A great week

First, after reading over my last post, I think I may have come across sounding like I was being mean to Nate. I love my husband, and I love that he can laugh at himself. We have a good time laughing at all the crazy things that he gets himself into. For instance, at this last campout he wore thermal underwear and a flannel shirt and huge thermal socks. Makes sense to do when camping in mid-November, right? Maybe not. That night the temperature got down maybe into the 50s, and since it was raining pretty much the whole time the humidity was at 100%. He was dying! See, that's where I get my "poor Nate." Even though he was sweating, he did stay mostly dry from the rain and had a good time at the campout.

So, after he was gone last weekend, he had a business trip to take during the week. I didn't think I could take having him gone again for so long, so at the last minute I decided to go with him. I called my wonderful brother and sister-in-law to watch the girls for us, and we had a great time away. No cooking, cleaning, dishes, or laundry for a whole week, and I got three lessons of my history class done during the day while Nate was in his training classes. I also got all of my Christmas shopping done for everyone except a little thing or two for Hannah. When we picked the girls up yesterday, Hannah was pretty clingy. I think she missed us, but Nikki probably could have handled another week away. Thanks so much for watching them, Mike & Sherrie. What a wonderful week, and now we have Thanksgiving coming up this week! Life is good.
