{I need to print this out as a reminder- sometimes I just get lazy..}

 

 

Wednesday Agenda

Pick up New battery for Truck

Meet with Real Estate Agent to sign papers & put house back on market. {I found a more aggressive REA and I have a great feeling that she is going to sell our house quick!}

Bank Deposit

Meeting at office to get job details

Mow Grass at our other house

Run to store to pick up marshmallows, fall costumes, veggie & fruit supplies for Fall Festival.

Pay off Bank Loan- Yay!!

Work out at 6:00 with SIL



I have so much to do tomorrow, but honestly, I am really excited because we are accomplishing THREE very important life goals-

1. Jobs in the office
2. Pay off Bank Loan
3. Putting House back on the Market

Life has been a little rough on us the last couple of years, but things are starting to look up and I'm excited for our future. I know that GOD has a plan for our future, for good and not evil, so I am leaving it in his capable hands...
 

** Edited - We also met with our loan officer to get our Land Loans renewed and ended up having lunch with the office people, so we got even more accomplished! BUT, we didn't make it to the store & I missed my workout.

7.} Helps me cook dinner..

8.} Kisses me so passionately, I missed his kisses...

9.} Runs his fingers through my hair, I love when he does this..

Date Night....

As everyone knows, MOH is coming home tomorrow {after 18 days apart} and we are going to have a date night, but I can't decide what to wear. What do you guys think?? I would love your advice..

No more....

Hey guys! I had the best time thrifting with my sister the other day, we both ended up with so many cute things- this vintage blanket being one of them. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love, I am thinking it will be perfect when we go camping and I have a cute red vintage thermos to go with. I also found some adorable outfits- I will have some fashion posts coming up soon!


So guess what...tomorrow MOH is finally coming home!! I am so so happy and looking forward to seeing him and spending some time together. Today I have been cleaning the house, carpets, washing linens, etc. so that everything will be nice for him {plus it gives us more time together}.


No more staying up half the night with anxiety..
No more being afraid every time I hear a noise..
No more being lonely and sleeping alone..
No more packing me & the dog up to walk over to my brother's house..
No more eating, drinking coffee alone...
No more having to get up so early every morning to go back home...
No more watching romantic movies or seeing couples hold hands & missing MOH
so bad that it hurts...
No more of my brothers teasing me about me being chicken little...
And last of all..No more moping around & being sad about MOH being gone..


One thing that I know for sure, I am going to be way too excited to sleep tonight! I have about 100 books on my kindle & just downloaded 10 more today, so I will be up late tonight catching up on my reading..

Dear...

Dear God, thank you for keeping me and my family safe and for holding off on the lightning storms that I am deathly afraid of...

Dear Hubby, I miss you more than you will ever know and I pray everyday for you to come home to me safely..

Dear Sister, thank you for coming over today and helping me organize & keeping me company so I wouldn't miss the hubby so much..

Dear Bob Harper, thank you for torturing me through all of those workouts, several people keep asking if I have lost weight!

Dear Nick Peterson from the Bacheolor Pad, you obviously have no idea on how to treat a lady. That was very mean, vowing to share the money with Rachel and going back on your word and making her cry.

Dear Michael Stagliano, I adore you- probably because you remind me of my husband so much.

Dear Starbucks, I miss you so much...I hate that I don't live nearby so I can grab a cup of coffee.

Dear Brother and sweet wife- thanks so much for allowing me to stay over every night, because I am such a chicken little..I really do appreciate it so much.

Dear BFF, thanks for making me watch Jane Eyre- I am now officially hooked. Next up, Pride and Prejudice.

Dear Pinterest, thanks for all of the pretty images- I love you.


That is all.

Things that I am Looking Forward to...

I am really trying hard to stay upbeat, but this is extremely difficult on me with MOH being gone- he is my best friend and I feel like part of me is missing and I won't be complete until he comes back home..so I made this list of things that I am looking forward to.. so maybe it will help me to feel better {at least temporarily}



1.} Girl's shopping Day next Monday!!

2.} MOH {My Other Half} is coming home in about 10 days!!! I am looking forward to some romantic date nights!

3.} UPS Package- I ordered some Raw Vitamins

4.} Bachelor Pad tonight!!! {I'm still sad about Michael S. leaving}

5.} Texts & Calls from MOH- something I look forward to all day..

6.} Sunday Weigh In- my SIL said that I looked like I lost some weight and I can tell my face looks slimmer.

7.} Getting my afternoon workout accomplished!


Going to work out now!! Hope you are all having a fabulous night!

This song makes me think of us..

I Love and miss you babe..can't wait to see you!!!

Part of Me is Missing...

 

 

 



 

 

{At a work site}

You know that list that I made here, about all of the things that I was going to do while the hubby was gone so I wouldn't miss him so much? Yeah, not happening so much...I miss my husband terribly, I cried the night before while laying in his arms, the morning of and the second after he left I cried some more. I knew that I would miss him, but I didn't know that it would be this bad, that I would feel like half of me is missing..I literally have a calendar, marking the days off until he comes home..for the record I have 15 days until he comes back home!


I've tried several things to keep my mind off of it, including going to girl's night with my sister and friends...it was very difficult for me to concentrate on the conversations around me. I have been working out everyday with my SIL, Reading Blogs, Playing on Pinterest. But I haven't really done that much otherwise. I even find it hard to make myself eat or do anything for myself. I guess it's normal to miss your other half this much..I am having to stay at my brother and his wife's house at nights because I can't sleep in the house alone without having anxiety.


One thing is for sure, I know that I never want to spend a night apart from my husband again!


 Here are some of the things that I miss about my husband:

1.} Him making me coffee in the morning & coming to the bedroom to wake me up..

2.} Him & I talking about everything and anything together..

3.} His Smile, His Laughter...

4.} Hanging out with him..riding bikes, swimming at the pool, looking at new techie toys online together..

5.} Him kissing me on the forehead...

6.} Him holding my hand..

7.} Him making me feel safe...

8.} His voice...it so quiet here, the silence is deafening...

9.} Laying in his arms...

10.} Grilling out together..

11.} His encouraging words...

12.} Trips to Starbucks together..

13.} Our Shopping Trips together...

 

Hopefully, my next post will be a little more upbeat..If you guys have any ideas on how I can get out of this funk, let me know!
