Only Me Here.....

I miss my boys...Cooper, Griffen and Justin! I am home all alone this weekend and I am really not liking it. It always sounds good to have a moment to yourself to do things or to do nothing at all (I thought I would use this time to clean the house and get things ready for spring and that it would be great!) Not the case...I hate it, I went to church today. Justin and I are in the nursery, that only made me miss him more. I sat in sacrament alone in peace and quiet and I ended up only missing the boys more. I mean, I did this for how long every other weekend before Justin and I met? Well, let's look on the bright side. The house looks incredible, the laundry is done, the toys are all organized, the carpet is vacuumed, there is no dust to be found anywhere and every toilet seat in the house is down!!! Still, I would rather it be the other way around. On the other hand, what good does that do me? Nobody is coming over, nobody will see it. Fabulous!
I miss my husband. This is the longest we have been apart, probably since we have been dating (OK, for sure since we have been dating). He only left yesterday, sheesh! While we're on the subject, let's be honest; the way I run to the phone when it rings is sickening:) You'd think I was a love struck teenager, I love him so much! He had to go to San Antonio with his dad for a work convention. He'll be gone until Thursday.
I miss Cooper and Griffy. They are with their dad and though this every other weekend thing has become a part of our lives...it never gets easy to have them gone Friday night to Sunday night. Even though at some point during the week I swear all I need is a minute to myself. I know that it isn't the truth, the moment they leave I miss them.
I guess that sometimes it is good to have moment apart from your loved ones because you take the time (or your forced) to realize how much you love them, what they mean to you and to appreciate them a little more. It's not that I don't know that when they are all here I just need to be better at showing it when they are here.
Enough of my whining, to make this rant worthwhile all who reads this must go and tell your husband or wife what he/she means to you and spend some extra quality time with your kids. I know that I am going to the second I get that chance!

I hear you! I spent the night in Logan with my friend Serena a couple weeks ago, it was the first night away from Adam in such a long time! I got HOMESICK! Seriously!

You and your family are so cute! I can't wait to meet your husband one of these days!
