He's gone....

So last night was pretty rough. I was nervous/sad that Dustin was leaving so I got 2 hours of sleep but Dustin was luckily able to squeeze in 4 hours. We woke up, got ready, dropped off Dustin's time card at the law school and then headed off to the airport. We then parked at the wrong terminal and had to find Dustin's terminal but everything turned out fine....except for the 3 dollars I had to pay for parking there for less then an hour! Rip off! He made his plane on time which was good because he had less than a half hour layover before needing to get on his next flight!

I eventually made it home, and of course, on the first day Dustin leaves, there is a bug in my shower and on my towel!! To say the least, I was screaming. Gross. But I have to be honest, Dustin is not much better at killing insects than I am :) So for the rest of the day, my friend Danielle was sweet enough to occupy my time so we spent time learning about my new camera, looking at photos, sewing, and just having girl talk. So thanks Danielle for putting up with me for nearly 8 hours!! I feel like this day has been forever long....but good. I am hanging in there. I sure am excited to sleep tonight after I talk to my hubbie on webcam!! Yay technology! 

What I did today....

So, now that Dustin is leaving tomorrow to Kansas for his job, I decided that I am going to try and write daily blogs to keep myself busy and my readers/stalkers bored. First off, Dustin's background check went through successfully, so he is officially starting work on Monday! Yay! 

This morning I woke up very cranky because I heard loud banging after having a migraine all night. So I woke up and took 2 migraine pills and now I am rather shaky....oops. At least my migraine is gone.  :) Then by mid-afternoon I figured it was time to take a shower for the day, so I showered while singing Christmas songs.....dont ask me why. 

All day, and for the last couple days, Dustin has been packing like a mad man and getting everything together. It is kinda weird to not be packing at the last moment. I like that he has been packing for days because it helps me better get used to the idea that he is leaving. I have tried to book the next couple of days for myself just to keep me preoccupied from the fact that he is gone. 

Later that day we decided to go on a date since we wont be together for the next couple of date nights, so we went to Chili's and then went and bought me a camera bag. I love my camera bag!! It was $60 and I nearly got it for half that price. YAY!! And it is so well made and a well trusted brand. 

The rest of the night we watched 30 rock and I tried not to cry too hard that Dustin is leaving. But I do want to thank everyone who has been so supportive! I love you all. 

My first photos with my new camera!!

For those who don't know, Dustin saved up to get me a professional camera for my birthday because I always talk about how I want to start doing photography again. So my camera finally came yesterday morning and I was ecstatic!! Unfortunately, I had work and school yesterday so I had to wait until 7 last night to play with it. So I dragged Dustin along to a park/amphitheater so I could take some pictures while he did his homework. So here are some of the pictures.....dont judge them because I have not held a professional camera since High School and I haven't read the manual to brush up on everything I have forgotten....so I am a little rusty. 

 

Sad day

This past Sunday I was sick and was not able to make it to church, and while I was gone I got released from being the second counselor in the Relief Society Presidency. This was a little bit of a shock because it happened so fast, but I knew it was coming. But today it hit me. Today was a normal day. Work and school were good. But today was the day I had to give my presidency binder up and passed the baton to the next second counselor. Don't get me wrong, I am ecstatic for the new presidency and I think they will be great, but now I just don't know what to do with myself. I loved that calling. It was stressful at times but I loved it. I loved the girls in the presidency with me and I loved the girls in the ward. I just loved it all :)
