Took a Vacation

Isn't It funny how you meet the man of your dreams and suddenly you drop off the face of the Earth? Well, I took a vacation to a wonderful place called love, and although I am still there, I've decided I would send a post card to let everyone know that I am having the time of my life. It's been lonely here and will be for a while yet, as my man has had to leave for training on the other side of the country(or world, as it might as well be). He will be schooling for a couple of months. It's been torture this first week and I can't really imagine it getting any easier. I talk to him daily and we are figuring out how to get along without being with each other every possible minute.
We did actually take a vacation this last week before he had to leave. We left Friday after work and drove down to Los Angeles. We spent Friday night there, Saturday was the Sater dinner (he's Jewish) with his whole family. It was a pretty big to-do. Sunday morning, his mom rented us a Limo to drive us to the airport where we flew up to Oregon to see Mom and Dad. We did Easter on monday, spent every evening in the hot tub, drove around sightseeing, they showed us their other piece of property, celebrated Simon's second birthday, relaxed......, and flew back to L.A. thursday. The kids really had a great time there and I know Mom and Dad did too (Andrew and I did as well, didn't want to leave that out). So, we spent thursday night with his family, Friday A. went to his orientation for Amtrak and we stayed in a hotel that night. We took the kids swimming in the pool and let them ride up and down the glass elevator(or alligator as Tabitha calls it). It was fun. We went out to breakfast the next morning with the family and then went back to their house to say our good-bye's. It was heart wrenching and devastating and I drove away tears running down both cheeks. Eight weeks is going to be so long, and we'd had the most fun together since we started dating the week before he had to go. Can you tell I miss him? I'm still maddly in love with him, I just don't get to share this time with him. I have other news too, but I'm dying my hair and it's just about ready to be rinsed, so I'll have to save the rest for another time.
