Paper Chains

So anyone who has been in a long distance relationship knows it is not easy. It takes a lot of patience, trust, and understanding on both ends. It requires strength and commitment to keep a relationship alive and strong despite the distance and time apart. It's not easy being away from those you love.
Even though I have thoroughly enjoyed being in France experiencing the culture and language, living in a foreign country does have it's lonely moments. So to help with the time apart I decided to make a paper chain from a couple of old bird watching magazine's my parents left behind to count down the number of days til Dustin comes to France.
It's silly but being such a visual person, seeing the time and distance become shorter creates a greater appreciation for my experiences in France while getting excited to travel throughout Europe together.

I started out with 86 days and am now down to 34 days! Bottom line I can not wait til April 13th for Dustin to get here so, we can start traveling around Europe together.
