I miss you

Today I decided to go stay with my parents for a few days. Now before you assume that it’s because of marital problems, catch yourself because that couldn’t be further from the truth. You see, I am a SUPER chatty lady and enjoy being social. My husband at this time, is studying for his fall semester finals, and that does not mix with my need to talk NON-STOP.

Last night, Josh decided to skip his Wednesday and Thursday classes to study for his Saturday final and I decided to give the two of us being in the apartment and productive a whirl. By noon today, I decided that wasn’t going to fly for the next three days. You see he has been trying to balance school, studying, holidays, and me, resulting in his studying taking the back burner which I am afraid could affect his scores. So when I was working on the couch next to him and kept having the urge to stop his productivity to talk, I decided that I should give him some space.

Since I have to work this weekend at my monthly training event, I decided to come down to stay with my parents early. Especially since my mom needs help decorating the house for our Christmas Eve event, Aidan has a basketball game, and like I said, I have to work on Saturday.

Being back at my parents has left Josh and me revisiting our “dating days.” We text frequently and much like when we were dating, we would call each other prior to falling asleep. It’s kind of hilarious. I’m even in my old room (which has been remodeled to be Nolan’s new room).

Now this isn’t the first time that I have been away from Josh, it’s the second. I went away for 4 days to attend a company event in Dallas, but for some reason this time is super difficult! I miss my husband so stinkin' much!

Josh and I spent 5+ years dating, 4 of which were long distance (1.5 hours or more away). We did the daily texts and nightly chats, the weekly visits, and the longed for school breaks. We have been married for just over 5 months and I am missing Josh more than I can ever remember missing him.

I look at my relationship with Josh and think about how I miss him, and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will love this man forever. He is my other half and I love that I have him to miss.
