Phew, that was a long 2 weeks! And I am sure it was even longer for Darrin! He was having to work from 6am to 9pm everyday and then wait in line for about an hour or longer to cross the border. He always works on Saturdays, but last week he even worked on Sunday. It was TERRIBLE! Our days seemed so long and it took everything I had to think of errands to run, places to go and things to do. But, its over and I am now more appreciative of the time we do have together. I used to complain about his work schedule before, him not getting home until 6:30ish and working on Saturdays, but now I am looking forward to having him home at 6:30. We can actually have dinner again together!
It made me really think about the military wives who have to go months without seeing or even speaking to their husbands. I don't know how they do it. Not to mention, having to worry about their safety. It would be a really hard situation and I am grateful it isn't us.
This morning when we woke up Reagan noticed Darrin wasn't in the bed. (she is sleeping with us, I will save that for a post on its own) Every morning when she wakes up the first thing she says is, "where Daddy go?" I always say, "he's at work, he will be home later." But today I yelled from the bed "gruuun," (which is what we call each other grun) and he came into the room. Usually we can just give Reagan some milk and she falls right back asleep, but today she was not even trying to go to sleep. She had her eyes on her Daddy the entire time making sure he was not leaving. It was so sweet, you could tell she had really missed her Daddy. After about 30 minutes we decided to just get up and go have breakfast.
We had breakfast at our favorite spot, Mission Beach Cafe. Then we walked the beach for a little bit, it was kinda drizzly so we didn't stay out to long. Then before we came home we stopped at a small little pumpkin patch to let Reagan look around at the pumpkins. The weather was terrible, so I didn't even bother with getting to many pictures. Here are a few of her and her pumpkin and her and Daddy feeding the goats.
