90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 16

Day 16: Name something your partner dislikes about themselves but you love!

Cat: Okay, guys, I’m not going to lie to you: This prompt really stumped Richard and I! We actually had no idea how to answer this one… I guess I’ll just say this: Richard really is one of the most confident people I know, and I think it’s because he had to overcome a lot of adversity at a really young age. We both have that in common. While it hit me hard in my teenage years, especially when it came to body image issues, Richard went the other way. After overcoming everything, he took all that negativity and transformed it into positivity. It wasn’t overnight, and he hit some hard times. But at the end of it all, he became the strong, confident person he is today. So, because of that, I think there’s very little room in Richard’s mind to hate or dislike things about himself. And I love him for that. 🙂 

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

If you’re in a relationship and your girlfriend/boyfriend asks you “are you okay? “

Don’t lie to them. If y’all are in love, tell them what’s bothering you. They care. It’s okay to be vulnerable with them. Don’t tell them “yea I’m okay” and you’re not, because then you’ll be mad at them for not understanding your hurt when YOU HAVEN’T EVEN EXPLAINED IT to them. People can’t read minds. Give them the chance to listen, give them the chance to understand. Let them love you okay, communication is key.

this is soo important omg

^ !!!

Took me such a long time to understand this. I finally understand how important this is. Give into the fear of being vulnerable with your loved one – it’s so worth it!

90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 7

Day 7: What was it like the first time you two talked?

Cat: Well, while we were still messaging each other OkCupid, our messages flowed really well. And luckily, that carried on into our first date! We talked about all the things “they” tell you not to talk about, ha! But his intelligence and expressiveness just made him even more attractive to me, haha!

Richard: From what I can remember, it was really fun and relaxed. 🙂 I specifically remember we talked a lot about American things, haha.

90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 6

Day 6: How often do you see each other in person? What about over video chats?

We haven’t visited each other yet, but we will be seeing each other for our 3-year anniversary! T-minus 84 days!!! I can’t wait!

We try to Skype every other day, but it just depends on our schedule. Sometimes over the course of a week, it could be more than that, but other times, depending on what we have going on, it could be less. We really try to be open-minded and flexible with it all!
