School

So.. Its official... I don't have a husband.(or so it feels)
He leaves in the morning(some mornings before Kennedy and I wake up) and comes home anytime after
7 until 9:30pm, then he has to study....
And I am the one complaining! I shouldn't be, He does so much for me...
Poor guy, his work is now in Draper and his commute from work to school has doubled,
(60-90+ miles a day)
with about 3 classes (morning, noon, and night) a day,
driving back and forth so he can get enough hours to stay full time to keep insurance for us.
To top it off having a super long prep class on Saturday mornings/afternoon.
with the GMAT in Oct.
And then hes at church for 7 hours on Sundays...
(No sleeping in for him. at all..)
He is a busy guy, and I am so lucky to be home with Kennedy,
seriously, I feel so blessed.
I know that we have it easy compared to some of you,
At least he is in the same state, let alone country.. and I know he is safe!
I am just a lonely wife/mom who misses her husband! (and needed to vent...)
Don't get me wrong, I know this is only temporary, I see the end in sight!
My life is truly great! I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything!
It just makes me value the time I do get with him...
OH HOW I LOVE HIM!
Only 94 days until school this semester is over,
and 245 days until he GRADUATES! :)
but who's counting..?

Then Masters..
But we won't talk about that now...

Hang in there, Soap. You get used to the time they spend away (not that you get used to not having them around, but it will get easier)

I think Sundays are the worst because you feel like that's when they are supposed to be home and they're not. At least that's how I feel when Dan's doing singles' ward stuff. That's a bummer about multiple commutes per day, one is bad enough!

Oh no, I'm so sorry. Its hard but you have such a great attitude - you are grateful and not resentful - that will make all the difference. You are such a sweetie and Andrew is so great and hardworking, but you knew that, so don't be lonely, just call me to play instead - I think my craft closet is feeling just as neglected and lonely, maybe you two could be friends? :)
