Lyle's Home!!!!!

So this last week Lyle went to Dallas, Texas with the school on a Career Expedition. They go to major cities and meet with major companies in hopes of getting good contacts for internships and future careers. Lyle wanted to go to Dallas because JCPenny's corporate offices are close to Dallas. He was able to go and meet with the recruiters down there and hopefully he will be able to secure an internship with them. While this was all fine and dandy, I missed him really badly while he was gone. Lyle and I haven't been apart since we started dating nearly 2 years ago. We have seen each other every single day (even if it is only for 10 minutes). This last week was the first time we had ever gone without seeing each other. I always thought I was really tough and that something like my husband being gone for a day or two wouldn't be that bad, however, it was much tougher than I thought. I have a new found appreciation for those wives who have to live for a year or more at a time without while their spouses are deployed.

Anyways, he is home now, and I am so glad. Having him gone made me realize more how much I rely on him everyday. Without Lyle I would probably go crazy. He frequently calms me down when I am stressed out and he can make me laugh even when I feel like crying. We know each other so well that we can complete each other's sentences. We don't normally cause other people think its weird. But it is nice to have someone who understands me so well. I don't know how I got lucky enough to find someone who is so perfect for me. I think we are so well matched for each other its almost unfair. I know so many other couples that have completely different personalities and argue with each other all the time. We argue, but never that seriously. By the time we go to bed at night we usually figure things out and go to bed happy with each other. After all, we are "playing for the same team" and shouldn't be working against each other.

Again, I feel like I ramble a lot. :) So, the main point of this is to just say that I am so happy that my wonderful husband is home.
