Well, Alli asked how life without Ryan was going. Well, its hard and everyday is easier. I'm glad its only for two months. And I know that military people are away from their spouses way longer so I'm not complaining just explaining.
I think that there are hard things for me that make it easier for Ryan to be in Cali.
For example, my toothbrush looks lonely in the toothbrush holder now so that reminds me that he's gone.
I have to sleep in a bed that we usually share. It's big and lonely...
Ryan is making his own way, the lack of me isn't staring him in the face everytime he turns around.
However, I have family and friends around. I can keep busy and have lots of people to chat with and keep my mind off things.
Ryan has my sister's family around but the kids go to bed an hour after he gets home from work. So, he doesn't get a lot of interaction from people that he knows real well.
He also is married without a spouse so who is he supposed hang out with or make friends with? Married people makes it awkward becuase you can feel like a third wheel.
Single people want to date and hang out where they can hook up with someone. But you can't become real good friends in two months time.
So, if you are in Utah give me a call if you are doing anything I can join you for! And if you have sometime send Ryan and email or give him a call. He aching for people he knows that he can talk to.

It is hard being with out your spouse. Just think how much harder it would be if you had kids too! We should do a girls night sometime this next month! Any particular night better for you? I think we ladies could use one!
Kimi I love hanging out with you! It is so much fun. Its our chance to become close friends not just in-laws. Not that I have ever thought of you as just an in-law, but its different. I'm glad we have this chance. But I konw what you mean about the toothbrush holder. I even thought it looked weird. I'm sorry you are without your man! I miss him too.
