My name's Maddie, and this is my story 
The Beginning:
Last year I met a boy named James on Omegle. I thought he was alright, but I was very close to ending the conversation. Just as I was going to, something in me told me to keep talking. So, I did; Omegle led to e-mails, which lead to Skype and Facebook. After a while of Skyping with him, he told me I reminded of his old friend Caleb. He said we had the same kind of 'awesome'. He told me to add Caleb on Facebook, so I did. Turns out, he was right.
Caleb and I hit it off right form the first conversation. I had only seen like 2 pictures of him and only heard what James had to say about him, but I already really enjoyed him. I convinced him to get Skype, so he did and I've been talking to that goofball with his xbox headset every day ever since. We have a ridiculous amount in common, neither of us could believe it. We're both incredibly weird, which is amazing. And we understand where the other is coming from with every opinion. Honestly, he's my soul mate and I fell hard, fast. He asked me out September 3rd, 2011 over Skype chat at 1:15am my time. 15 minutes earlier, and we could've had two anniversary dates!
The Distance:
Caleb lives in Texas, and I live in Ontario. (1,630 miles away). This didn't mean much until planing our future. Plane tickets are ridiculously expensive. But, we've met up twice so far. The first time was 15 days of absolute amazingness. We are actually perfect for each other and it is so wonderful I can't even express it in words. being with him is the happiest I've ever been in my life. It's too painful for us to say 'goodbye' so we always say 'see you later' instead. The 'see you later' after we parted for the first time was the most painful thing I've ever had to do.
The second meet up sucked even harder. We were trying to get him to live here, but we had serious paperwork problems at the boarder. Needless to say, we only spent a night together. (A f*cking fantastic one, but still just one night). 10 days from now, I'll be traveling down to Texas for 11 fabulous days of awesome once more!
The Relationship:
It took him a month to admit that he loves me. He tried so hard too wait until he could in person (yeah, that worked), but he couldn't not say it. Honestly, that opened up so much for us. One step at a time and I think we have talked about absolutely everything. He isn't just the love of my life, he's my best friend, and he's my confidant. I am so comfortable with him it is unbelievable. We are compatible in almost every way possible. (Except he elves water on the floor after showers, but I try to overlook it...)
In October he proposed to me after a long conversation about getting him to live in Canada and if we'd b willing to get married if it came down to it. He asked, and I said yes. In February he was finally able to get down on one knee and gave me his high school ring. Because of the cost of this whole relationship and out future, it'll be a while until he can afford a real one, sadly. One day, when we have the money, we will finally get married with a super awesome Rainbow-Superhero wedding on a cruise ship. (Why? Because I said so. >.>) Until then, I have promised that I am his and that I'm not going anywhere, and him the same.
The Conclusion:
It hasn't been easy. It really, really hasn't. We've had our problems. We have our ups and downs just like everyone else. We've had times where it feels like it just can't work. But, we communicate. We trust each other. We love each other, and we make each other happy. We make it work. We find things we can do to make this feel almost normal. We buy each other stuff all the time, we have Skype dates, we always talk about our days with each other, we even try to keep up with good morning texts. It hasn't been easy, and it will be years before we can actually settle down with no worries about not being with each other, but I know with all of my being that it will be worth it. I want to marry that boy, and I want to grow old with him, and I want the guarantee that every night he'll fall asleep beside me, and every morning I'll wake up beside him.
