Missing you.
This is a post for Andrew.
I don't know if you have access to the internet or not, but I want you to know that I'm thinking of you. Since you left on Saturday things just haven't been the same. I know I still called to say goodnight just before bed, but it wasn't the same knowing that you were more than 15 miles away from me. It has been nice staying at your house all alone and listening to the quiet, but it's still so strange without you. Church on Sunday was odd. I don't like sitting alone. Even Sophie wasn't enough to keep me company. Her arm around me isn't the same. I missed that.
I drove to Shreveport last night to see mom, dad, granny, and pawpaw. That is the first time in a very long time that I drove more than 30 miles without you. I didn't particularly care for it. I did get to try on my wedding dress though, and even though you couldn't have been a part of that, it would have been nice to have you in the next room to rub in the fact that you can't see it.
It's just no fun around here without you. I don't get to look foward to you driving up to pick me up from work tomorrow for lunch. I don't get to call you to wake you up and remind you to be here on time. I don't get to giggle a little when you walk in the office door with your hair a little on the messy side. Nope, I don't even get to see you. I miss you.
I don't like being away from you. It's not that I can't handle it, I just don't like it. It was rather nice to watch a girly-movie last night. But it would have been more enjoyable with you there pretending like you don't like it. You make me smile.
I miss you Andrew. I can't wait to see you on Wednesday morning when you pick me up from the Chicago airport. I hope your face lights up as much as mine will. And I hope your family likes me as much as mine likes you.
