Just One Day

John's schedule changed yet again, and I got a call to pick him up from his friends house (car pool) yesterday morning. I immediately thought,

"oh yeah! Maybe they won't make him come back til monday for their next week long cruise thing...ah no they will probably make him come back saturday."

I get there and he says,

"I have to leave again tomorrow morning at 4am, and won't be back until next wednesday possibly thursday."

But, we made the best of the day we had together, and had family time. He was so happy to see Lucas and he said,

"he looks fatter!...and you look thinner!"

:) Both good news in my book lol.

I am so in love with John and I think we both feel even more for each other since having Lucas. This week will really be difficult, but I know when he returns it will have made our marriage even stronger. He paid me many really good sincere compliments and it has rejuvenated me as a new mom. I wish there was something I could do for him this week that would show my gratitude, other than keeping the house nice, but I know he would just be happy if I didn't spend money!
Anyway, I will probably be posting on here a lot in my spare time to keep me pre-occupied each day that I count down til wednesday. I know John thinks that I need him here simply to take care of Lucas with me and help around the house (which I do deeply appreciate) but it's truthfully more that I miss him as my husband. I think we have the best marriage and it's only been almost 5 years. Here are some pictures we took on our family day yesterday.
By the way, one of my favorite things that John said yesterday, no matter how cliche it sounds,

"If I only had one day left to live, it would have been spent like this with you and Lucas."
