Absence make the heart grow fonder...

Clint and I knew at the beginning of the year that he was going to be consistently gone a lot during the week for work. Training others, being trained, etc. So now we are left to adjust. Things have gone okay so far. We have been lucky enough that the trips have been here in IA or not all week so we can see each other some. It's hard when he's gone all week, I work the weekend and then he leaves again on Monday for a week though. Which is were we are right now. Flat out stinks! I haven't figured out how to easily fall asleep at night without him. The dogs love to snuggle but they just aren't the same. I miss coming home at night to no hubby and no dinner and no lights. I would rather be here though then doing what he does. I can't imagine having to wake up in a new hotel room in a different city every morning. Not having anything of my own to use or make me feel comfortable. He is certainly amazing. He is working hard to give us the life we dream of. He never complains and he never gives up. He continues to find the best in the situation and make the best of being apart. It has made us treasure the time we are able to spend together that much more though. I get so excited at the end of the week for him to come home. The dogs and I watch for him and shower him with hugs and kisses when he arrives.

Catch up

Yes I know, I know, I am behind again on blogging. Clint and I have both been working crazy hours lately. Heck it took us a month to go 1 block to see our friends new baby. Clint's been out of town a lot lately and I have been working extra hours at the hospital on top of my usual 36 there and 10 at FMH. Insanity I tell you!

So what is new? Really, nothing. We work, we eat, we sleep, we clean and that's about it. We had a very eventful day today. Suit & glasses shopping. Clint needed a couple new suits, I needed new glasses. All in all we got everything we needed and then some. I now know what size suit, shoe, and dress shirt my husband wears. I suppose that's something every wife should know but I have a feeling that means next time I will just get a list of what is needed for an upcoming meeting or event. It was interesting to see them fit him and see how many different suits there were to choose from. It's kind of like shopping for a wedding dress without the emotions attached. Massive amounts of the same yet slightly different. In the end he ended up with 2 nice suits, a new plain black one and a brown pinstripe kind of deal. He got new shoes, a new belt, new shirts and new ties... and I got a pair of glasses and a new purse. That's a fair deal right?! We both hate shopping so much I was actually quite impressed with the outcome. Now for a new shower curtain and a hair cut and we will be set for awhile... I hope!
