while he is away...

Thank GOD its Sunday.

That means only 1 more day until l I get to see my love.

Oh I hate when he is away.

but I am always so happy when I talk to him and he tells me all about his day and that he is having such a great time.  All the boys got a deer. Woohoo. 

They are finding a good balance of play and relaxing.

Other than a minor incident of Ryan getting attacked by a swarm of bees, his trip has gone off without a hitch. and when I heard about the bee incident... I may or may not have had a heart attack and almost cried. It was sad hearing him list off every place he got stung.

So while the man is away I have tried my very best to stay as busy as possible.

I have had a list a mile long of things I wanted and needed to do.

So far. The majority has been checked off and that makes me happy.

I have had just a few break downs missing Ryan and having those crazy thoughts that something might happen to him and what I would do and then pray/beg God to make sure nothing happens to him and that he comes home safe to me.

So what has me and baby boy been up to?
