Best Part of my Day

I really couldn't have asked for a better day.  I woke up early enough to run to the store and be back in time to possibly catch Mike on the computer.  I had to pick of a few odds and ends for my upcoming trip to Mexico.  Who doesn't love a good trip to Target?  

Many of my mornings (when I am not working) I can be found sitting on the couch with my computer in my lap...just watching and waiting to see if Mike will come online before he goes to bed.  Although I may have spent a little time watching and waiting today, I was pretty sure that Mike had already gone to bed when I decided to take Buckley on a walk.  Sad that I probably wouldn't be able to chat with Mike before I left for Mexico, a nice walk with the dog would help clear my mind (endorphins and coffee at the end of the walk wouldn't hurt either).

To my surprise, I got an email from Mike as I was unlocking the door.  Even though it was after midnight, Mike was still up.  Mike and I were able to Facetime.  I can't tell you how soothing it is to my soul to be able to hear his voice and see his sleepy little eyes on the screen.  Mike has been working so hard over the last couple months.  Honestly, he works an average of 14 hours a day.  When he does get back to his room, I can't blame him for falling right to sleep.  I vow to be less selfish in my requests to talk/chat/email with Mike. I know that he is putting in 100% to his job and country, and I cannot ask for anything more.  I love you Bubba...counting down the days till we can be together again.  And Buckley misses you too ;)

You may have lost your spot in the bed though!
