He’s Gone
I’m so incredibly sad. I left Chris at the airport this morning. He should be in the air right now, landing in Vegas in about two and a half hours. I don’t know what I’m going to do without him for the next six weeks. Ugh. It’s such a long time. Chris is my best friend, and we do absolutely everything together. It’s gonna be really hard. I miss him already, just knowing that I couldn’t see him if I wanted to.
I’m going to try to stay busy, and keep myself and the kids occupied. I’ve already made plans to go to Dollywood with Stephanie (my cousin and one of my best friends) on Thursday. She was really thoughtful, knowing we’re on our own now, and called to see if I wanted to. Hopefully, I can do a few things like that while he’s gone, and make the time go by quicker.
I drove home from the airport all by myself. That might not sound like much of an accomplishment, but it was a big deal for me. The interstate makes me really nervous. Mostly merging into traffic. I did fine, though, and everything went smoothly. I feel like such a big girl. 
Maybe I will grow as a person while he’s gone. Does that make any sense? I just mean that maybe I will be able to do some things for myself that I have always depended on someone else to do for me. Now that Chris is gone, I’ll have to do some of the things that he usually does. We’ll see if I can be an independent woman for six weeks. Well, somewhat independent…he’s still paying the bills.
