I Love My Husband!

So I got off of work yesterday and called my husband like I have done everyday since he left. We talk about our day then I always tell him I will call him when I get home. So Olivia and I head home and I get dinner going and get some laundry going and Call Matt back. We start talking about the job and I didn't think anything about the fact that he was driving. The original plan the day before was he was coming home the end of next week. But to my surprise when I finally caught on he was about 4 1/2 hours away from home.
I was stoked and crying! I know imagine that me "Emotional" LOL. Well anyways I scrambled around and cleaned up until he got home. It wasn't too bad but I wanted to get all my weekend cleaning done so I didn't have to do anything the whole weekend.
So I decided that I would not tell Olivia that Daddy was coming home, she still thought that it would be another week. I really wanted daddy to be the one to just show up. Well she fell asleep about 9:45 and he got home between 10:30 and 11. of course I didn't want to quit hugging him but I have to share. ;) He went in and woke her up (poor girl is so much like me) She woke up and looked at him and went back to sleep. Needless to say this morning when she came in our room and saw him laying there it was priceless and once again I was tearing up. She latched on to him and hasn't really let go all day. I love my little family and the best news is that I get him till June. I am stoked to be coming home to him everynight next week. I do believe the next time he leaves will be harder for all of us but eventually we will get into a groove! He is one amazing man that does what has to be done for his family even if it means living in a hotel for a month at a time. But he is good at what he does and he loves it. Well I am off here to cuddle and watch another movie.

Going on Week 3!

Okay so this week will be the 3rd week that I have not seen my husband. He has taken a new job and is traveling with a good company out of North Carolina. We talk and text several times a day but it just not the same.
I have to say this has been the hardest thing our family has ever had to go through and I feel we are doing as well as expected. My bosses let me have Friday off because I felt very overwhelmed with all the changes in my life right now, so I took the day to myslef while Olivia was at school. I feel very refreshed and am ready to head into the week with a new attitude!
I have a tendancy in taking things out on others without even realized so this weekend i have done a lot of praying and asking for some major patience and I think I got the answer I was looking for. I have come to realize many things this weekend and done a lot of sole searching and I feel that I am ready to try it all out and be thankful for everything I have and not focus on the negative. I have an amazing husband who is sacraficing time away from his family to do what is best for us.
It does make it easier because we make it a habit every night to call daddy so we can say prayers right before bed because that was a habit before he left. I will say the worst part of every night is saying good night knowing he is not going to be next to me in bed and won't be there when I wake up.
Well I will say good bye for now! Here is my amazing Husband!
