It shows in your words and the pictures you took. I'm glad you had the special time together.<br /><br />I like the way you find "projects" to keep busy when Jake is gone instead of feeling sorry for yourself. It IS a blessing to have a job these days, and you make it easier for him by being flexible with your plans when he can be home unexpectedly.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-67438187719767956452009-10-06T06:11:06.692-05:002009-10-06T06:11:06.692-05:00Hi Maria,

It still doesn't feel right and we both hate it but it's a living. He always wanted to take one of the dogs with but his company charges a five hundred dollar deposit to take a pet! I personally don't want to go, I hear all about it and it's not fun!<br /> Love DiDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-21660245183605478962009-10-05T18:10:37.256-05:002009-10-05T18:10:37.256-05:00Now I really enjoyed reading this entry.

The funny thing is, when I mentioned that he will have to have a truck that has a sleeper in it, he said, Yeah, a big one for me and the dogs. I was referring to one for me and him so I could go with him. I guess we know now, who takes presidence. Anyway, I don't know how you do it, being away from Jake for so long. I'm glad you were able to have this unexpected time together.
