90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 11

Day 11: Name 5 random things about your partner!

Cat on Richard:

1. He loves cinnamon, especially if it’s incorporated in anything sweet.
2. He loves playing scary games on his PS4.
3. He has an incredible memory – he will remember something I tell him casually months and months later. It makes his gifts/gestures that much sweeter. 🙂
4. You know those random facts on quiz shows that make you go “How would anyone know that?!” Richard is the kind of person who knows those insanely obscure facts. #nerdalert #hesmynerdtho
5. He’s an incredible baker and cook!

Richard on Cat:

1. Cat loves Otters
2. Cat has a strong relationship with cheese and cheese based dishes, especially Mac N cheese.
3. Cat loves Harry Potter (and loved it when I took her to the Harry Potter experience for her birthday in 2013!)
4. One of Cat’s favourite places to visit is Virginia Beach, especially because she has so many good memories with her Dad there.
5. Cat ironically isn’t a big fan of cat’s (although she makes an exception for Mrs. Whiskers*)

*yes, Mrs. Whiskers is Richard’s cat, ha!

90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 10

Day 10: Write a little letter to yourself about what you hope for your relationship in the next few weeks.

Dear Cat,

I hope your relationship with Richard keeps growing day by day. I hope you keep learning new things about him and from him. I hope you keep laughing – even at his horrible puns. I hope your love for him keeps growing. Not long until he comes to visit. T-minus 64 days!!! 

Love,

Cat

Dear Richard, 

As we’re nearly in September I don’t have any particularly dramatic hopes. However, I hope Cat and I stay as strong as we have been and can spend some time planning what we’ll get up to when I come to visit. By the time I visit, it will be 8 months since Cat left to head back to the States, but I know from the moment I get there until the moment I head back, it will be as if we have never been apart.

– Richard

Life Update

Hey, you guys!

I’m sure you’ve noticed that we’ve been a bit quiet with the 90 Day LDR Challenge as of late, and I wanted to explain why.

Don’t worry! Richard and I are solid. 🙂 but recently, Richard has been dealing with a strong stomach bug, and he hasn’t been feeling 100%. We love doing the challenge together. So, we decided to take a pause while we get his health sorted out. We thought that he would be okay last week when he got a course of antibiotics, but they weren’t strong enough. But just today, his doctor gave him stronger antibiotics, and we’re hopeful these should do the trick!

We’re keeping our fingers crossed, and I would appreciate any positive thoughts you could send Richard’s way!

We really do love you guys, and we just wanted to let you know we have not nor would we ever forget about you all!

Lots of love,

Cat
