I used to borderline get annoyed with girls that were so joined at the hip to their boyfriends or husbands that they would bemoan even a few hours of parting. Oh brother! As a child, and even single adult, I was never one to get homesick or to miss my family. I enjoyed the times when I got to be on my own or to be away. I was always glad to get back to them, but I was the one on the first day of kindergarten that never looked back.
So how did this 6'0" blue-eyed Bountiful boy change all that??? This week, we will have spent more time apart than together, and that's probably only the 3rd time in our marriage that has happened. I have had young women camps, youth conferences, trek, and family situations that have taken me away for days at a time. The nice thing is that while I was gone to those things, I was so busy, I would really miss him, but I was totally focused on my girls or family issues that I didn't have time to think about missing him.
But today marks only the 3rd time that Bryan has left, leaving me home, and can I just say I'm dying already! I have been totally spoiled lately, because he has been able to be home most of the summer working on the house with me and the children. I love our summers together. About the time January 3rd rolls around, I find myself starting to count down the days until summer when he's home...pathetic, I know. Now, the middle of July, I am starting to already dread August when he goes back to work. Wo is me :)

I feel your pain. I always feel sorry for myself when Kelly is gone. I have grown to need his help at the end of the day.
I didnt know he was gone! I am sorry! But I wanted to tell you my memory of you guys was when I first came to your house in Layton and Zerin learned to ride his bike. Another memory is when we were in your kitchen and you or Marne' said they look like they are having fun. And I said who? The horses?? Yeah that was pretty funny!
I think it's awesome that you feel that way, you know, except that means that he's gone and you miss him! I think it's worse to be the one stuck at home. How neat that you guys get the whole summer to be together. Definately a big perk for his job.
