Man, I haven't written in a while! Sorry about that, everyone. But there have been more important things in my life lately that I'd rather pay attention to than sitting down in front of the laptop!
Don came home from the field a day early! It was wonderful! He texted me Saturday morning basically saying, Don't get your hopes up, but we might be home tonight! Of course, I planned my day according to him coming home that night, staying busy finishing up all the things I wanted to get done before he arrived. And I pretty much accomplished it all! Good thing, too, because he was ready to be picked up from Post at about 6:30!
I drove through the Bavarian countyside, Shania Twain turned up loud, singing along with a smile on my face to songs about love love love! The way I felt reminded me of when Don & I were dating long distance, seeing each other for maybe one weekend a month. The butterflies in my stomach knowing that I would see him soon. The constant silly grin slapped across my face. And yes, after parking the Mini in Don's Battery Headquarters parking lot & waiting for him to come out, when I finally saw him, I hopped out of the car & ran to him for a big hug & kiss! Had it really only been two weeks?! It felt like much longer than that, & boy was it good to be back together! And he'd even stayed true to his "out in the field" tradition of growing a little mustache..."Just for you", he says with a grin.
His birthday was Sunday the 21st, & we spent the day relaxing together, snuggling on the sofa, & eating good food! I made brisket with homemade BBQ sauce, rosemary & garlic potatoes, & yummy salad, & German Chocolate Cake. We even had Champagne! It was a good day. And he had Monday off, which was fabulous!
Isn't it neat that when you are so in love, there is no need to go out each night? No need to go to parties or clubs. Just being together, wrapped in each other's arms, watching TV & talking about your day is all that you need! And all that you want.
I'm so glad that he is home! {The photo is from our trip to Prague last May. Although you can't see where we are, it's one of my favorites of the two of us! We were standing on the Charles Bridge, & it was gorgeous!} I hope that you all had an equally enjoyable & lovable weekend! ♥
Glad you all are together again, its good to have your guy around whenever possible. :-)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! You are so right! You learn to cherish all the moments together ♥ Have a wonderful day, Erin!
ReplyDeleteYay!~ I'm so happy that you're back and blogging - I've been missing out on your daily scoop ;)
ReplyDeletePS- I read your blog comment, and YES you should definitely try them with choc chips! That's always a yummy substitute when I have a super sweet tooth :)
oh my goodness, i can relate to almost every word in this post. i only get to see my love about a weekend a month now that i am away at school and all those feelings you describes I know them all too well. now, the upside of long distance is the minute you see them again and you want to do is run to them and never let them go :D. it also teaches us never to take out time together for granted, and that has never been a problem for us ;). the best of luck darling!

i love how you can write exactly how you feel and make me feel the same exact thing (not for your husband of course! haha) for LOVE and all that it does and all the power it holds. I really just adore the idea of couples who are TRULY in LOVE for better or for worst and the couples that are willing to sacrifice in order to keep that LOVE... It is so inspiring. As a young woman in a generation of more BOYS than Men, ratio wise, I feel sometimes hopeless in what is out there. LoL. But at the same time I know that God has his mighty hand over my life and the life of some man out there waiting to call me his beloved wife. I feel like I'm reading a clip out of an amazing fiction romance when you write about your man girl :). Like a good Nicholas Sparks, Or Francine Rivers book... ahhhh the bliss of love.. it really does spread.. infectious little thing it is..
