Love: Colby

Only an amazing husband would know that just minutes after arriving home to an empty house, his crazy wife would turn to blogging before the anxiety kicks in and she has a chance to realize she'll be living alone for the next four days. At LEAST four days.
  The entire drive home I debated on what I could blog about. Nothing came to mind but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. Within minutes of being home I pull up a chair, open my laptop, and find a yellow piece of notepad paper folded on my keyboard. I was only able to read the first line before the tears started rollin.
   "To my amazing Wife & Sweetheart,"
 The rest of the note was too cute. It was exactly what I needed to get me through this next week. I sound pretty dramatic as I mention the tears. Oh boy. It's not that I can't handle being alone it's that being with Colby is so much more eventful and exciting. It kills me to know that he'll be working from before the sun comes up til hours after it goes down then sleeping in a hotel for a few hours then it's back to the grind. I know he can handle it but the thought makes me sick. Colb is one tough cookie and he never ceases to amaze me. I know he will work his butt off this week and by doing so, I bet he loses ten pounds. I just don't know how he'll fit into his church clothes next Sunday or how he'll keep them on I should say.  Today was a little panicky but we managed, next week I don't know if we'll be so lucky.
  I have a really sweet friend who I will meet in real life one day. Until that day comes I will forever enjoy her good advice and sweet comments. CJ saw my status update on facebook - I feel like I live alone. She left this on my 'wall '

"Hang in there :-) It's not fun feeling like you live alone (trust me, I know), but there's one phrase I want you to keep repeating to yourself: short term sacrifice, long term gain. You guys are sacrificing now, so you can be, and do, and have all the things you dream of in the future. It's definitely hard, but it's also definitely worth it."

I'll be reading it every day this week and possibly every time things get a little tough.
  I'm anxious to dive into our little home {all by myself} and do something fun, maybe something crafty, maybe some online shopping :) This week will fly, I'm sure of it! I just hope I don't do anything too exciting without Colb. His favorite part about coming home from work is hearing what I've done while he's gone. ha ha!
   Love him, miss him, and can't wait to see him.
