the leaves are changing

 

The leaves are starting to change color here. It’s nice and at the same time depressing because Chris is going to miss it all. The trees will be bare by the time he comes home. I can’t believe that in a month he will have been gone 100 days. It’s even stranger to think that I haven’t seen him in so long. It’s like I am living a different life. Sometimes I forget what it was even like to have my husband here… and it makes me sad when I find myself feeling that way.

I put up more decorations for Samhain. I wish that we had more but I don’t see the point in spending money right now to decorate this apartment, next year I will pick up more for when/if we have a house. It makes me smile to see the decorations up though.

It’s about to rain. It’s dark outside at 2pm, there is thunder in the distance. Oh… here comes the rain now.

I wonder how Chris is feeling throughout this deployment? I know that I miss him like crazy… I wonder if he is missing me like crazy?

Nicholai is up from his nap already… wandering around his crib. Last night I had him in bed asleep before 10pm. He woke up a little before 1am but I laid him back down and rubbed his back and he went back to sleep until 6:30am, I went back in and laid him back down again, thinking that there was no way he was going to go back to sleep but he lay down and went back to sleep for 2 more hours. I wonder if we can start doing that every night… it would be nice. I can’t believe how great he did last night.

He is starting to get fussy… I guess I will have to end this here.
