My phone started ringing one evening this week. I'd been on the phone most of the day, texting, talking, etc so I was a lil irritated that here I was hands deep in the messy making of delicious lasagna & my phone was going off AGAIN. I washed off my hands, glanced down at my phone, & immediately the butterflies started. It was HIM! How many women in the world today can say they STILL get butterflies when their husbands call them?
The sound of his voice sets off my emotions like no other. He sounded happy & was laughing, we were making jokes & being playful. The kids got to talk to him & of course that made their day & his too ♥ When we got off the phone I was on cloud 9. I called my daddy to fill him in on the latest news from Iraq. We all miss Dave like crazy :o) & after I had time to finish up the lasagna & pop it in the oven I was an emotional mess. Absolutely no clue why but I think it finally hit me that I miss him terribly. I normally push it down & go on with my life but it gets lonely without him here.
Don't get me wrong, I am surrounded by some of the greatest friends here. I love these girls & am SO happy I found them ♥ But I think we can all agree that there's nothing like having the man we love in our arms, home safe. I forget how much he keeps me together or all the things he does for me. He spoils me & when he's gone it becomes apparent to me exactly how spoiled I am. So needless to say we're countin' down the days until he's home again. & we're feeling blessed to have such a wonderful man to miss :o)
