So me and Steve finally had "the talk" about what we're gonna do after this summer...and, the verdict is: we're gonna give it a chance! This past week has been so good...I think all of the original problems got worked out. It's going to be rough being away from each other...we figure we'd get lucky to talk once or twice a week. But it will be very nice to have him in the back of my mind when I go home. I still have an uphill climb back in Virginia, and I'm still going to be very much alone, but it will be nice having the silent support of a relationship.

So, after a year, then what? I guess we'll see how it goes. He'll be ending up the tour about the time I graduate...there are many options, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Now...how do I tell my parents that I'm dating a 30 year old man?
