<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Me and my boyfriend had been going out no longer than 6 months when he was due to go away for a few weeks volunteering in Tanzania building a school. I had never felt the way I felt about him towards anybody and the day he went away I got all melodramatic and cried my eyes out. But just before he left he gave me a blank photo album with a post it note on it which read 'keep your eyes peeled'. First night went, I moped about at work and dreaded going home to an empty house. When I got home there was an envelope addressed to me. Inside was 3 pictures of me and him, notes with captions to go with each and a jigsaw piece with a letter on. I recieved one of these everyday whilst he was gone and ended up with a full album full of photos and notes from him. We are still together now and I consider myself the luckiest girl ever.
