10 Weeks and 1,101 Miles

That's how long until Dan's time at Officer Candidate School will last and how long the car ride will be in order to see his commissioning at the end of March. That is a lot of time and a lot of miles! Now Dan and I are not the kind of couple that has to spend every waking minute together (in fact, we haven't ever spent more than 3 days in a row together) but it is still hard when the only form of communication for the first three weeks is through letters (old school!) and then only phone calls on the weekends after that. Saying goodbye was really hard, but so far not being able to text him to tell him little things throughout the day has almost been harder. Waiting for the first letter to come in the mail is kind of exciting though!
