I'll believe it, when I see it!

Chuck has been calling me a couple of times a day, now...trying to get home. We found out today that he's going to run out of hours before he gets home, tomorrow (yes, tomorrow....NOT today!). So, he MIGHT make it to Inver Grove Heights under his time limit, but then I'll have to go down and pick him up because he won't be allowed to move forward for another 10 hours! 90 miles each way to that terminal! (yuck) But, we do what we have to do!! :) I miss him tons. He really gets worked up during the days when his schedules are coming in....gotta let ya' go....gotta plan this - even though I don't have to leave for 12 hours! Undies in a bunch, much?? :) It's okay, I get it. He's starting to talk about he and his truck in the "we" tense....he said it this morning... "we should be there by Friday afternoon"...who's we, you got a turd in your pocket? Well, I'm glad things are going good - it's going to be a short stay this time - that's kind of a bummer. We're getting used to is, is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know if I want to get comfortable with my husband gone more than he's home. This morning I was thinking about the holidays. It's okay to only have one day to celebrate the holidays, I've never had the day after Thanksgiving off, or anything like that - I always used to work on those days, so I never had extended celebrations until I worked in the school system, but this is going to give a new meaning to all of that. The other thing I was thinking about was change. When we refer to changes we refer to them as either a "change to the good" or a "change to the bad"....to me, I'm finding out.....a change is a change. In the 5 short years Chuck and I have been married we have had 3 addresses, together (I've had 4 because of the house I sold when I met him). We've had 5 different vehicles (not including the motorcycle). He's had.....7 different jobs, I think, I've had 4....we both have gone back to school - I was in school when I met him, I stopped because I didn't think I needed it....then went back for medical transcription, until I realized nobody would hire me with less than 2 years experience, he went to truck driving school and now I'm in graduate school for special education....last year we added a member to our family...THAT's a big change, I didn't foresee, but couldn't imagine any other way....the changes just keep coming and coming. Life doesn't stop for us, just because things change. So, to me, I've learned....there's no such thing as a good change or a bad change...they're all an opportunity for your life to be different than it was before. The good thing about both Chuck and I ....we like change. We get bored with the same-old thing all the time. We have had a lot of fun adventures. I'm looking forward to riding with him when I can, so I can see what he's seeing. Plus, I wouldn't miss him so much!! :) Well, we'll get to talk to him, tomorrow face to face...*yeay*!! He wore a hole in the road between West Virginia and Maryland this week...back and forth...good he can get away from it a little bit! Well, goodnight everyone!
