ahhh, the weekend...

My weekend was so wonderful. Well Friday night through Sunday morning was good. The rest of the day on Sunday, was just plain BLAH! However, we will focus on the good parts of the weekend. E arrived at 9:30pm. A little delayed but it was okay because I got to take a nap and shower before I went to pick him up from the airport. Friday night was all about catching up! Saturday we both were up and dressed by 9:15am!! This is huge because my husband is a sleeper! He could sleep all day if he could. Me, I am the total opposite. I wake up at 7am and go all day long. I seriously fault 10 years of working that inhibits my ability to sleep in.

Our Saturday consisted of running errands, seeing friends and hanging out. Oh, and he taught me how to check my oil and refill the oil in my car should it run low again. We reveled in the fact that we are such in a good place in our lives. We are getting the hang of the marriage thing, he is now only working one job and not going to school, I am in a good place my work, etc. Life is good!

We also took on the job of painting our room. It was the first time we have ever done something like this and it was hiliarous! We ordered pizza, drank some beers and managed to finish the room. I can't post pictures just yet because towards the end of the project we started to run out of paint so were doing everything we could to make the paint last and get the room done. So on Monday, I went and purchased some more paint to touch up the areas that were sparse. Our walls are textured so the paint didn't catch in some parts. So while touching up the paint, I managed to screw everything up so I have to repaint the room.

Sunday, E left early. I came home from the airport and was so down, I just sat on my couch, watched pointless tv and worked on my beginner knitting project. I am very thankful for having Monday off because I pushed myself out of the house, which is what I needed.

Overall, I am slowly getting used to this lifestyle. It's amazing what happens to you when you are single for so long and love to live independently and then you meet someone, fall in love, get married and come to relay on your husband for so much! When you are put into a situation where you have to be independent again, it kinda rattles you. At least it is for me. But I am getting back on my independent feet again. I fall a lot, but I am remembering how good I use to be on my own and trying to rechannel that person. :)

sounds like you had a great weekend and got a lot done before e had to leave again. sorry sunday was a downer...and i know exactly what you mean about being independent, then dependent...then magically independent again and how that can be a bit unsettling. good luck with settling into everything and dont ever let go to the 'life is good' attitude!!!

I'm so glad you were able to spend the weekend together and just hang out. It sounds like you had a great time catching up and I bet the painting was a blast too. I know it was tough having to say goodbye to him again when it was all over though.

You are definitely looking at this situation the right way. Keep your chin up and this little life experiment will be over very soon. :)

I am so glad you got to see E this weekend and had a fun time! And I am very happy to hear you are starting to learn how to adjust better to him being gone so much. Being married to a pilot, that will be invaluable. Good going!

I'm so glad most of your weekend was blissful! I'm sure having Eli back in your arms is the sweetest gift the weekend could give you. I know it must be tough spending so much time alone right now, but you are finding your way and it sounds like you two are in a very good place. Life is good, my Dear! You have such an upbeat, positive outlook on everything - and I admire that. You are contagious, but in a very, very good way! Smooches...

And it will probably be another adjustment when you are back together again full time. Change it good though!!

Glad you had such a good weekend with hubby!!
