Being apart is now very different

I have seen William 3 of the last 16 days. It is hard. Much harder than I expected. I guess I underestimated the effect of seeing him everyday for 3.5 months. We have been married a little over 4 months now. Until William's graduation, we were accustomed to only seeing each other every two weeks. We were trained for long distance. After a year and a half being thousands of miles apart the majority of the time, 2 weeks apart was easy as pie. Now, a few days seems like eternity. I guess it doesn't help that until last Wednesday I felt completely stuck in a job that I didn't want anymore. I felt it was keeping me from having a life with my husband (even if it was providing much needed income). So now that I'm finally free from that responsibility, I am sad that he isn't here to be a part of my new found free time. This new job of his is definitely taking some getting used to. However, today when he transferred money into my checking account I know he took a little pride in knowing that now he is supporting me. Soon we will have two incomes.  It will be exciting to be able to relax a little when it comes to spending and put our money away for the things that are the next things in our lives... house, kids, vacations!

Now to figure out how to pass the time until then....
