Lonely...

For the first time since Brian and I have been married we're discovering what it's like to be away from each other. My Husband left early Saturday for a week long missions trip down in L.A. I miss him sooooo much! Thankfully, and a bit unexpectedly, I was able to go to church with him on Sunday and he was able to stop by work on Monday for about 15 minutes, but I won't get to see my husband again until Saturday morning, he'll be finishing up at about 2:00am!!
I'm so Thankful for Mark and Terah who have opened their home to me for the week, but it's strange to me how lonely I still feel. Not an hour can go by without my mind turning to him "what is he doing right now?", "Lord, please keep him safe", "I can't wait to see him!!". It proves to me in a new way what an amazing blessing it is that the Lord has allowed the two of us to become one. My prayer will always be that the Lord remains my number one focus, but at the same time my life is no longer complete without Brian Casebolt in it. Thankfully, oh so thankfully he will only be gone for a few more days, but until he comes back, part of me is missing. I love you so much Brian Casebolt!! I pray for you often and I'm counting the hours until you come home! Only 58 hours and 47 minutes to go!!

I don't really know you but I wish I had the opportunity because you were really sweet that one time I spoke to you. I do know your husband from a previous bible study I was in and when I saw him last week at church he was telling me how excited he is to be a father. Definitely one of the most excited fathers to-be I've met!

I'm so sorry you are lonely. This might be a good time to prepare yourself for the many times in the future you will feel this way as you are home all day with the baby. But the pain of loneliness does hurt so I hope he returns soon.

Lets see some belly (covered) pictures!

I can imagine how you must feel! I don't know what I would do if I couldn't see Erik for a week. At least it's for a good cause and not something that happens on an ongoing basis. It's sweet to hear how much you love him :).

Isn't it super special to be married to your best friend?
