First Night Alone

Tonight is a first for me. After being married five 1/2 years to my wonderful, terrific husband we are spending the night apart. Well I take that back. When I had my gallbladder out in Jan. I stayed in the hospital alone that night, but I was so drugged and disoriented that it really doesn't count. He is Madison, WI for some work thing that he had to do.
My Pastor has to travel quite a bit for his "Tent making" job and he is gone usually longer then two days. I just don't understand how his wife deals with it so well. I mean my mind tends to run sometime and I can't stop it, and it is usually not with good thoughts. Like what am I going to do if his plane were to crash or he were to get into a car accident over there or something like that. I don't really like to think about what life would be like if he were gone :-(
My best defence to it lately has been to just pray to God and ask for him to take away the thoughts in my head and to give me peace of mind. You want to know the BEST PART? HE DOES!!! He is truly wonderful. I guess that I really answered my own question from earlier How does my pastors wife do it? With the help of the one true almighty God.
With that being said though I can't help but miss Matt when he is gone. The one thing that I am glad of is that this is not a normal thing for his job. My father in law was here this morning and he said that it would be nice if someone noticed Matt and offered him a job traveling around the country doing things like this. All I could think was (NO offence Mike) No Way. Unless I get to go with him :-)
OH yeah there was one other thing that I had forgotten to mention while all of this was going on (Matt leaving) I have also had to deal with having to study for a lab practical. one word to that AGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! It is almost too much to handle sometimes.
Well anyway I had better get to bed I suppose some sleep would be good. If that is even possible. :-)

Family Fun

Okay, so last weekend we went up to the cabin with my parents and went snowmobiling. That was awesome. The kids had a lot of fun as did Matt and of course my self. It was so nice to just get away for the weekend especially after everything that we are going through with Matt's Family. The fist day that we were up there it was quite nice the weather was good and the trails were kind of bumpy but none the less it was a great time. The second day was like -2 degrees and bitter cold, but if you were to bundle up just right it was not so bad. (This coming from a person that hates winter and can't stand the cold.) Anyway I can't wait to get out there again, I am just afraid that it will have to until next year.

Kelly is learning the Guitar :-) She's been strummin on it for a few weeks now and is getting better every week. I would post a sound clip, but I'm not sure she would say she's ready for the big time yet ;)

Thanks Mike!
