Principles and Functons of Communication

Communication is a big part of my life right now. Unlike the summer I don't get to see my boyfriend a lot, which makes it hard on the two of us, but we have been able to communicate on the phone. For me communication has been what keeps this relationship alive. It has allowed us to learn even more about each other and strengthen the bonds we already possessed; which is a key function of communication to build relationships. While I was talking to him last night we got to discuss our plans for the weekend, since I'm going home. Communication has several key principles and one is it has a purpose. The purpose for us was to try and decide what our plans are for this extended weekend. Now, did we get anything figured out? No! I’m the worst person at making decisions and it drives him crazy, but he loves me anyway. I just don’t understand why he can’t come up with something to do as a surprise for me since I don’t get to see him much. We did decide on one thing though, that we do have to go see my family. We’ve planned to go over to my house and have a cookout with some of my family and friends. I’m hoping we’ll go to the lake though, because I haven’t been in a while, even though I can’t do much with my knee being messed up right now. This means no wake boarding, but I can still go and lay out in the sun and work on my tan! Well, I’ll figure more out tonight when we get to talk again.
