:(

It is 7:34 AM on a Saturday morning and I have already been awake for 4 hours...

I took Kyle to the airport to go to Brazil this morning. I'm very proud of how well I kept my composure. When I really think about it, a month isn't that long. If he wasn't in Brazil, he'd be in Kansas and we'd see each other every other weekend. So I'm actually only missing out on, at the most, 6 days of Kyle time.

Some how that rational hasn't really worked yet. I think the distance makes a difference. Even when he is 4 hours away, its only 4 hours. If I really wanted to see him, all I would have to do is pay for a tank of gas and drive there. Now, if I really want to see him, I have to buy a plane ticket to Brazil--not likely to happen.

It will be good for us to have some time apart. I'll get to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while and focus on summer school. Kyle will have plenty of time to realize how perfect I am and how lucky he is to have me....;)

Kyle: If you're reading this from a Brazilian Internet Cafe, I want you to know that I love you, have fun and don't get mugged by Brazilian hooligans like Charles!
