Home Alone

Dustin is Young Men's Secretary... and young men go on campouts. Dustin found out there was a campout on Wednesday... and then decided Thursday that he would go... So here I am, on Friday, home alone for the first time in my married life. Today was a CRAZY day at work. Things were going wrong with the database, lots of work still to do, problems with payments, and a million tickets I received in my inbox. It felt like a Monday more than a Friday. Added on top was the dreaded knowledge that I would see Dustin for maybe 5 mins. today... I'm so much happier when I get to see him. So by 4:45, I was SO ready to leave work, despite the huge workload that awaits me on Monday. I just wanted to see Dustin before he was gone at 5.
I picked Dustin up and dropped him off at the church. Then I came home and cried a litte. That's right, i cried. I missed him already. We've never had to spend a night apart for the past like forever. And Weds and Thursdays we don't see each other much anyway between work, school, and piano... so Fridays are our days to reconnect and see each other, spend quality time together... and here I was alone on a Friday. Really, I was am sad! So I decided I should make a date with myself and go out to dinner to Cafe Rio with a peanut butter chocolate Reeces shake from Iceberg.... yeah, i treat myself right. ;) I came home to watch some high quality TLC and FoodNetwork. I did a little scan prep and wrote a couple wedding thank yous, then back to Say Yes to the Dress and Unwrapped. I got to have a nice chat with Andrea while eating ice cream, and Nicole also came over to visit and bring her new puppy, which, and I DON'T LIKE DOGS, but her puppy is SUPER cute and cuddly. I hear Momma Creer even calls the puppy her grandbaby. Ha ha, maybe she's trying to get used to that title, though I have no announcements. :)
I think I'll go to bed pretty soon because I do have to get up tomorrow morning and teach piano. I don't know how i'll sleep tonight without Dustin. I really do miss him and I might not let him leave again. ha ha ha. Next time I'll just need to have more prep time to get some girls together for a fun-filled girls night instead of one day.
I miss him a lot.

I remember Kevin's first time away--he went camping with the guys for a week. Esther brought me a night light! It was MUCH appreciated. I hope you survived and are able to do something fun with him soon!

We've been apart a few times in the nearly four years we've been married and it's lonely every time for me. He has to go to Houston for training next month for two weeks.. I know that will be hard, especially in my big empty house. But we always have the phone, right?:)

Cafe Rio is not the same as Top Ramen... :)
