Heard the sad news today that Rob isn't coming home till Saturday. Ugh, this has been a long month without him. I think the hardest part is that we didn't anticipate being apart so long. I only packed a week's worth of clothes for Rob as he ran out the door to make it to the airport on time.
Time apart has its blessings. You come to appreciate your time together so much more. I haven't wanted to cook a meal in forever and right now the thought of sitting down to a home cooked favorite sounds like bliss! The nights I head off to bed and could be enjoying a romantic comedy with my hubby...
This past month has been challenging for several reasons. There is a lot of uncertainty right now in our lives and processing this emotion while physically distant is tugging at our hearts. Feeling some what alone and isolated is to be expected and yet I find my days filled with activities. Knowing that once Rob gets home, he has a month's worth of work waiting for him here, is hard. I will be back off to San Diego for school and we will have more time apart.
I think the most challenging part of life right now is not seeing the outcome of our work. Rob always says, "the work is up to us, the outcome is up to God". So true, yet it requires humility and faith. Please pray for us.
So on the flip side...how excited am I that I get to see my best friend and partner in a week? You can't see it right now but I am smiling ear to ear!
