I'm starting to get really anxious. My boyfriend, whom I adore completely, is leaving on January 10th for a 10-week immersion program in Guadalajara. I've been living with him and his parents for the last couple of months due to my having been laid off twice this year and the lack of work in the San Diego area. They've been amazing and supportive in my time of need.
Ever since we met in July last summer and began dating in August, he's been devoted to me and our relationship. I know he loves me. I've never had a more devoted man in my life. I've been in distance relationships before, but nothing this extensive.
I have plenty to do for those 10 weeks. Finding a decent job, paying bills, and just generally continuing to try and get back on my feet. I will miss him terribly, but I am very excited for him. He adores Mexican food and is a beautiful Spanish speaker. I want this for him very much. We've been spending the last few weeks being close and attentive, storing up as much love and affection as we can muster. It sounds sappy and all, but I'm eating it up.
