"Primping" ain't easy...

I'm not sure why I do it, or why I can't stop, but I'm totally obsessed with looking at myself in the mirror..I mean seriously, am I suddenly expecting that I will change looks from day to day?? And not only is this weird habit bad enough, I can't even do it with a straight face.. Ever since I can remember, I've been told that I make a funny face every time I look into a mirror, or glance into a reflection.. it's actually kinda silly, but I can't seem to shake the habit. You might be asking yourself why in the world would Tim come back after a 6 month vacation from the blog, and start out by writing about a weird habit he possesses, rather than write about his beautiful and loving wife that shares so much about him.... Well, it's kinda simple actually, she will think this is hilarous. And that's why I'm writing it.. To make her laugh, to make her smile, and to make her feel loved. She deserves it. She is my one true blessing that God gives me every single day, and her happiness is my motivator.. I love you baby!

Another Morning without an Arm!

You know this is the second morning I have woken up without that wonderful arm or leg snuggled up next to me and it sucks! I am ready for Tim to come home. Life is not the same without him in this city with me. I believe he called me at 2:30 this morning to tell me he loved me and that he couldn't go to sleep without me! I love him and I am so blessed to have him in my life! I even went back to bed this morning because I was so cold and restless trying to sleep last night. I heard every noise in the house last night and even had to get up and turn off the lava lamps in Dakota's room because I knew that in the rare occasion they would catch fire Tim would hear that before me and he wasn't here. I had to take care of that. There is simply nothing else like our protector being at home with us...(Dakota's words!)

I got a phone call about 8:30 and it was my dad! He was stopping by to see me! I made him coffee and he made my day just to stop by for 15 minutes and show me that I was important. Thank you Daddy.

Well...I guess I will start another day at work. Wonder what is on the Food Network!

Mornings without You

Happy December! Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree is decorated in the living room. Presents are wrapped and it is cold! There is nothing better than a garage with doors that close and a working fireplace! Warming up the house in the morning is a great way to start the day!
Thanksgiving was a great feast of turkey and more turkey! We are so blessed to have the family that we do.
Tim is on his first official business trip learning to take the reigns and become a great managing team leader....something greater...I didn't think that was possible because I already think he is awesome! He is in cold Tennessee this morning and let me just say I don't like sleeping or waking up without him. There is something about waking up and finding that warm leg or arm to throw over me in the wee hours of the morn. Not this morning. I didn't need to make coffee because he is the only one that drinks it in the morning. I almost made a pot just to have the smell in the kitchen. I could have left the coffee in the pot and maybe he could rewarm it when he gets home tomorrow? Nay..... I miss him....miss his first Good Morning to me.....miss the way he dresses for work....miss morning conversation like, "Where are my keys?.....Honey have you seen my wallet?.....Will you make me a turkey sandwich for lunch?" I even miss the wet towel laying on the bed. Can you believe it? It is the little things in life that make comfortability mean the most. Not complacency but the difference to recognize love and belonging to mundane life.......that does not exist in this house! LOVE happens Here BABY!
I miss you Honey and I am praying for a successful trip with a warm arm wrapped around me again in the wee morning of Thursday. I love you!
