Lonely days are here again

I have been constantly thinking about Tim being gone again. It was a great visit, but like all good times, it came and went too quickly. I cannot stop thinking of the next few months. My head is full of planning ideas for our trip home. I am going indepth with all my trip planning, maybe a little too much, but I really need a goal, something to keep my mind busy. I am getting a full itinerary of fun things to do. We will see Mt. Rushmore, The Badlands, and Yellowstone, thus far, anyway. I am sure things will not be as planned. I am looking into hotels that give military discounts, and even the best towns to stay in, and the best gas prices. I will be leaving around or before June 1st. It seems like a lifetime away, but I know it will be here soon. I have Christmas programs to prepare for, Christmas day to look forward to, then I am throwing an old friend a baby shower in January. Then, Connor's birthday, and a few other things. But I am looking toward having my family back together. I miss him so bad already. Having him here was so nice. He is such an awesome daddy. I was packing one day for a little getaway, and I heard him call the girls over, just so he could paint their nails. He loves our kids so much it makes me smile just thinking about it! Now I am trying to stay joyful through the tears. I am very tired of not having our own place, and am thankful for having a place. But it is very hard. Hope just had an accident, I have to go!
