Rich is in Canada for his biannual fishing trip with my dad, brother Dustin, and our soon-to-be brother in-law Dan. You should have seen his face as he was packing up the truck. I haven't seen him that excited since.....The last Canada trip. Rich has been gone for weeks at a time for work, but this is different. I can't talk to him. There is no cell reception where he is. Whenever he travels for work, we always call each other to say "good morning" and "good night." Annessa and I get into our routine and actually, the weeks that he is gone go by pretty fast. But last night, I had a hard time falling asleep. I think it was because I didn't get to say "good night" to my best friend.
Why is it that when Rich is here every day, I take him for granted? Why is it that as he was leaving, I found the need to start a fight with him? Actually, I can answer that: It's much easier to say goodbye to someone when you are slightly annoyed with him or her.
Anyway, I will be saying lots of prayers this week that Rich has a great time with the guys and that they do some "male bonding." That they get home safely and have lots of stories to tell (which, if you know my husband, this is a given). I will also be praising God for a marriage I love.
About Me
- Autumn
- I started this blog as a journal about our family. The days go by so fast and this is my attempt to hold them still. The blog catches snippets of our life, photos, bits of conversation, and lots of reflection…. My inspiration is, of course, our daughter Annessa – our “happy-ness.” Rich and I married in 2003. We met in college and as funny as it sounds, I knew on our first date that he was the man I would marry. We were blessed with our daughters, Annessa, in August of 2007 and Elaina in November 2013. They are the world to us and we are committed to helping them become the women God intends them to be.
