I need a time machine

Well no one said this would be easy but this is kinda hard.  This dating out of town thing isn’t that great.  We are just fine.  He is fine there and I am fine here and on the weekends we are fine together somewhere but WOW there is no time for anything.

Like I said, I didn’t think it would be easy.  I knew this would be the biggest thing we would have to overcome yet.  And we are not unhappy with each other at all.  However, I find my self constantly not wanting to say goodbye on the phone even though I just talked to him eight hours ago and will again in another 12.  I don’t even have anything specific to talk about.  I just miss my best friend.

To add to this the weekends have been wonderful together and every time I go to Jax there is some adventure.  So I miss him even more on Monday when I’m home alone.  Not sitting around home alone board mind you.  I don’t have time.  Everything I used to do on the weekends now gets done during the week.  And until last week I was still teaching and tutoring for the semester.

In Jax we have found fun restaurants to go to, the fighter practices are fun, the church he has picked to attend for now is beautiful inside and the people are very friendly.  We have had fun going to events some weeks.  The weekends are fabulous every time, and busy which is fine with me.

This up coming weekend we are going to Valdosta, GA for a wedding.  Since we are staying with his Squire and family we are going to go to a meridian fighter practice.  That should be fun!!  I get to be a visiting Trimarian Squire.

At the end of this month of course is TMT.  I have been busy getting ready and we will see what may come but I am enjoying the experience much more this time since things are more stable.

In June we have actually declared one weekend a vacation and we are going to visit St. Augustine like tourists.  I have lived in Florida all of my life and I have never been.  We may also decide to go to NASA one weekend this summer (or at some point) and a friend has offered us Circ de Sole tickets that we want to go with them to see.  It should be a lot of fun this summer.

So if I’m running off or running errands AGAIN it’s because I’ve lost that extra time on the weekends.  Even if he is down here I don’t want to lose a moment if I could have done it during the week.  So…I’m off to go get something else done, or cleaned, or picked up or dropped off.  Call…I have to stop to eat dinner at some point or join us for dinner on the weekend.
