Surviving..

Well we survived our first full day without Mick. He has been using his new phone a lot. I gave him my old phone that is easier to text and send pictures. He has sent a lot of pictures and we have texted eachother over 200 times since he left. lol! I love it, most people think Mick is a man of little words but he truly can chat my ear off.. ;)
We spent the day at my parents house. (My sister is out of town until this Thur, I can't wait for her to come home. Nothing like hanging out w/ my sister!!) We painted our toenails, had ice tea and meat/cheese/pickle wraps for lunch.. Then we went and did some "looking" not "shopping" because we didn't buy anything.. Had shish-cabobs for dinner and played some badmitten.. All in all it was a great day w/ my folks.. I love that they live 1 min from me.. It's nice to have the support from my family while Mick is gone.
Michayla has been better w/ Mick being gone. I think it helped that he worked nights and slept for most of the day last summer/fall. It also helps that she can call/text him anytime she wants to. She is also excited that we are going to see him..
Clay left this morning for church camp, he will be gone until Sat afternoon. So it's just me and my Michayla this week. We have plans for a lot of swimming, having a dinner date w/ a friend and spending some quality time together. I love having a daughter to hang out w/..
Mick won't be able to come home until the week of Clay's bday (Aug 19) so we have decided to drive down and see him! The kids are very excited, not neccasarily about the 15 hour drive to get there. We are leaving Mon Aug 1 and coming back Friday the 5.. It's extremely hot down there but Mick's hotel has a huge pool and we are looking forward to hanging out by it every day we are there!! ;)
Mick met other guys that have been sent down from Stockton to work w/ them. He said they all went out to dinner last night and he seems to like them. Mick can get along w/ just about anyone so I am sure he is going to do just fine.

I miss him like crazy and truly there isn't a moment of the day that goes by that I don't think of him. His pillow smells like his cologne and I fall asleep smelling it every night. Everyone says that distance makes the heart grow fonder, well I am pretty fond of him so i don't know how I can be even more "fonder" of him but I probably will.. lol!
