The task is a bit daunting. Okay, a really big bit daunting. We already miss him so much. Luckily my mom and dad were in town for the first week, so only 11 days to go until we see him again. I guess it will make me realize, even more, how important he is to our family. How do military wives do this?
Any survival tips out there? Looks like I'll be doing a lot of cleaning and blogging. We'll be joining Mike at the end of June for his last 6 weeks, so if you are in Utah and want to get together, we'd love it!!
Before Mike left, we partied hard...just the way he likes it! Miss you love!

That sounds so NOT fun. I'm so attached to Ryan...it would majorly rock my world. Good luck, chica!
I told Bryson the other night that I do not know what to do with him when he is around! We have gotten so used to him being gone, when he is home early (9-10pm) it throws my groove off!
Anyway - to the topic of you staying where you are while he is interning. We did something similar - Bryson came back to NYC for the summer while I stayed in Provo with the kiddos. We decided to be tourists in our own area - I'd never lived in UT with kids during a summer - visited for vacations yes, but living there was different. We got season passes to a few different things and then filled our time with activities out, with friends, exploring new places & I think I hit more carnivals and events that I found via the website than I thought possible. We had a blast! We enjoyed the one weekend we came home - he was gone June through mid-August & we saw him for the 4th of July. It was some long stretches - but we really did have a great time, some very fun and amazing memories & the time went by quickly.
Other thing....be sure to get some time to yourself. You will be tired and drained - and you'll need to recharge. Get a babysitter or swap with a friend at least every other week - if not once a week...which is most ideal! Even for a few hours do something for you - we hear how important it is all the time, but I think you will really notice how vital it will be while Mike is gone.
Oh - and eat out every so often....even though you are in school, we were too but I let us have a little fun every few days by getting something that I did not need to prepare and worry over. And eat on paper plates to save your sanity :)
Good luck with it all! Hope you and your boys create your own wonderful and memories & then add to those when you are back together with Mike.
You poor poor girl! I know how you miss him when he's gone. I couldn't be a single mom, either. I'm too dependant. I follow Kirk everywhere, and then get mad when he goes into the bathroom and closes the door. I guess I'm like my kids in this way. :)
The countdown is on! I hope you can make it! Good luck!
Good Luck! It is so hard being away from dad and hubby! Hopefully we will be in Utah,too. I need to do some shopping with you! :)
Would love to see you while you are here! Let us know what fun things you've got planned and maybe we can tag along to some of them!
Brooke! I am so out of the loop! And for good reason that I don't think I've told you - we moved to Utah! It was kind of a whirlwind so I've dropped off the internet planet a bit. Where will you guys be moving after his internship is over? I have no idea how military wives do it either - living where we did in the DC area we knew quite a few military families and the only thing they ever said was that they just got used to it. At this point that I'm commenting, you're probably almost done. Hang in there!
