It's our new blog, not so "prairie" focused... i.e. it lets us talk about things other than the details of our lives; to talk more about the wider range of topics that fill up our brains.

It's all in how you look at it. :-)

Hey there, friends!
I know it's been a while... I notice by looking at our monthly archive deal that we accidentally skipped the entire month of February and there is only one post in March... Whoops! So much for keeping you all updated via our very useful and consistent blogging! ;-)
Anyway, here's the update for this week from yours truly.
This week has been pretty difficult, because all week long (and still...) Daniel has been away in Minnesota for a funeral. Now, I know that it's important for him to be there (or he wouldn't have gone). I know seeing his family (especially at this time) is good for him. I know that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." But no matter how much sense it makes, it's just not fun to be away from your spouse for more than a day or so. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to making up for lost hugs when he gets home tomorrow! (I'm sure Monday morning will be delightful also, since then I won't want to leave!)
However, cranky grumblings aside, I have also learned some important things this week:

However, cranky grumblings aside, I have also learned some important things this week:
- If it were not for Daniel, I would not go to bed on time very often, and would be much worse slept.
- Daniel does A LOT of things around the house (cleaning, cooking, mail, bills...) and I NEVER would have made it teaching and doing all those things too. Something would have exploded.
- I don't do enough nice things for him. I really don't. And that means I'm not showing my appreciation enough.
- I really, really, really, really, REALLY like him. =)
- Working together works a lot better when you're in the same geographical location.
- I can do a lot of things and make it work... it's just better with a buddy. =)
So, I'm enjoying my newfound sense of "can-do", but I'm also embracing my newfound sense of "can't-do-as-well-without-Daniel". And looking forward to chilling at the airport tomorrow.
Peace,
Rebekah
