I got you something that I think you're gonna find hilarious. I wish I could show it but it would ruin the surprise. It will be the first gift I hand you in Wednesday lol. Love you, and I can't wait to see you my sweet girl 💙

Wish I had a more interesting photo for the first day, but I'll be in the plane until pretty much midnight, so this will have to do unfortunately. We ran into this town full of dinosaurs statutes lol. The drive here was nice, watched fro demon slayer when I wasn't falling asleep, and just thought about you when looking out the window. It didn't fully hit me that I wont see you for a month until I arrived at the airport. I miss you so much 😘

2026-07-04

This is the view out of my room. There is a lot of really cool stuff that makes it pretty, but I honestly just see it and think of you. Yearning? Absolutely. Every cool thing that I find I just find myself thinking that I would rather be with you. I can't wait to see you again, you're awesome 💙

Some ducks next to lake Zug. Nice place to be. Have some (interesting) memories of this place from the last time I was here. Wish you were here so I could show you around some of the town. The Altstadt I'm told over 800 years old. The lake would be a nice place for a date 😉

2026-07-06

I actually took this photo the day before but I had already uploaded a photo for that day 💔 I was gonna send it to you, but I had already sent you a million sunset photos. Actually fuck that, I make the rules (I had written as to how this would replace the next photo) The photo doesn't do it justice to what it felt like being there. While I can't see into the future, if there was a photo that I would say best embodied the feeling of seeing and then thinking of you, it would be this one. What I would give to have been able to hold your hand and watch the sun as it went down into the mountains. I'll take you here one day. To do all that I wish we could do right now. That's a promise.

Not much happened today, and when I say that, I legit mean like nothing. Went to school, back, and then help take care of those kids. It was a good day though. As in all of the days of these notes, you've been in my mind for every single one of them. Today I am sad that only 4 days have passed, but knowing you'll be reading all of these notes at a time closer to our reunion gives me a sense of comfort. I'll never be able to say it enough, but you mean so much more than you could ever imagine. Part of the website was made so that I can work on becoming the best version of myself for you. While the time apart is not easy or pleasant, it provides me with an opportunity so that when I come back, you can see the version of myself that you deserve. I love you Jacey 💙

This is a town called Brunnen. It is a really nice place where the water appears to never end. I wish I had more written, but I fell asleep and forgot to write this one for today. I have 2 minutes before it counts as one for the next day lol. I love youuuu, you are awesomee!

2026-07-09

Went shopping today. Didn't buy anything though because I have lots of time here, so I can always return. There was another really cool hoodie that I wanted to get us both to match, but there wasn't an xs. But anyways, let me know your thoughts about this one and just clothes you think would look good on me. I really miss you even though we called just a few hours ago. It's like I don't know how to turn off a switch in my brain, not that I'd ever want to. I don't think there has been a single hour in this whole trip where I didn't miss you. I was just getting out of the store a few minutes ago and I got a little sad bc of how much I wanted to give you a hug. I know we won't get much time because of packing, but I really hope we can see each other for our ten months. I love you Jacey 😘

2026-07-09

Another day where I add more than one photo. Not sorry lol. I really wish you were here for this, this visit to this little island is something that you would have loved. Another place I want to take you to. Once we're out of college we should start saving for some trips together. For now, I'll keep it in a bucket list of places that I want to take you to. Ich liebe dich, Liebling 💙

2026-07-09

Not many photos from today. Didn't have my phone in the mountain, and I had the whole wallet saga. That is not yet resolved as I am writing this in the way back from the unsuccessful excursion. You should be on your way to Chicago, and I hope nothing but the very best for you. The photo is just one I took in the morning while waiting for the bus. As far as the daily thought, I found myself thinking back to yesterday and how every pretty flower, light, and lake reminded me of you. Kinda like with the jacaranda trees in Mexico. I grew up around and loving jacaranda trees and their flowers when they bloom. Maybe that's why they remind me of you. 🌸

2026-07-10

We got back pretty late last night and didn't have time to upload it before the day changed, but I still wanted to come back and write a note for the day. There were lots of couples up here, plenty of romantic benches to sit on lol. Certainly a place I'd like to take you to. Flowers were a reminder of you all throughout the hike. No matter how high up, there's always something to remind me of you 💙

2026-07-12

Photo of the day more or less. Because it was Sunday we really had no where to go. The plan was to visit Lucerne but everything would be closed. I've been doing some work on practiceme, but besides for that, I've just been missing you. Happy that we are 25% of the way as of when I am writing this, but I wish I could just be with you now. I love you Jacey 😘

2026-07-12

Today was a pretty intense day lol. My sister and I went to Lucerne and split for like 4 hours. Lucerne is a nice place. It's a place where one goes to relax and enjoy a fine dinner. I think you would love it. In a few years we'll have the money to go the two of us. Yesterday was honestly kinda saw at the light show. Lots of couples together sitting in the edge enjoying the sunset 😭 I very much wished that was you and I. It's a shame it can't be now, but one day it will. I love you Jacey (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠) Random ass bucket list item: hazelnut ice cream here is amazing. We should get some when we come 😉

