Missing my man!

Jake left for Houston, TX on Saturday and won't be back till Friday! He is there for training for his new job at Mattress Firm. Jake and I aren't apart that often (actually he has only taken two other trips without me since we have been married - one was for a couple days and the other was 5 or 6 days).

I fully admit and know its cliche and mushy but its only been a couple days that Jake has been gone but I miss him like crazy. We have known each other for so many years and have been married now for almost 5 years so being apart for very long is tough for both of us. We are like newlyweds who want to spend all their extra time together - which hasn't always been easy over the years with school, jobs and more recently a kid. When Jake goes on trips without me not only do we miss being around each other but we both have a tough time falling asleep (I am sure many couples have a difficult time because you get used to having that person sleep next to you). So I guess its true, we are that lovey-dovey, romantic and mushy couple.

Not only has Jake being gone been tough on me but I feel like the whole house feels different without him. Though Brody can't say or express it, I know he misses Jake too.

I suppose looking on the bright side of the situation I can turn the feelings of missing Jake into feelings of gratitude that I have the life, marriage and family that I have. I am truly happy and thankful to have Jake in my life at all let alone as my husband.
