Just because I can’t sleep now, I’ll write a little about my birthday weekend.
We picked Jeremy up from the airport late Thursday night and I got the 1st of several very sweet birthday cards then. Friday morning we got to sleep in while the kids headed off to school, and we had a bit of a lazy day, which I think we both really needed! I also got another birthday card that morning, a funny one that time. After the kids got home from school (and Jeremy changed a tire on my car), I got a card from each of the kids, and another very sweet one from Jeremy, as well as a necklace with hearts and a pink sapphire, which I absolutely LOVE! Then we went into town and got a quick dinner at a Hawaiian BBQ place by the theater, and then we went and watched “The Dark Knight” at the IMAX. Definitely a good movie, but pretty twisted.
Then, because we couldn’t find a ColdStone close enough, we hit the Dairy Queen for some ice cream before we went bowling. Bowling was fun but the kids were getting a little cranky and started fussing, so after 2 rounds, we called it quits and headed home.
Saturday, we made breakfast, gathered up some garbage that needed to go to the dump (what a fun weekend chore when your boyfriend is visiting, eh?) and then went and disposed of that, met up with Karen and helped them do some moving for the rest of the day. The new house is great, they are mostly settled in now! Jeremy played a couple of games of flashlight tag with all the kids and then we headed back.
Today was church, then off to the airport 
. We had lunch at a Mongolian BBQ place, then dropped him off at the airport, I had just taken our exit when he called to say that he hadn’t been able to check his bag and I needed to come back and get it, so we turned around and went back, got the bag, he made a mad dash for the security line and we took off again. I had just pulled up to get gas at the gas station at our exit and the phone rang again. They’d given his seat away, and he wouldn’t be able to get on another flight till later in the evening, so we got gas and headed BACK to the airport, where we got to spend a few more precious hours with him while he attempted to get some work done.
Now, we’re back home. Coming home is the toughest part of all. It always amazes me how quickly he becomes a part of our everyday lives, and then it seems weird when he isn’t here. I honestly did not know that it was possible to love someone even more with every passing day.
I do have some pictures, but since it is already getting late, I’m going to wait till another day to add them.
