I am sure people think I am a “Stage 5 Clinger”, missing my husband so much. I will be the first to admit, IT’S TRUE. Want a little insight into why I am so in love with him? Here are a few examples from this week alone:
When I arrived home from my first day of work, I found this…
A balloon in the freezer. That was tied to ice cream.
I’ve worked late every day this week, and have totally left him to fend for himself. I barely even made it to his championship roller hockey game. That’s how sucky of a wife I have been. Luckily, Team Classic was victorious! Zach got the most goals and most assists in their league. (Apparently stats are super important in Roller Hockey). I wasn’t even there to help him “carbo load” before the big event. He had to make himself a box of that instant macaroni and cheese.
THEN, Thursday morning Zach left for Lake Powell with his family. I obviously couldn’t go because I didn’t think that my new boss would love me leaving on a vacation only three days into the game. I cried the whole drive to work. When I got home, I looked at our chalk board in our kitchen and found this…
And…I cried again. I have been TOTALLY neglecting my sweet husband, and he didn’t forget about me. Not even once. Finally when I was available, he was gone. So I got to work on a list of things to do, or a list of distractions to keep myself busy until he gets home. I am really close to finishing my “Modern Family Tree”, all I need is a few more names. Here comes strike three…notice the only names I don’t know: Zach’s side of the family. Crap. See? Another ‘horrible wife’ moment.
Even though I have been striking out lately, he continued being amazing. Calling me every single day he’s been gone.
And the BEST HUSBAND AWARD goes to:
The love of my life. And that’s what’s up.

That family tree is amazing–I would love to commission one for my parents for Christmas or something. If I can afford you 🙂
Does it mean I don’t love Jordan as much if I don’t cry when he leaves somewhere? I’ve just never been that way. Who knows.

Katie, I am exactly the same way! I get super emotional sometimes. I love the “stage 5 clinger” comment (one of my faves although I probably should not admit that!). Classic 😉 It is probably a lot harder knowing that he is in Lake Powell, the best place on earth! That would definitely be enough to make me cry for sure! I hope I’m not making your feel worse! haha. Congrats to Zach on his big roller hockey victory! Good luck this week!
