8 Days and Counting...

My husband does a lot of traveling for business. . . so I'm pretty used to him being gone. I think in the past 2 months, he's been gone a total of like 6 weeks. My Mom calls me a "job widow"! ha! I do feel like it sometimes. Fortunately, I'm not one of those wives that cant function without their husband. Granted, I'd rather him be home than not, but I am my own person, so when he's gone, I'm able to survive.

But this trip in particular has gotten me a little anxious. You see, Matt is on his way to CHINA!! Maggie and I took him to the airport yesterday around 5:30pm. Her and I were both in tears saying goodbye. Not to sound morbid, but you never know when the last time you're going to see someone is... so we always make our goodbyes count! So anyway, his plane left at 7:30pm last night, and he's not supposed to land in Hong Kong until 5ish our time today. He did have a layover in Los Angeles last night at 11:15pm, but now he's on the homestretch to Hong Kong. I'm really anxious about it because thats such a long time to be in a plane over the ocean! Oy... I hate thinking about it.

Fortunately for Matt, he's only going to be doing business about 2 days of his 8 days there. So he's excited to be able to sightsee and journey through the area. Matt asked our friends, Martin and Sarah, if they wanted to come along back a few months ago. Of course Sarah said no because she has an 8-month old daughter, and quite frankly, like me, had no desire to go there. But Martin did. Unfortunately, however, he flew a different airline to save money, so he actually just landed in Hong Kong about an hour ago. He'll probably catch up on some sleep while awaiting Matt's arrival. It should be interesting to hear some stories from the two of them. They're crazy when they get together, so I cant even imagine...

Sweetie, if you're reading this, we love and miss you and hope you'll be safe until you return!
