Less than 24 hours ago, I dropped him off to fly home. Isn't it funny how in such a short period of time, you can miss someone so much? It isn't that I can't function here without him - I did that for 26 years before we were married. It is more that I don't want to function here without him. He is my other half. I'm not complete when he isn't here.
Today we start the road trip with my parents, two of my sisters and my 18 month old niece. I would much rather be making this trip with him along, but he did have to get home to relieve his dad and take care of our doggies. He is also going to help run my volleyball/basketball practice on Tuesday. It is nice to know that things are taken care of there.
But I still miss him. You can say, "ewww...gross" if you want, but it's true. We are coming up on our 5th anniversary in a few weeks and I'm so thankful to have the privilege of walking the path God has for us with my wonderful husband.

Well, Peter would say "Ewww" but I think it is wonderful that you both are one. It's a beautiful thing to see a couple going strong like you two. Mike looked ok in service, but I was a mess without you. Are you EVER going to be there when I do a special?? :)
Miss you girl. Hope things go well with travel.
That's not gross...it's very sweet! I'm the same way with Jason. I feel very "lost" without him.
I think it's very sad when I see couples who are perfectly content not spending time together. That's not a marriage!
Personally, I don't want to become so independent that I feel fine without him. I love having someone to "lean" on. =)
(P.S. Happy Early Anniversary!)
I understand, too. I was 26 when Tim and I got married; before then and even now, I traveled the world on my own and tended to be a person who handled difficult situations without falling apart (grace of God) - that is still me for the most part, though God has softened and gentled me some, I hope. But the thought of having to be apart from Tim for even a night (or even when he can't make it home from the studio for lunch) can cause me to fall apart quicker than just about anything else. He's not just my husband, he's my best friend, my favorite companion, about the only one with whom I'm comfortable having a real "fight,"... I miss his presence when he's not around.
Yep - I agree completely - there's something wrong with you if your not missin' your other half! Ewww!
Heehee...this post made me laugh! I used to be a big loud "EEEWWWW"-er about stuff like that, but scarily enough, I feel kinda the same way about my Mike. We're not married (we've been dating for about 9 months) but we were friends for years before the dating started & I now kinda understand what you're talking about. I'm glad to hear that you're so happily married. And I'm praying that the Lord will bless your efforts to adopt!
