While My Hubby is Away

Distance makes the heart grow fonder...

Matt is a Marine in the USMC reserves. He works one weekend out of every month and then two weeks during the summer and always on call for duty if needed, (which hasn't happened yet, but he will be going in 2012)

I don't complain about him being away b/c it's part of life and it's part of his job. I especially don't complain b/c, after all, it's ONLY two weeks. To some, that is a lifetime, but for us, and all other military couples, that time period is a dream.
Yes, I do miss him A LOT, but I have to look at the big picture. I also think it is good to be away sometimes; missing each other is a good thing :)

I have tried to stay super busy the past week to help kill some time. I came to my parents' house to stay a few days b/c I needed to get away from Dallas, and to be around people. Even if my mom and I have argued the whole time pretty much, it has still been better then being bored in Dallas. Ethan has enjoyed his time here so much! He has had a few play dates, park visits, and his favorite, pool time!! and can't forget, playing with my sisters puppy and cat! lol

I am going back to my house on Wednesday and I am pretty excited, in a way. I can't wait to get Ethan back on a regular routine and I have a lot of things I wanted to get done around the house b4 Matt gets home on the 20th.

I can't wait to go pick Matt up on Father's Day on base! What an awesome day to come home!! I got him a present from Ethan and I'm really excited for him to see my hair, I'm a blonde again!!!

AND we find out the sex of our baby on the 21st!!! I can't wait!!! I don't care what the sex is, I just want to know so I can start decorating the nursery and getting everything ready for the arrival!! And, so I can start telling Ethan! :)

Only 5 more months!!!
