Accountant In Training

Well he's gone. I know we'd been planning on this for quite a while, but it all seemed to happen so fast. Suddenly it was 9:30 this morning and time for him to leave. It was hard. There were tears shed, but only briefly. It was hard driving away knowing that he was about to get on a plane and head across the ocean. Luckily there were good friends at home to give me a hug when I got back from the airport. Michael had also left me a present on the counter. (He's so sneaky.) It was a beautiful James Avery cross. (There were more tears shed when I saw this.)

I have talked to him and he did make it through customs, and he should be in the air on his way to Orlando right now, so I guess he's really leaving (yes, I was still holding out hope). But despite that, it's still a good day. It's a wonderful holiday from work. I'm getting to sit here and listen to it thunder outside. And I noticed today that our pretty weeping willow tree in the back yard that I thought for sure the plumbers had killed when they knocked it over, is blooming. It's still kind of lying on its side, but it has beautiful orange flowers on it. So, I may be missing my husband like crazy right now, but I have flowers outside and thunder in the sky. (I'm doing my best to look on the bright side).
