Yes, Addie has developed a slight stranger danger, but this anxiety is mine. Jon and I will have been apart for eight nights tomorrow night. It's the longest we've ever been apart in our 4 years of marriage and it's pretty much the most awful and annoying thing ever.
But I have found there is truth in the phrase "absence makes the heart grow fonder."
I know the many selfless things that Jon does for me, but being away makes me even more aware of how much I rely on him, for physical help with Addie or daily tasks, but also just as a mental and emotional strength. That man just makes me laugh. I am so grateful that I NEED my husband and that he is so wonderful a husband that I can't stand to be away from him. Even if it is only for eight nights. Love him.
Only 49 hours and 30 minutes till I get to see him again.
By the way, Adalyne and I have managed to have some fun during this separation...a post is to come with our Utah adventures.

blasphemy...i know this husband you speak of and he is a lazy bum...
but I heard the word on the street that he is in love with you and misses you and baby Addie.
Oh man! I'm so sorry! No matter the length of time it is never easy to be away from your husband! Trust me! I feel like I have been spoiled because he hasn't had to leave me for longer then 3 nights for almost three years! I'm going to have a rude awakening when we move and he goes on TDY! Lame sauce!
I also think it is so true about absence makes the heart grow fonder. For both of us it has made our relationship stronger. Although I prefer him not to leave, EVER, I'm grateful to know the Lord leaves tender mercies on the way to remind me of the love we have for each other. Good luck, you get to see him soon! :) Miss you guys!
