10 days is a LONG time.

I dropped Lee and his co-worker off at the airport today at 11:30 a.m. They have been sent to the Virgin Islands for the next 10 days on business. When I dropped him off I had tearful eyes but somehow managed to keep my control. On my drive home, as I was thinking/praying about Lee's safety, the waterworks kept coming, but I'm proud to announce that only one tear made it's way to my cheek. With Lee's previous job, he was sent to Laughlin, NV quite often and he would call me every night. But this trip is different, we called T-Mobil to activate the international calling, and the calls are $1 a minute. Yikes! So Lee is going to call me tonight during his layover, and again when he gets to St. Martin. The call will go something like this..."Hi Weezy, I made it safe, I'll see you in a few days, I love you, okay, bye." :( And then he will call me once back in the States. The good news is that the next time he goes, I get to go too! Nice! But my luck, I'll be pregnant, fat and on bed rest! Ha ha ha... "good heavens" ..... ummm, I'm already bored.

I totally know that feeling! It's hard to let them go! BUt it makes you appreciate them so much more when they are home and in your arms again! Try to stay busy! Thats bout the best thing for me while Hans is gone. Hard to do, but it somewhat helps ease the pain!

So you're pregnant huh? Congrats! I always knew you'd make cute babies! You can come over if you're sad and bored. I'm usually home alone in the evenings because Alber has class. We can quilt and talk about how we're not as young as we used to be!

Hey Sheree!! How you holding up? Are the nights the hardest for you? They are for me! You're a couple of days in which means you're a couple of days closer to Lee coming home!

This Tues 6pm- come hang out with us at Huffines home and attempt to make homemade bread (freeze it for your hubby so he'll be impressed at what you did while he was gone.) Consider this a personal invitation and just come on out, would ya!! =o)

And are you really pregnant? I am terrible with facetiousness?

Well, at least you are only down to a couple of days! The hugs and kisses are so much more appreciated when the guys have been gone for awhile. I still have about a month left before Hans comes home. He is supposed to be home right before Thanksgiving! Not fun. I dont know hoe other spouses do it when they have to be seperated for 6 months or more. I think I would have to move home at that point!!! LOL
