So you ask, does absence truly make the heart grow fonder? YES! While Randall was in school, I couldn't wait to see him; the girls couldn't wait to see him. When we were together it was like a party full of beautiful dances :)(with occasional fusses, of course)...but for the most part it was awesome!
HOWEVER, We all learned a different way of life...Randall learned to survive at school, and then enjoy a 'break' on the weekend. The girls and I learned to survive with the help of so many important family members, then to have a 'break' on the weekends. All of us changed so much- we learned to live without each other.
All to say, it's been quite an adjustment to be back together. For all of us. Randall and I are getting to know each other again. (Nothing else should be said except it's quite an adventure). But the hardest things is being down here, raising the girls...I feel like we are missing something. That quote "it takes a village to raise a child" keeps coming to mind. I have two children....how many people are in each of those villages? Except, we don't have them. It's just me and Randall. Maybe that's a compliment to my family and to Randall's family. Thank you for being our village for the past 10 months. I don't know what we are going to do without you!
Life as we know it...
About Me

- After being a 'single mom' for almost 10 months while my husband pursued his career to better our lives- I find myself entering a new phase of my life to make our hopes and dreams possible...to find the companionship and love of my husband again in an environment where we see each other every day not once a week...and to renew the incredible father daughter relationship that exists in my household.
