Ok, so hubby got to come home for a few days from the Middle East and I'm so happy.  Figuring we needed a vacation we took Leah and headed to Seattle because we are thinking about moving there soon.  The 4 days we were there ran by so quickly and bang...back in North Carolina.  I wanted Leah to see her grandparents and great grandparents because they are sick and most likely won't be around for too much longer because of pancreatic cancer, so I told my husband to take her to visit with his ridiculously huge family in Florida.  So they left on Thursday and will be back on Saturday and needless to say I miss her soooooo freaking much.  It's the first time we've ever been away from each other like this.  I seriously was needing a break and thought I'd sleep and sleep but no way, I kept wondering what she was doing and how she was doing, did hubby feed her when he was supposed to and did he give her the right amount of medicine.  I miss them so much.  It sucks though because he goes back to work in the Middle East on Wednesday, geez where does the time go? 

I love "actively" being married, having someone there when I wake up and someone to cook for.  Someone to carry a conversation with...Leah talks to me but unfortunately I don't understand most of what she says, lol but she's a good listener.  I love going food shopping with hubby and having nonsense talk about what celebrity did what.  Just the other day I sat and watched him tailor curtains for me and I was amazed and felt so incredibly happy and content. 

Leah took to him so quickly, in 5 minutes after waking up she looked at his picture, looked back at him and said "da da?"  I almost cried, now she's stuck to him like a little monkey just hanging off his neck and they are constantly playing.  I can't believe that on Wednesday all of that happiness comes to an end all over again.  I'm so sick and tired of him only being home for a few days and then gone for months.  Missing birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and developmental milestones but I'm thankful for whatever time God has given us together.
