Back to Routine

My last post was quite "facebook cryptic". I apologize for such.

My parents and husband secretly planned for him to fly back to Vegas for Christmas.  It was amazingly wonderful to be in my husband's arms again and to hear his voice in person, not through the advancement of phone technology.  I miss him so terribly much.  This has been a lot harder than I ever expected.  A lot of our preconceived notions and plans just have not worked out the way we had hoped.  It has caused a lot of stress.  But for those few beautifully, wonderful days; it all melted away and everything seemed right again.  He arrived Thursday night before Christmas and flew back to Dallas on Monday afternoon/evening after Christmas.  Here it is now Thursday and I already feel the weight of my longing hard upon my heart and shoulders.  Now begins the long haul until he can make a return trip. At the earliest, I expect maybe sometime in February.  Its even more likely that it will not be until March.  And those will be very quick turn around trips as well...he'll have to drive out one night, spend the next day resting, and drive back the day after that.  Those trips are just to help bring all our ridiculous amount of belongings back from Texas, in hopes that in May its a one smaller truck load trip.

So now that we have spent weeks off of routines and schedules, and the holiday madness is all over, it is time for us to get back on track.  I am hoping that helps the boys feel some normalcy again and that I can get myself back into the groove as well.  Here's to hoping anyway.
