3:45 should not even exist Robert's alarm goes off at 3:45 every morning and I am really starting to hate that thing! Not because it wakes me up but because this means its time for him to leave me and our warm comfortable bed. This morning, when it went off, I immediately snuggled close while wrapping my arms around his chest. I like to think he stayed in the bed 10 minutes longer just for my sake, sensing that I was missing him and didn't want him to go...Lately, I've been really craving some "us" time. Yesterday he was let go early (around 4:00) and surprised me at the food court. I was standing in line at Subway taking my break and this just made my entire night! Thirty whole minutes of just him and I, two subs and a coke...Ahhhh...We talked a bit when I told him that I've been wanting to go camping! Ladies I can't tell you how friggin wonderful that sounds right now! You would think after the three years of non stop travel and camping I did as a kid I would never want to see another fire pit or tent pole, but I'm genuinely craving this! The whole nine: two camp chairs staged around a lite campfire with our tent looming in the back drop. Us devouring sticky s'mores while listening to the crackle-pop of the wood burning, smoldering out the sound of crickets and bull frogs as it does...Am I crazy or does this sound good to anyone else? Of course, I don't know how well a campfire would go over in Georgia when its still 80 degrees in the evening...hmmmm...But you get the general idea! It is now almost 8:00 p.m and the hubs still isn't home....Grrrrr...I need to go for another run:p I can't wait to post in one more week on the results of my run/walk approach! Its already looking good but I don't want to spoil the ending and want to build suspense for everyone, so I'll wait and give you all the numbers on speed, distance and how it felt then...HA HA! Have a great evening everyone, I'm off to try and occupy myself until the man walks through that door...I'm sure I resemble a pathetic puppy right now:p
Aww! That was such a nice surprise for him to just show up! I'm glad you guys are getting time together. I hope everything works out and you can go camping!
ReplyDeleteawwwwww. i totally remember those early mornings. mine gets up at about 530 though,pt @ 6...lol he hates mornings so stay put as long as possible. i am on pins and needles, DYING to know about your runs....seriously...you sound in good spirits about it so thats amazing!! i will def be on the lookout for that post!!! and thanks for the comment about anon.....ugh, crazy weirdos!
ReplyDeletehave fun with your puppy-ish self till the love gets home. lol!!

"Crackle pop of the wood burning."
ReplyDeleteOh that sentence was music to my ears...sigh...
3:45... should definitely be illegal! I'm thinking it's even harder for him to get out of that warm comfy bed!
ReplyDeleteMy insane fear of bugs keeps me from camping too much but you painted a pretty tempting picture. Sounds like that camping trip is a MUST for you two right now! Sometimes you just need that one on one time away from everything else ya know?
I'm glad the hubs surprised you when he got off work! So freaking sweet!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear the results of your runs :)
My back was killing me! I held on to them for a very long time! haha! Camping sounds fun! Here in the great state of Alabama we have mosquitoes the size of small birds though. It seems like every time I walk outside I get bit by five or more. You guys probably have the same problem up there, but I can't stand those suckers! Thats really sweet that he suprised you!!
ReplyDeleteAwe that's so sweet! There's nothing better than a little QT with your husband ;)
ReplyDeleteI think camping sounds AWESOME! You should totally go!
Camping does sound fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI get up earlier than my fiance and I HATE having to leave the nice warm bed while he gets to stay! I'd much rather stay in bed with him than go to work!
ReplyDeleteCamping is sooo not for me, but I hope you guys get a chance to go! :)
I love camping! And camping food...smores, hot dogs, mountain pies....yum! Even though camping is one of the cheapest vacations ever there is something priceless about playing rummy by camp fire and having to use a flashlight just to pee :)
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to camping! Keith and I did that the last weekend before he deployed and they are some of our best memories.
ReplyDeleteHe came down on orders for drill sergeant and I thought of my fellow milspouse blogger who's already been through all of it! Do you mind filling me in a little?
What can I expect? How does it work when he's in school and what are the hours like when he is out? (From the sound of this blog, pretty bad, which Keith has warned me about!)
Thanks! :)
Ewwww 3:45 should be illegal!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 3:45 why? Eww... Zak usually wakes up about 4:30-4:45- and I think that's bad! It was good of him to come and see you at work :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I MISS camping, I haven't gone in years!! I heard that there is a place on post to do it at, maybe we should get some of the ladies and their husbands together and do it! :)
Awww :D
ReplyDeleteCamping never gets old! I love it. :D I've convienced dear, sweet, precious Tony to go "camping" for three whole days when he comes for R&R. We'll be staying in a cabin but it's better then nothing. :p
Im craving any type of alone time in a tent or another ocuntry at this point with my hubby haha.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet that he showed up and surprised you :)
