With less than 2 weeks left before Clark and I are both moved into our dorms, I have been working on getting things ready for when we're apart so that we're both able to enjoy our college experience without the stress of not knowing how to make our long distance relationship work. Here are a few things I have come up with so that it's like we're together without actually being there:
I love my Lilly agenda. I get a new one every year because I need everything to be organized and planned out. I wrote in my entire Ole Miss schedule as well as Clark's TCU schedule. This will help keep me a part of his life because I will already know when his big events are without him even having to tell me! Also this will come in handy when we're planning our next trip to see each other because we won't have to go back and forth asking which dates work, I can just look in my agenda for an idea of dates.
I bought this cute chalkboard at Hobby Lobby and I couldn't be more in love, the white rustic look is so cute and will fit into my dorm perfectly! I am going to use this as a count down for each time I get to see Clark. Every day when I get to change the number, it will keep me excited and happy rather than being sad. I will be focusing on how I get to see him soon rather than how I'm not with him.
Tine tags are definitely one of my favorite purchases I have made as I get everything together for college. They work by downloading the Tine app and all you have to do after that is order your Tine tags (they're free), scan the tag, add a picture, video or audio message and then stick the tag anywhere and share it with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Clark and I will be using them when we send cards or letters to each other. This will be a fun new way for us to communicate rather than just texting or calling!
