Coming Home

Ken is coming home today! He's been gone for 8 weeks . . . 8 very LOOONNGG weeks. One of my co-workers told me that that 8 weeks had gone by fast - maybe to her, but not to me. I missed Ken. I missed him A LOT. I am grateful for the week I was able to spend with him, and for being able to talk on the phone every night, but it's been 5 weeks since I've seen him and I can't wait to see him again.

However, the bad part is that he'll be home for less than 24 hours before he has to leave again. This time he'll be heading to Phoenix, for his next two internships. Phoenix isn't so bad - he'll be in the same state, only 2 hours away, and he'll be home every weekend. I think I can handle that - it's not ideal, but it's better than not seeing him at all.

10 hours and counting . . .

Remember our mantra...We can do ANYTHING for 3 (insert 9) months! I'm so glad you get to see him for a 'moment' and I hope the next two rotations go by fast. :)

Yeah! The hardest part is over, right?

Kat: Our mantra is what has helped me get through this and other tough situations.

Brenda: Yes, the hardest part is over - thank goodness.
