Last week Matt went to Wood badge. It was the longest week of my entire life!! Not only was it the longest I've ever been away from him (Monday-Saturday), but I also had hardly any contact with him that week. It was miserable. I don't understand how some of you do it that have husbands that travel a lot or ones that work so that you hardly ever see them. Maybe I'm a baby, but I have a hard time when he's gone. When Matt gets home from work, it's like a breath of fresh air!! He plays with our kids and provides adult conversation for me! I love to be around him! We did get to talk twice while he was away on another guys cell phone, however it was 5 min conversations. I worried all week too, because of the bad weather and knowing he was high in the mountains sleeping in a tent. There were only a few good things to a week without him, a cleaner house and a bigger bed! I was surprise how much of a difference it made in having him gone, I didn't realize how messy he is! (I'm only half kidding about that) I'd much rather have him home though then have a bigger bed and a cleaner house. I'm glad to have him home and have life back to normal. He is the best ever!! Am I pathetic or what!
Side note: My wonderful sister-in-law took some cute pictures of my kids and as soon as I get them I will be posting them!

I'm the exact same way when Charlie is away from us or when we're away from him! When we go on vacation without him, I always cry because I miss being with him and having the extra help! So no, you are not pathetic.
You have such a darling family. We sure do miss seeing you guys. We hope to come up for Heather's wedding. Oh yeah--we will be up for Bear Lake too!! We have to have fun!
Not pathetic! I am the same way! I also worry to much.. I think we get it from our moms! :) We missed you on Saturday! Hope to see ya soon!
Um...HELP. Dave leaves Monday for scout camp. I really don't know if I can do it. I'm a super wuss.
So not pathetic. That's a long time w/o a husband when you've got 3 kids! Mon-Sat?! Wow, Jes! The longest Klint has been gone is a day and on those days I get a taste of single-mom life...I'm SO grateful I have a best friend/partner to share the load with!
:) I think the thing I love most about blogging is that for the most part there isn't a 'man-hater' in the bunch...it makes me happy that people like their spouses...(especially when they are my favorite cousin :)) love's what makes the world go round! even with the mess ;)
I just found your blog on Amy's! Your kids are adorable. It's crazy that how time flies. I can definitely relate, I go crazy when my husband is away( or has finals!)
