one month down.

it's been one month since i dropped this man off to be taken away on a long white bus to a far off place.
this month has been filled with new friends, full nights of sleep (i have a hard time sleeping with jon in our full bed...call me crazy), lots of work out sessions, a new internship, new recipes and phone calls and emails from my husband. 
it's actually been a lot easier than i expected, i think we both prepared ourselves really well.
jon loves what he is doing. 
he likes not having a toilet.
he likes having supplies get dropped from helicopters because they are in such a remote place. 
he likes sleeping on a cot in a tent with dirt floors.
he likes doing the whole camp out thing with the guys.

i like having a house to myself.
i like doing laundry for one. 
i like having the same income that we used for two people, only being used for one.
and i like being in a position where i HAVE to make friends. 
isn't that funny?

i do miss getting a goodnight kiss and pushing jon off of me in the night then laughing about it in the morning. 
i miss being excited during the day for him to get off work.
i miss sitting next to him in church and seeing how cute he is with our primary kids.
i miss cooking together, cuddling together, and laughing together.
i even miss fight cleaning together.
cleaning by yourself with no one to fight with is SO uneventful.

all in all, its been a good month. i'm excited to keep pushing onward for another 6 months until he gets home. 
i've been fine without him, but i do love life with my best friend.
