250 Days!

It has been an exhausting two days. I knew that it would be busy at work...you know kind of a pay back for having Monday off! But geezzz...I didn't know that I would feel like an over-worked mule. I think my body knows I just turned another year older! I feel bad for the other girls...they've still got to do it tomorrow...although with the way the boys are acting tonight...I think I would trade one of them!!! The boys have been WILD tonight. Running and screaming and fighting. It's colder tonight...in the 50s...and it's sprinkling from time to time so they have been stuck inside all day. Maybe it's because I'm tired but my nerves just can't handle anymore. I just put them both in bed. I need a little bit of me time and then I'm going off to bed myself.

Last night both the boys and I were in bed by 8:30. Notice I say "in bed" and not "asleep!" Lane went right to sleep but Logan fought. I read for a little while before getting a phone call from Aaron. He was telling me to get on the webcam. Since Logan was still up (almost and hour and half after put him in bed) I told him to come downstairs with me to chat with Daddy. Logan was excited and so was Aaron. We had a nice chat and Logan got to see his Daddy. That always makes him feel better...and it makes Mommy feel better too!!!! Aaron is doing good. Counting down the days until he leaves to head home. We are too. I just can't wait to have him here. It has been 250 days since I last saw him. My friend shared this quote with me today:

"The test of love is not when we are together. It comes when we are not together and despite the distance, love is still there."

I just felt that it is so true. Everytime Aaron has to be away it always makes me realize just how much I love him and want him in my life. I think sometimes we all take our loved ones for granted but when they are away you realize just how much they mean to you. I told Aaron the other day that he was stuck with me forever...thankfully he said that he was just fine with that. I seriously love that man with all my heart. God blessed me so much the day he brought him into my life and each day with him just gets better and better.

"My heart is jumping, my mind is wandering, and all I can think of is, 'When are you coming home?'"

Here a few more quotes that I just love. Hope you enjoy!

"What I have with him is worth it. It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing him, and the pain I feel from not having him close. It is worth it because he is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only him. No matter how painful distance can be, not having him in my life would be worse."

"Missing someone is your heart's way of reminding you that you love them."

"Miles mean nothing when you are in love, and love means everything when your miles apart."

"Love which has been tested by distance and obstacles, and has passed, is true love."

"Absence does for love what the wind does for a flame: it extinguishes the weak, and feeds the strong."

"When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, and no one can ever tear them apart."

"The goodbyes are what makes the hellos so wonderful."
