K Bono sorry I havent replied to this been super busy. But I have been thinking about this for a couple of days...ok Im always on the same page as Jules and or vice versa. you guys have kept an open communication which most people at this point would have bailed considering the situation. BUT I am glad youre able to come to terms and discuss real issues that may arise while apart for this year. Because honestly, sex as important or unimportant as it can be, IS an issue. ITs called TRUST which you have with her and her with you. Everyone has needs its just how important is sex to that person and CAN they wait? Obvioulsy at this point you both can...awesome.

Now to the ring issue:which Ive REALLY been pondering here...I get the distinct impression this is Bettys idea? Ok fine. PROMISE is just that, youve made the committment to her, and the ring(s) are great to symbolize your committment to one another at this juncture-as long as its understood and communicated this ISNT engagement rings. Granted you guys are in love with one another, but Bono-you need to see how things are going to work within this year BEFORE making THAT committment, I know you know that too.

I dont know what her motivations are for wanting this-but as long as you both know where you stand, thats whats important. Im guessing shes buyin you a ring as well? Where are you planning on wearing this ring? Your wedding finger? I dont know-I guess Id say if youre ready to make this with her thats great, it sounds as if you are whole heartedly into this and going for the ride of your life-I applaud and commend your efforts into making this situation a good one for the both of you. Long distance is difficult and my prayers are with you guys over that year period. You KNOW how difficult that is going to be-and youre willing to give it your all! Thats great.

Bono-I wish you both the very best, and I hope youre able to keep your lines of communication open, and youre honestly at the level it is, cause damn youre going to need ALL of it. You know Jules and I wish you the VERY best, you deserve this, and deserve someone whose truly worthy of you!

You guys have a SUPER weekend and enjoy EVERY SINGLE SECOND!
