Two weeks together

Well we finally got our midtour leave! Drew came home for his R & R on September 26th and we spent the next two weeks never leaving each other's side. It was a Sunday morning and I was expecting to hear from him by 9 that morning. By 10:30 I was panicking cause I hadn't even heard a word. Not being able to sleep the night before I had been up for many hours. Curled my hair, put on my favorite outfit just awaiting a phone call so I could go get him from the airport. While on the phone with my mom ranting about my excitement and impatience, I turned around to find my husband in the doorway. I cant describe how excited I was. His flight came in early and he took a cab so he could surprise me. Oh I was surprised! The emotion rushing through my body was undescribable. It had been more than six months since we had been together. Looking back now it seemed like a blink of an eye.

The following day we flew out on our way to Las Vegas, Nevada. That was so much more fun than I anticipated it would be. We walked our butts off and went to two different shows. We went and saw Cirque de soleil and Le Reve. They were both amazing. It was to both of us like the honeymoon we never got. Its funny as it was happening I thought it was the greatest thing ever but looking back not even a month later all I can think about is my time with Drew. Not the lights or the show but holding his hand and curling up next to him late at night. After five short days we flew home in time to meet Drews dad and step mom whom drove all day Friday just to spend what little time they could with us before returning to Idaho where they both have jobs waiting.

The remaining week seemed to just fly by as expected. We stayed up to all hours of the night playing Mario Bros on the Wii and Guesstures. We laughed and cried and shared every moment of every day. We went out and played pool and went bowling. I took him to a restaurant he had never tried. (he loved it by the way) And just like that he was gone again. The night before he left we didnt sleep much. Not wanting to do anything but hold each other.

It's been a month now since he went back and I have to admit, It's hard again. It's a lot harder than before those two weeks together. I work a lot and try to always be busy but things are hard again. Its like I always want more. That phone call or email once a day just doesn't suffice. It will have to do for now until my husband can come home again. I guess that's why I put off writing about our time for so long; I hate thinking about it because I miss him so much! I guess thats all for now.
