Apart

If you're sick of newlywed-ish-ness...you might want to skip this one.


This week Scott got to go pheasant hunting in South Dakota with some family and had a blast! (Ha ha. Blast. Guns. Get it?) I was excited he got to go, I'm sure it was nice for him to take a break from work and hang with the boys.

Yes, we were apart for three 1/2 days. Ha ha. Seriously though, it is kind of strange the first time you separate. I thought it would be soooo easy for me since we had a long distance relationship for FIVE years. We would sometimes go a month without seeing each other.

Well we have been married 3 months now, and I can't believe how fast I got used to seeing him every day. I did miss him a bit. I did sleep at my parents house once. I did leave a 'welcome home' post it note on the door for him.

Now here's something amazing...(I'm telling on you JerMar). My brother and sis in law have NEVER spent a day apart since getting married 2 1/2 years ago!!! Amazing! I'm curious what your stories are? When was the first time you and your spouse were apart...can anyone beat 2 1/2 years???

No on the 2.5 years - they definitely have us beat. But the first time Noah and I were apart after saying "I do" was when he had the incredible opportunity to go to Israel for 10 days (what?! what about the wifey?!) right after Christmas that year.

Ummm....I think that is was for only 1 night. But is was only a month after we had been married. Greg had to go and do a dental school interview. I was a BIG frady cat and slept over at Raintree with all the old roomates! IT was so fun! But for some reason Shalise wouldn't let me sleep with her like I use too!! HA HA Hope you read this Shalise.

We're apart right now! That's a little funny. I can't beat the 2 1/2 years thing but we aren't apart very often. My only interesting fact is that I have never left HIM...

We CAN beat that! We went 4 years before we had to spend 4 days apart when Dan got the amazing chance to go to Pebble Beach. It was a REALLY HARD 4 days! We haven't been apart again since!!

well Tron and I have not been apart yet, but we have only been married for almost 3 months. But we probably won't be apart until I go to women's conference in the spring. (if we can afford me going to women's conference. ha ha ha) The most I've been away from him was an evening and I couldn't stand it.

Goodness I don't remember the first time Brad was away. Luckily he doesn't have to leave to often and when he does its for short business trips. Long business trips (more then a week) then I go with him. Its pretty fun, but it is always hard being away. I just don't sleep the same.
