Do you think that your relationship will last the two years Austin is gone?
You know, I don't have a clue as to what the future is bringing for us. Some people are with each other everyday and still don't last that long. I'm positive that there are going to be some difficult times for the both of us while he is away. Times that are individually overwhelming, and times where we will both question whether we are doing the right thing or not by trying to make that distance work. I have definitely thought about it. Just thinking about it puts a knot in my stomach. Truth is though, I care about Austin far too much to not be able to hear all about his adventure when he gets back; and I'll do my very best to be there every step of the way. He has never given up on me. So to answer your question, I hope that it will last. I really, really hope so.
