Our Last Weekend

So I really wanted to make the last weekend we have together for 6 months special. I took friday off so I could spend it with him. We took his niece Julia to go see Disney on Ice in Oakland to celebrate her 4th birthday. I loved the show and she liked the show and he was completely bored. I guess I'll just leave him home next time. Julia wanted us to buy her everything under the sun, but somehow we managed to bribe her with lunch and a girl scout cookie lol. Friday afternoon was spent cleaning our house as Jon BBQ'd tritip for the party we had with our friends later that night. About 12 people showed up and we ate, laughed, played oink piggy oink, the candy bar game, taboo and a paper bag game. We had a lot of fun laughing, talking and just hanging out. Saturday was supposed to be our lazy day, with not much to do. We slept in, which was nice because that hasn't happened on a saturday morning since we've been married, did some laundry, got treated to lunch by our friend Lindsey, went to Target so he could get the stuff he needed, saw Rango at the movie theatre, went to yogolicious for some delicious frozen yogurt, and came home and watched Big Redneck Wedding and Larry the Cable Guy (so classy I know). The emotion of it all started to hit me and the tears began to roll. I did not want to go to sleep because that would mean we would be closer to him leaving. Sunday morning we woke up and went to church in Ceres because my cousin was going to be blessed, we left after sacrament meeting because he only had a few hours left before he had to go to the recruiters office. I spent much of that time desperately trying to avoid more tears but it was an impossible task. The worst part was when I got home from dropping him off, I couldn't help but sob because I will be home all by myself for the better part of 6 months. The adjustment will take time, but I know I can make it through. It'll be worth it in the end, I hope.
