These next 30 days were great, mostly because Randy was home for a chunk of them. It was amazing having him back. We loved every minute of it! We’ve been waiting with what seems like baited breathe for his first visit and we all collectively exhaled when we saw him at the airport. Ok maybe that was just me. Having Randy back was like having the world go from black and white to technicolor. I forgot how fun it could be! We had the best time with Randy. We spent time alone the first week when the boys were still in school and time with just Miral. We spent time with all the kids at the pool, going for walks, going out to eat. We spent four really fun days in Boracay with 9 adults and 17 kids.
When it came time for Randy to leave I was worried it would be hard, but spending all that great time with Randy made me less sad this time when he left. While it stinks to not get to spend time with him all the time, at least the trip back was a a big success. I worry about so many things with him away, but one of those things are how we will all adjust when he’s home. Seeing how easy this trip was made me realize we won’t need to adjust. The kids were happy, I was happy, Randy was happy and before we know it he’ll be back for good and we’ll all be happy for good!
More on the visit coming soon! I was so behind after home leave I’m just getting close to caught up…
