First night

Well, it's late and I should be sleeping because the baby is sleeping and I really am tired. But I just keep procrastinating because I don't want to go to my empty bed. It's a little known fact that I am cold-blooded, basically I don't produce a lot of body heat, so I usually snuggle up close to my husband at night and mooch off of his abundant body heat. And so you ask, where is your husband tonight? And so I shall answer, he is in California, the first leg of his journey, the final destination being South Korea. Who goes to South Korea? Well, Koreans for one, tourists and more relevantly to this story, military members. So you've guessed it, my husband is a SSgt in the Air Force Reserves, you're a really good guesser!

I do have to say this, I feel kind of like a "baby" in the sense that my husband is only out there for 3 weeks, which to me seems like a long-ass time, but then I think of the spouses of military members who have to be away from their husband or wife for 4 months, or 6 months or a year. And I only have one baby to look after, and these other families have 2 or more. I'm sure they would just roll their eyes at me for being weak, but I can't help it, I am addicted to my husband, there I said it. He is who I want to see every morning when I wake up and all day everyday and right before I go to bed. He is a wonderful man and I am so proud of him. I'm not saying he's not a goof sometimes, but that just makes him even more lovable.

Hahaha I'm reminded of a phase he went through where he was constantly clumsy, and I mean constantly. He could barely walk without falling down. Every time we went to the dog park he would kick the ball for the dogs and fall down somehow or bang into the baby gate every time or trip on something that was far from being in his path. I swear he was the clumsiest man you would have ever seen and it was hilarious! Right now he's over that phase and is more of a suave, debonaire, confident and handsome type. Not that he wasn't handsome when he was tripping and falling all over everything. Oh because he was! It was really sweet, he would blame me for it, he said I distracted him with whatever cute outfit I would be wearing :)

Hmm, it's nice to think about him when he's gone, it makes me feel less anxious. Well, it's time to see how I do this first night, I hope I can sleep alright. I'll keep ya posted cuz I'm sure you're interested (sarcasm). Good night.
