The race of time...a time to race

Marika and I have some time before we can see eachother again. To be brief, it's been difficult. Two months have passed by us since we've been together. I know it's hard for me but I can only imagine what it's truly like for May. We both have our weak points which sometimes show more than we'd like. We've talked every day which in itself is hard for the both of us. I'm sure it seems to some like we're wasting our time...but I don't think so. Yes, we both have other things we can do that will move us forward in life but just think about a relationship that you have.

How often do you sit down and just talk? Do you get to do this everyday? Every week?Ever? For us we talk on average about an hour and a half daily. It's probably only because we don't have eachother around but I have found that this is something that I enjoy. I don't want to give this up even when we are together. Looking at the time I have "lost" or "wasted" I've personally learned so much. Not only about Marika, but about myself as well. Sometimes what I learn isn't pleasant but it's who I am and it's who May is. May is so wonderful when she shows it. She usually does and it's amazing to me every time.

At times it's quiet, either we can't think of anything else to say or we don't want to say anything. Even with the occasional silence, it's not wasted. The time is ours, atleast for now.

We've both been doing the usual things...May goes to school, studies way too much and often goes for a jog or swimming or doing things with her friends. She sold some of her clothes and shoes at a type of flee market recently which I thought was cool. She watches a couple shows like Gossip girl or Finlands version of next top model but mostly she studies for school(I'm not so sure of how much studying actually occurs though :). She has, if you ask me, way to many books to read for school but that's just school. She's so smart too. Sometimes I feel a little out of my league when it comes to studies. I did great in school here (U.S.) but school here and school abroad are seemingly on opposite sides of the scale.

For myself I have been working everyday, with an occasional fun activity mixed in when I can. After 8-10 hours of work a day, it seems hard to eat, sleep, talk, and have the energy to plan and do other things. We have a little farm so I have kept up with the fruit trees. I enjoy landscaping so every chance I get to put in some more roses or prune something I do. I rode the horse this week which was...alright. My dog is a lot of fun to be around too. Recently I had the opportunity to race in a Triathlon in Wilmington which was really great. I went with my friend Henry and his dad and mom. His dad beat me by 10 seconds so it was lame but I was just happy to complete it. There was a fair going on the day before the race so it was nice to walk around and do things. I took some pictures of everything






During the fair we walked around, enjoyed the festival food and toured an old sail boat. There were lots of people there and so my friend was pointing out all of the girls he thought were hot. It's not like I am blind but all I could think about was that bright smiling face, laughing and squinting her eyes after me saying something silly. I knew something was wrong when my friend was checking out girls while I was checking out dresses for May but I didn't care. Nothing else really mattered.








We went to bed early in preparation for the race but I couldn't even sleep. Then they started lighting off fireworks which were really great, until the noise set off an alarm to a nearby Hummer. After that I just stayed up thinking. I guess what I'm trying to say is although it might seem easier not talking so much, it would be horrible.






I had fun, stayed focused, and ran the triathlon but she never left my thoughts. I saw couples enjoying eachother's company, and the scenery. It made me want her so badly then I realized that we have something special.I know it's sometimes hard to see the future but I know it's there. It's romance, it's passion, it's understanding, it's sometimes difficult, but it's there.
