Catching Up

by

hands.jpgIt feels like a lot has happened since the sites went down, but I have a sinking feeling that it actually wasn’t that much. Haha. I plan to catch up on the Love Questions I missed while I was gone and I’m hoping to find some new things to put here to spice things up a bit. If you have any suggestions for relationship-related content (jokes, comics, post subjects, etc) let me know.

While the sites were down, my husband did end up going on a work trip that separated us for nearly five days (he got home in the evening and I had about two hours with him before bed) and everything went well. He had a safe trip back and forth and we both tolerated our first separation quite well.

We had a little hiccup when he got back, but things are settling down and I’m very glad to have him back. He has mentioned that he probably has to go back soon. While I’d love to go with him again this time, I might not be able to. At least I know this time that things will be fine.

It took him actually going away for a while for me to realize that I wasn’t thinking something would actually happen to him. The reason for my upset more came from me having to face my fear of what would happen if something happened to him.

As a pleasant surprise, many people stepped forward to let me know they would be there if something happened, and that felt great knowing how many people care that much about me and my husband.

This weekend we’re planning a special day out to catch up (he had to go straight back to work and has been working late) and relax.

What are your weekend plans?