2026-07-13

You've already seen this photo before, but I thought it was funny how I just ran into it randomly while talking to you so I think it deserves to be here. I was having lunch today and thinking about how it's been 1/3rd of the time we'll be away. Part of the thought was hopeful, and another simply longing. Even as I've settled into my routine here, I don't miss you any less than before. Every passing day I just wish I was with you. I've really appreciated the times we've gotten to call so far, as each call feels like a part of how things were a few weeks ago. Each call, no matter how long, always ends up being the highlight of my day. I can't wait to see you, I love you 💙

2026-07-14

It's a nice view for two people :) I can't wait to see you again (⁠｡💙⁠‿💙⁠｡⁠)

2026-07-15

Took this photo at that one radio tower. I like the photos with empty benches on nice views. It always makes me wish it was you and me sitting in them and enjoying the view. One day. Would be nice though. I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you in two weeks 😘😘

2026-07-16

The photo isn't special, but I took it at a time all I could do was think of you. Today marks two weeks since I last saw you and there's nothing I want more than to see you again. The days feel like they are getting longer, and I hate it. Makes me wanna write walls of text here, but you've pretty much have gotten one everyday in here lol. I've said it before, but missing someone this much isn't common. The distance makes me a little depressed sometimes, but thinking of what it means to have someone worth missing this much makes these temporary feelings small. I gotta head to bed soon but know that you're always on my mind when I start and end my day. And in every moment in between but that's a different story. Love you Jacey 😘

2026-07-17

I passed out last night when though I told myself I was gonna upload it before bed. Sorry about that, I was extremely tired. Just two more weeks and we'll be back together. I love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-19

Long day, but I always find peace in writing these notes. I don't really know when you'll see them, but knowing that you will gives me hope they'll make you happy, which makes me happy. I miss you and I can't wait to see you again 💙

2026-07-19

Today was a pretty quiet day. School and then that long ass family dinner. Today was weird in that I found myself missing you just as usual, but the fact that we are over halfway through gives me how yk. A week and a half feels a lot less daunting than a whole month. I'm just excited to see you again, it's gonna be the highlight of the summer lmao. Love you Jacey, you're awesome. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

2026-07-21

Went to the lake this morning before heading to school. Always a nice place to relax and think. I miss you more than ever, but I guess that's not really a surprise. I hope we get to call later tonight, it's all I've been thinking of. For when you read this, know that I loved that call more than you could ever imagine. Saying something made my day feels like an understatement. I love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-21

Hiii, I'm writing this currently while up in the mountain, and I can think of nothing but think of you. I've got a week left here, and then I hop on trains to Hungary, but what I'm most of excited for is that we are over halfway through. I've loved getting to call more these past few days. My day is never complete without hearing your voice. Sometimes (all the time lmao), I wish I had my jacket with me after you having it for an extended period of time. I remember holding on to it while sleeping when you went to Japan lol. In the least weird way lol, the familiar scent brings a comfort like that of holding your hand or hearing you laugh. Anyways, if you are to see this page on the day I wrote it, have fun skating with Kyle later tonight, drive safe and know that I love you from the end of the universe and back (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠)💙(⁠๑⁠♡⁠⌓⁠♡⁠๑⁠)

2026-07-22

I find myself looking at the countdown every day now. I just wanna see you and give you a long ass hug. I've been missing you more than ever, but at least we are almost there. I love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-24

All throughout this trip I've wished I was with you. Hard to believe it's been almost three weeks since we saw each other. I'm just ready to see you again. I know we won't get much time once I'm back, but I am excited to spend more time with you once we are in Iowa. You're awesome 😚

2026-07-24

Took the photo a little late, but it kinda of looked like a rose 🌹 It's become a habit at this point for me to look at the countdown. As it's grown smaller, I look forward to doing so, for it gets easier everyday. A week doesn't feel quite so far after almost a month. Know I'm gonna give you the longest hug when I see you on our 10 months. I love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-25

Today has felt so long. Now that we've been calling almost every day, going even a day without makes my day so much longer. I'm excited to call tmmr though, hearing your voice always makes my day. 💙

2026-07-26

Went to this library to knock out the cyclone 101 thing on canvas. Nice quiet place to go do work. Tmmr is actually my last day in Switzerland. Going on train to Vienna and then to Budapest. I return back to Switzerland on Monday and then fly out on Tuesday. For context, today is Tuesday. I can't wait to see you love. Your all that's been on my mind, and there's nothing I want more than to see your smile. A hug and a kiss would be nice too lol. I'm gonna go pack, love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-28

On the train while writing this now. I was thinking of studying for the lib class, but I actually want to work on that list of foods for Iowa I was telling you about the other day. I should have it done by the time you read this, so that'll be fun! I fear this page is just a yearning log, so in sorry about that. I love you Jacey 💙

2026-07-29

Sorry for the yearning

2026-07-30

Here's a photo from yesterday. I got busy with some Iowa stuff and the gc drama, so I'm sorry for missing yesterday. I still plan on adding one today to make up for it. I love you Jacey, have a great day!! 💙

2026-08-01

Spent the day in an artisan area of Budapest. Found these handmade bookmarks we can share! I got you some other traditional Hungarian stuff but I'll show you them later 😉

2026-08-01

I got you something that I think you're gonna find hilarious. I wish I could show it but it would ruin the surprise. It will be the first gift I hand you in Wednesday lol. Love you, and I can't wait to see you my sweet girl 💙
