Bittersweet

I am so excited for my trip home to VA! It is mainly for Jamie's bridal shower, but a great opportunity for me to see my family and my friends that I miss so much! It is truly bittersweet though because I am going to miss Mike so bad I am already teary thinking of us being apart so long! We have been inseperable since April when he left the ship and it has been such a blessing to have him home every night and have him to sleep next to. A few times I have wanted to banish him for driving me nuts, but all in all, I really do love having this time with him. While on the ship, he was gone 28 out of 36 months! That is a lot of catching up to do! I don't even want to think of how Ethan is going to miss him, and Kaeli just beams when he looks at her. We will definitely be utilizing the web cam as much as we can!
