Leaving On A Jet Plane(or driving a Cadilac) to Memphis

So remember a month or so ago I posted about being home alone while Paul was out of town for the weekend and it was a trial run for when he had to leave for work training??  Well that day has come, he left Monday night to drive to Memphis with a couple of coworkers.  Sad that he left but happy cause his trip isn't going to be as long as originally planned.

Tuesday was the first whole day alone and I did absolutely nothing.  It felt good to relax and not have the house to worry about.  I didn't clean, pick up anything, or wash a single dish.  It was pure bliss(although I did feel a little bad at the end of the day since I hadn't accomplished anything).

Wednesday I went to my mother's around 10am.  We went swimming, shopping and just hung out for a little bit.  After that I went to my father's where I had an awesome dinner that my stepmom cooked.  My sister even came over to see me, or rather to see Kaden but that's all good.  I know she still loves me, I'm just not as cute as Kaden!!  It was nice not to be home, for it made the day go by really fast. 

Today...today my man comes home!  I'm excited to see him as I know he's excited to see me(and I know you read this so if your not then you better act like it...jk).  Luckily the house is pretty clean, and I already did the dishes this morning so all that's left is to shave my legs!!  And get your minds out of the gutter, its 90 degrees out and I want to put on shorts not wear pants(and maybe for him a little but really for me).  Hopefully he wont be too tired when he gets home so I can spend a little "time" with him before he crashes for the night then has to get up and work a 12hr shift tomorrow.

Welcome home babe, I love you!!

Home Alone...Take 1

I've always been an independent person, cherishing my time alone when needed. However someone once told me that would change when I met the right person.  I've had roommates and I've lived with boyfriends but still needed my time to myself...until now!!

I moved in with my boyfriend last August and since then we have not been apart...until last night.  Sure we're apart during the day for long stretches at a time. He's even fallen asleep with one of the kids from time to time but I know he's in the house so I don't feel alone!  He flew to Wisconsin yesterday for 2 days to visit a friend and our home has never felt so quiet. 

I'm using this time as a practice home alone run for when he has to leave town for a week in June and Sept for work.Not really looking forward to those weeks but I know I can handle it. Thanks to technology we can call, text and even facetime now.  So even though I can't see him until tomorrow I get to see him.  I'm still independent but I've learned that you can be independent and still be with someone you love.  You as a couple learn to do things together but with your own twist on it that's just a little different from your partner.  Got to keep things interesting and your partner always on their toes excited about what's to come!!
