Another week survived!

Well another week down folks!  And NO its not getting any easier!  Being on 2nd shift while Jeromey was gone was different because I am so used to spending the mornings with him before I go in.  I think it was Thursday that I was so emotional and on the drive to work a song came on and reminded me of him and I lost it! It wasn't even a sappy song, but it made me think of driving in the van and everytime it came on we would sing it. I try not to be so emotional but its impossible. I think I need to update this more than weekly because I can't really remember a whole lot from last week!  Jeromey was sick.  He spent 2 days in the sick hall (?) and from the sounds of it they want to give him a job there for all the time he spends there, lol. No seriously though, he was not feeling well and was vomiting.  Made me sad and wish he was home so I could take care of him! He's all better now and has been very busy. Friday I was able to leave work early since we were done making, so I met Alex for supper in Coralville.  Then Austin and I headed to Solon for game night at Brittany and Mitch's.  It was a lot of fun!  We played Yahtzee and I won the first game, did HORRIBLE the second game but I had a blast none the less. Saturday my mom and Paul came to town so I met them for lunch before heading to CR for Helen's Scentsy party!  It was a day full of driving.  After Helen's I drove to Wilton to Emma's birthday party.  Jeromey's parents had taken Matthew, Austin and Karlee to her pool party.  Then we drove to Muscatine for cupcakes and ice cream, yum!  I got to spend the evening with my mom, sisters, aunt, and cousins which was fun cause we don't do that often. Sunday I left for Minnesota to attend Scentsy Spring Sprint. I had planned this trip in December before Jeromey had received official orders.  Austin stayed with my dad while I was gone.  Yesterday I got a call from the school that Austin was sick with a low fever.  It was so overwhelming because I was out of town, Jeromey is gone, and I didn't know what to do!  I just wanted to cry.  But I called my dad and he said he could pick Austin up. The trip itself was a MUCH needed get away and came at a perfect time.  I had fun with some great ladies and we had a good time.  I made some new friends and look forward to convention in August!  We came home today and that was quite the trip!  Shortly after leaving Minneapolis we ran into a multiple car accident.  From what we can tell it looks like a snow mobile may have come off someone's trailer causing the accident.  We were glad we had stuck around the hotel to eat breakfast and missed this accident.  I drove home from North Liberty and let me tell you I have never been so glad to be home!  It is truly a blizzard out there and I don't recommend travel for anyone.  I am still hearing from Jeromey daily. He is busy from morning til late at night and that is about all I can say about that.  We are looking forward to the end of the month. We will have some time together before he leaves.  I am not looking forward to saying goodbye again, but wouldn't miss the time to spend with him for anything. It's going to be especially rough because I won't know when we will even be able to talk again.  It could be a month!  What the heck am I going to do without talking to my best friend for a whole month?  We are surviving one day at a time, as that is all we can do. Some days I'm so busy and those are the easiest.  The tough days haven't disappeared, but I just send him a text or leave him a voicemail and that helps.  He calls when he can and we just keep reminding each other that this won't be such a big deal years from now.  So yes I miss my husband, but he's worth it.
