Recharged... for now.

If you're a frequent reader of my blog, you know that I am absolutely crazy about my husband. It is also no surprise that we miss each other a whole, whole lot.

The past two weeks have been the busiest for me as far as school is concerned. We haven't be able to talk for much more than 10 minutes a day. Yes, a mere 10 minutes. This was starting to take it's toll on us. We were both down, upset, and had an overall negative outlook on a lot of things.

Andrew was able to come home this weekend. Although we were together for only a day, it was just what we both needed to make it through the next 12 days. Yes, only 12! While it was still not easy to say goodbye early this morning, I am very excited that our time apart is now less than two weeks.

We didn't do anything spectacular. I took the Praxis, he did yardwork, we went to the mall, and we watched a movie. But, it was SO GOOD to spend time with my best friend. We joked, we laughed, and we soaked up all the time we could.

We cannot wait until this time apart is over. As quickly as it's gone by in some ways, it's felt like an eternity in others. We are truly the happiest when we are together... and we are very thankful that we will be together soon.

So, here's to an excellent weekend! I love you, Andrew!

Oops...

"Well I'll never forget the first time that I heard
That pretty mouth say that dirty word

And I can't even remember now what she backed my truck into

But she covered her mouth and her face got red

And she just looked so darn cute

That I couldn't even act like I was mad

Yeah I live for little moments like that"

You guessed it... I backed into something. The carport pole to be exact.

The weather was fine one minute, and the next we had sideways rain, wind, and tornado sirens going off. It happened that quickly.

I am normally not scared of storms, and I usually have to be coaxed into going to Helen's house up the street. This time, I went willingly.

I had pulled closer to the passenger side poles today in order for my friend to have more room to walk through to the sidewalk.

I was also in a hurry because I had 10-15 minutes to get to safety.

I was able to piece the outer shell back together. I gave myself a minor cut in the process. I used a little duct tape to hold it until Andrew gets here on Friday. Ugh.

If you were to guess that I am in tears right now, you would be correct. I have be SO stressed with everything... school, moving, storms EVERY.SINGLE.DAY, living apart from Andrew, etc. This just added fuel to the fire, and I hit my breaking point.

I am normally a very attentive driver, and I chalk this one up to being so scared. I just wish I had done it to my car.

The good news? I'm safe... and our house is intact.

P.S. I didn't say a single bad word... promise.
