This has been a long week. I chalk it all up to Mike being gone to California. I mean we are normal pretty busy with life when he is here but the operative word is- here. There hasn't been much time to chat with him this past week so our communication level is way down. 10 mins here or there just doesn't seem to fill my "need" cup that only he can fill. I miss my 2nd half. Life just doesn't seem to be as full when he isn't coming through the door each night. I have had to deal with a few issues since he left last Sunday and while I have done just that, it doesn't seem to be the same. I don't know how someone who is single does it and I have some good friends who are in that boat and with children. I truly don't know how they continually do it by themselves? I miss his balance in my life. My mom use to say "you two are equally yoked." I have come to understand that phrase better the longer we are married. When one person leaves it's harder to carry the yoke. I miss my best friend and hope the time goes by quickly. Life is just better when there are two of you working at it side by side all the time. Doing it alone stinks!
We are very thankful for this opportunity that Mike has been given. I am sure whatever he is asked to do he will be amazing at. I just wish it wasn't across the country where he has to be amazing! But alas this is our life right now and I will be happy since all aspects of our lives we are doing quite well, we have great jobs, our children are doing well and they are happy! We truly are blessed. But for now... I miss my main squeeze!

Ahhhhhh this reminds me of my first year of marriage when I was still traveling a lot for work. I'm with you, once you have that love in your life, being apart is no dang fun. The reunions are joyful but dinners alone and nothing more than a phone to say goodnight to isn't the same as cuddling together to eat pizza and a goodnight kiss. Hang in there!
