What an awesome thread! I'm so subscribing!
Anyways, here's my story I guess.
I was 13, he was 12. We met through the Royal Canadian Sea cadets. We were both taking the same summer course, Gunnery Trade Group 1, at HMCS Quadra on Vancouver island.
We talked a bit, and he gave me a Hello Kitty Bracelet. I wore it every day.
After camp, we talked a lot on MSN, a lot of web cam calls. it was nice. We sent each other gifts.
The year after, we met up again at Quadra for Gunnery Trade Group 2. It was heaven!
The year after though, we didn't get to see each other, as he was accepted for camp at HMCS Ontario, in Kingston Ont. I was accepted at Quadra, again.
We saw each other last year though, he came to Quadra for Staff, and I did not go to camp. I stayed home and worked.
He met my family last summer, as I brought him home for the day a lot.
This past winter I flew out to his house for about a month. I met his family and relatives. It was the best time of my life!
I live on Vancouver Island, BC. So I was able to drive up and visit him all last summer.
He lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
It's a pretty far distance. But we've managed for 5 years now (I am 18(19 in Dec.) and he is 17(18 in Nov.)) We talk almost daily. We are a rather nerdy couple. I sent him a 5x5, 6x6, and a 7x7 set of Rubiks cubes (Actually, they are V Cubes, Rubiks's does not make a 7x7 cube. I had to import them from Greece.) I am waiting for him to reply right now, actually, to see if he opened the box yet. And of course, I gave him a hand made card with tons of love. <3
I am awaiting his package he sent to me to arrive, but it was delayed in Vancouver, and I won't receive my Valentines gift until Monday, but that's ok.

And my parents said a LDR would never work for me... XD ParentFail.
