		<description>Hi, I write for a major newsmagazine and was wondering if you would like to share your middle-distance relationship traveling woes for a story I am working on that has to do with rising gas prices and relationship troubles as a result. If so, please send an email to cait.mcdevitt@gmail.com with your story. Thanks! Caitlin</description>

		<description>Well, I don&#039;t exactly have a lot of experience with the courtship thing. (thankfully :-D) but I do have a lot of experience with the distance thing. But, hey Thomas, be thankful that Grace at least has a phone and Internet.

Do ya&#039;ll use Skype?

		<description>I had to comment on this post when I came across it since I too find myself in a similar relationship where my boyfriend lives an hour and a half away. There is a city about 45min. from each of us that we can meet in, and do at times, but all the points you touched upon are so true. The only seeing each other on weekends...gas prices...living a kind of regular, everyday life. It is certainly a challenge, and the toughest part for me is that it is impossible to make all involved happy - with different churches and diffferent families. Anyway, I enjoyed this in a I completely know what you are talking about kind of way!
