Transition
Today was my first full day as a temporarily single mom. My husband just got promoted to a position as a district manager and he is now in Georgia for anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months or longer. It's kinda hard not knowing when he'll be home. We haven't been apart this long since before we got married and he was living in Raleigh and I was in Clemson. On top of that, Philip keeps asking where daddy is and I have to keep telling him that daddy is at work. I know everything will be fine because I'm strong enough to handle everything on my own, but I miss him. I understand that sometimes you have to make sacrifices in life in order to get where you want to be, and I appreciate the fact that he's sacrificing being with us so that he can try to make a better life for us. With that said, the timing SUCKS!!!!! I'm trying to finish writing my two retake entries for National Board, it's the end of the nine weeks, our first vacation alone since our honeymoon had to be cancelled, and I'm just flat out tired. I'm actually glad that I have this blog so I can keep a journal of my thoughts and feelings while he's away. It might make things a lot easier for me because I don't have to keep everything so bottled up. It's weird because I'm tearing up as I type this, and I'm not really sure why. Yes, I miss my husband, but it's not like I'll never get to see him again (Lord willing); yes, I have a lot going on professionally that causes stress; yes, I fear being alone, but I also know that I can handle everything God puts in my path because He put it in my path not as a hurdle or obstacle, but another mountain for me to climb and conquer. I will reach the mountaintop. We will reach the mountaintop. I couldn't have chosen a better man to make that climb with and I'm grateful for that.

The Makings of Daddy's Boy
The more I watch my son Philip grow up, the more I realize how blessed I am to be his mom. Everywhere he goes, he meets people who instantly fall in love with him. He's only two, but he's already starting to read his favorite stories to me. I'm just absolutely amazed by him and the things he does on a daily basis. He's in the terrible twos with me, but he's almost a completely different child around his daddy. I guess it just goes to show that he's his daddy's boy. I'm ok with that though because he's so much like his dad- they click in a way that Philip and I don't. That's not to say that he doesn't love me or that he loves me less than he loves his dad- the love is just different. The video is a tribute to the love that he and his dad share. To my two favorite fellas- Buck and Philip. I love you guys and you make my life complete; that is, until my "Mini Me" comes along. ;-)
