Well, my handsome husband took off early yesterday morning for his summer internship in Newport Beach, CA. I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't crying -- keeping in mind I'll be a widow until the end of August, but I'm actually doing quite well now. Here are 10 things that are making me happy:
(1) Knowing that our little Acura is better than we thought. I was sure it was going to break down on the long, hot drive to CA. It had no problems, though!
(2) Multiple phone calls and texts from Josh. It reminds me of our engagement when we couldn't see each other every day.
(3) Gala apples.
(4) Clear skies with a slight breeze.
(5) Walking to school. I love being outside and moving and having some time to think. (We'll see if I still feel this way after being car-less for the rest of the summer!)
(6) The Visiting Teaching program.
(7) PB & J's with chunky peanut butter, my mom's homemade strawberry jam, and Macey's white bread. I know, I know, white bread is evil. I hadn't bought it in years, but I just bought a loaf and it's so yummy for PB & J's. It reminds me of being a little kid. (What brought on my sudden craving for white bread? Having about 5 big slices of Becky's yummy homemade white bread at the Hawkins BBQ on Monday. YUM)
(8) Listening to John Mayer.
(9) "Tight-rope-walking" along the street curbs on my way to class.
(10) Counting down the days until July 18th, when I'll be flying to California to visit Josh and to celebrate our anniversary. Definitely a happy thought!

Lar! What a tough thing! I'm so sorry. Dan is going to be gone all next week - so maybe I'll give you a call & we can console each other. :) (I love your cravings)
that is insane! i can't believe you are going to spend such a long time away from each other!
i can't believe the time is here already! I can't wait to see josh's long hair and dark skin when he returns. Call me soon!!! we have lots to talk about!
We've enjoyed having Josh with us the last couple days. I hope you get to visit us during his internship!
Laura, I'm in the same boat! And I am NOT looking forward to it. Jacob leaves in 3 weeks and will be gone til Mid-September! UGH!
I feel for you. and I love you. Try to get lost in some art projects to help pass the time.
So cute!! I am glad that Acura made it, and that you are finding things to keep you busy and happy. we will ahve to get together soon!!
Clear a day or night for us to hang out with you!
We just got home from Newport Beach YESTERDAY!! We might have passed Josh on his drive through the desert. I'm sorry he will be gone, if you need some company or a ride, give me a call!
Wish I was there and we could get together or something! Totally missing family right now!!!
