The good thing is that I do have a lot of leave time & can get in the car for a quick visit if I need to.
I got an email confirmation that netflix is sending a copy of Rodney Yee to me to b delivered tomorrow. Wahoo! Just in time for my time alone.
Sunday is Erin's birthday--23. I just can't believe it. We're taking her to The Melting Pot for dinner. I'm going to get in an extra HIIT this weekend to make sure I burn the extra calories of the yummy dessert I'll have.

You know, I think that as long as you and John get together every weekend and communicate 1-2x per day by phone or e-mail, you'll be fine. In fact, you may even gain a deeper appreciation for one another. You'll probably also find yourselves having more sex, because there's something about not being able to have it that makes you really really want it. You also may be inspired to try phone sex or cybersex, which can be an interesting way to spice up a relationship that's been going on for a long time. Or not--it all depends on how adventurous John is. If he's more of a romantic type he'll love it if you sneak mushy notes into his suitcase before he leaves, or arrange for little presents to be delivered to him when he's away.
Basically, as long as you're not apart for months at a time you should be fine, particularly if your relationship feels pretty solid at the moment.
Ah, another common thread. J and I separated in November 2006; kinda got back together as of March 07; but didn't live under the same roof again until Aug 07. And then there was still a lot of questioning if we were doing the right thing in trying to work it out. It took about a year to really "feel" together again.
I agree with Laura. Lots of phone calls and emails, and try to see each other as much as possible on the weekends. :)
