My boyfriend is really a romantic person. For the 4 years we have been in a LDR, he has always surprised whether we are together or apart. There are so many sweet things that I can talk about but I don’t think there is enough space. All are very unforgettable and really melted my heart.

I am here in the Philippines and he is really so far from me, it’s almost 24 hours to fly here from his hometown. He knows how dangerous it is for him to fly here alone because one reason is he is white and every time he was here it was always not a good experience for him.

One time he told me he would be in the hospital and I was so worried about him. Even though we’re long distance we never pass one day not talking or say goodnight to each other. So I was so worried when he didn’t call or text or email - I mean nothing from him plus the fact that I know he was in the hospital. So it was already 2 days, still nothing from him. I was really going crazy because normally he will ask somebody to call me and tell me that he is okay and he misses me and love me. I tried to call his house but the people there said he is in the hospital and he is okay but I still want to hear his voice. So those 2 days I got nothing from him. And I said to myself, “I wanna break up with him for that.” (I was just being crazy heheh)

I was writing an email for him when all of a sudden our dogs started barking and that means there was someone downstairs. I didn’t care because my mom was there anyway. Then my mom all of a sudden called me like it was an emergency or something. When I went down and opened my door, it was him! I was so shocked and it felt like I was dreaming. I was speechless and even asked him to pinch me because I was afraid I was just dreaming. I mean I know how he hates the Philippines but he traveled alone just to shock me like that. For the second time around he captured my heart again. How can I ever let him go if he is the source of my happiness….. He is the sweetest person I’ve ever met… but I know in my heart no matter what happens I will always be unconditionally in love with him….

I started dating Stephen when I was a senior in high school. When I graduated I went to visit my mom in Arizona for the summer. I later decided that I was going to stay there instead of go back to California. He was the first person I talked to about it and he was very understanding, considering there was a lot going on at my dads house, and I just wanted out. So I moved out here to Arizona in June without saying goodbye to anyone in California.

Well, about a week before Labor Day, my now Fiancé, mentioned that his mom and him were going to take a trip to Las Vegas. So I told my mom and a friend out here that I wanted to go there and surprise him. They were all for it! So I kept it from him, thinking I was being sly. So when labor day weekend came, my friend and I were all packed up, and ready to go to Vegas, and my mom said we had to pick up her friend from the airport and then we could be on our way to Vegas.

So we were waiting for this girl, she said her name was Stephanie, talkin’ about how much fun the weekend would be, and I turned around because they kept looking behind me, and THERE HE WAS!!! He had been planning the trip the whole time!!!!! He flew out to see me in Arizona, and I was completely clueless!!! I hadn’t seen him in 3 months and for him to show up like that was just the most amazing thing!!! Needless to say we didn’t go to Vegas! but it was the best weekend ever. We have now been long distance for about 18 months, he lives in California where he is going to school full time. We plan on getting married when he finishes school, and he moves out here. We are completely in love with each other, and are constantly reminding people that the impossible is very possible if you really love each other. And we do

My boyfriend, Brett, lives 7 hours away. We met in college. He graduated last May; I won’t graduate for another year and a half. We didn’t start dating until after he moved, I guess he didn’t realize how much he liked me till he was apart from me for a while. We have been averaging seeing each around once a month. However, this month it looked like with our busy schedules it just wasn’t going to work. I was having a really bad week and was feeling awful with the stress of classes when he asked me online, “So are you really busy this weekend?” I was alarmed by the statement and reference that it was our Homecoming weekend and I had band all day Saturday and various other activities Friday night. I asked him why he asked and he responded with, “Well you’ve been feeling so lousy lately I want you to enjoy Homecoming.” I thought nothing of it after that. Then the Thursday of Homecoming week I called him and he didn’t answer, which is unusual for Thursday nights. A little while later, a mutual friend of ours called me to make sure I was planning on going to our church service that night. I tried calling Brett again a bit later and he still didn’t answer, I started to get slightly concerned. Another mutual friend called not five minutes later trying to confirm that I would be at church that evening. At this point I knew something was up. I went over to church, pretty sure what I would find. I was right. Standing there smiling at me was Brett, who I wasn’t expecting to see for another month. I was so happy I almost cried. He said it took all his will power not to tell me, especially when I was having such a hard time right before his visit. He had known for a while he was coming, so I was shocked he was able to keep it from me. He’s truly an amazing guy, and I am so lucky to have him, even if he is 7 hours away he’s always here in my heart.

My boyfriend and I met on a cruise during Spring Break and really hit it off. My first kiss with him was on my 16th Birthday - and of course when we got back home we were over 1,100 miles away and couldn’t miss each other more.

During that coming summer, he gathered all the money his family and friends had given him for both graduation and his birthday and flew out to see me just two days after he had turned 18. He even stayed at a campsite for two weeks with no electricity just so he could spend some time with me.

We talk every night on the phone and love every minute we can hear each others voices. And we’ve been together for nearly 7 months now =]

I love you Jacob!
