365 Countdown

The first 30 days Randy was gone went by pretty slowly and involved a few tears. The second 30 have gone a bit quicker. Maybe because at the end of these 30 Randy is coming to visit. We are all VERY excited that he is coming. Or maybe because I’m back at work now and between work and the kids living a full busy day. 
In honor of Randy’s trip back and being a quarter done with the longest year of my life I’m going to list some of the things I miss. Of course I miss just having him around all the time and his presence the most and a hundred more things, but here are just the first 10 that comes to my mind. 
  1. Having him turn off the lights and lock the door every night before bed, every night when I have to do this i think about how awesome it is that he usually does this. 
  2. Having someone else to wake up in the middle of the night with the kids…oh boy do i miss this! Meanwhile Miral continues to be my best sleeper, usually up once a night even this week with her first tooth breaking through! 
  3. His Sunday night dinners, boy i miss this one alot.
  4. How much he makes us all laugh.
  5. His breakfast fry ups.
  6. Going up to visit him at his office at work (my office was one floor down).
  7. Going for runs with him and having him convince me i’ll feel better even if i’m super tired, which is of course true.
  8. Getting mani and pedis with him while we have wine and watch a movie, yup this really happens. One of the many perks of the Philippines.
  9. How he can always find a good show or movie to watch.
  10. How Randy always turns the TV off at 9:30 and gets me to bed at a reasonable hour. 
And here is a bonus one- 

Sharing a nice glass of red wine with him and talking about anything, i miss talking to him probably the most. Sure we text and have phone calls, but i have so man things to tell him and just talk to him about and we never have time.
