Nobody likes to say goodbye. So what if we just avoid it all together? What if instead of hugs and kisses and tears and then more hugs, we just gave a quick peck on the cheek and yelled, “Go… I love you!” Well, that’s kind of how I sent Jake back to work this morning.
Due to technical alarm clock difficulties, we overslept – by almost two hours! Instead of checking into the airport at 5:30, we awoke at 5:47 when Teddi called from the airport to find out where we were. I pulled into the airport at 6:02, an insane 15 speed-infused minutes later. Within another 15 minutes Jacob was boarding the plane amidst applause from the other passengers.
When I came back home I found globs of shaving cream splattered all over the bathroom countertop, the house in disarray- evidence of our speedy morning. It’s very quiet here now, empty. We had a fabulous fun-filled two weeks, that I will probably post about later. Now, I’m going to grab a nap and a shower and hope that Jake gets one too.
Since I didn’t get a chance to say good bye this is to my soldier: I love you. Be safe. I am already counting down the days until you come home again. You are the light of my life. . . xxoo

And I bet you were right on time on Monday. Go figure. At least you got to spend an extra day together.
What a fun time to spend together! That stinks to have to say goodbye so soon.
