Warning everyone: this is a sappy post.
Approach at your own risk and roll your eyes as much as you'd like. :)
I'm very much in love with my husband.
When we took this job in California, we knew that we were going to have to spend a lot of time apart from each other while he moved to CA to start working and Drake & I stayed home to get the house ready to sell. We are still only in the beginning of this crazy transition stage, but for the first time in our married life, we had to spend THREE weeks away from each other and it was extremely hard. But, I sure learned a lot from it.
(After picking Daddy up from the airport- we were so excited!)
Sadly, I very very often take my husband for granted and it hit me like a ton of bricks just what he means to me when I wasn't able to see him for so many days.
He is the most important person in my life.
He keeps me calm and at peace (most of the time, ha).
He makes me feel loved (it's so hard to go without a big hubby hug for that long)
He is my number one person to vent to.
He helps so much with Drake.
He makes me laugh daily- I missed that so much.
And...one of the most important things, he is the most amazing Dad.
(Sunshine and a great view at the golf course on Saturday)
When he came home this weekend, I found myself just soaking in every moment together and the ones I loved the most were the moments when I watched him interact with Drake.
They are best buddies.
Drake is so important to him and means the world to him and he shows it.
My heart feels so happy when I watch the two of them together.
(Drake got SUCH a kick out of Daddy getting stuck in the slide)
I know we have many more of these days apart approaching in the coming weeks and months. It won't be fun, but if it continues to teach me the things I've learned in just these last few short weeks, I will take this situation and learn from it! I just hope I can remember what I'm learning.
I'm just so thankful for Rob tonight- for such an amazing husband who is the perfect husband for me. And for the father that he is to Drake. He is perfect for Drake too. I feel so blessed and so overcome with gratitude and happiness for my two boys. I feel like my heart could literally burst out of my chest.
And these are the feelings I want to remember when I'm older. I don't want to remember the stupid arguments or the irrational words said. I just want to remember the good stuff. So I'm writing the good stuff- because the truth is I am one extremely lucky girl.

Those sappy posts are a good thing.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to have your other half away for so long. I'm sure it just felt incredible to be together after that.
Are you going to look at housing this weekend? Hope you have good luck!
Love you Lindsay and loved the sincerity of this post! Sappy or not, it was beautiful and a real tribute to your hubby! (And by the way, we think he and Drake are pretty blessed, too!)
It would be so hard to not have your husband for that long! You are amazing. Cute post.
