FH is AMAZING and I miss him
So my FH has been away for work since mid-October. I visited him once in November for a weekend after not seeing him for 5 weeks but it was such a short trip since I'm a teacher and can't take off of work (not tenured yet). Then I saw him again this past week for a full week because he came home for Christmas... and again it was 5 weeks since the last time I saw him. Now I only have 5 weeks to go before he's home for good!!!! ![]()
But anyway, my point in posting is that I have learned a lot since he's been gone. Its been good for me to be on my own a little bit (I still have my roommate... one of my bridesmaids) because I've been with FH since I was 16. I always thought I was really independent but its different when you have to be and I feel like that has made me stronger and has made me feel like I am more capable of taking care of myself... sounds stupid but its weird to be alone after 8 years of having a constant companion. So even though I hate him being not here, I'm glad I'm at least growing from the experience...
Even more importantly though, is that I have realized how wonderful fh is. I mean, I already knew that and I love him so much already, but I realize it even more now. There are so many little things I take for granted when he is around. This past week I realized how much he does to keep me happy. He helped me fold my laundry when he got home... first thing he did when he got home.... because the laundry mat was closing and I was in a rush to pack for the next day (we were going way to his family's). He brought me a brand new snowboard and a helmet and took me to a bunny slope all day on Sunday because I want to learn to snowboard (even though it probably bored the crap out of him!). One day this week, when he was following me in his car, I pulled in to get gas at a station and before I even turned off the car, he was already there pumping my gas for me. He always did these things for me but after going so long with taking care of everything myself, I was almost floored by how well he treats me because I took it all for granted in the past. I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder! Just had to share since I'm missing him. He left again last night.
