If you look really close you can see him waving out of a window....
I feel really bad for him because he's been working his ass off since March. And yet he still finds time to sit down with me and watch a movie and rub my back and then help me empty the grass clippings out of the lawnmower...before he gets called back into work. The poor man has had an average of 4 hours sleep a night for the last week.
This also brought about the self reflection that our relationship is rock solid. I get frustrated by his job, especially when he chooses his job over me (in very rare instances) but overall, I'm okay with being alone. I have hobbies and house chores and, of course, the dogs. And I can get lost in a book for hours upon end. I can't really say that I'm jealous of his, "other woman". It's really hit me lately because I know at least 3 people who are divorced already. It's so hard to imagine what that feels like, that you just don't care anymore and you just don't love each other the way you used to. For all the crap I put up with in bad habits and job related issues, I never once think to myself, "I'd be better without him." That makes me feel good about us.
I just wish I could see him more....

i hope your divorsed friends aren't reading this - you'll depress them! ha!
glad to see that you're content with life - granted it'll be better when you see each other more, but it's good that you can make the best of the situation! :)
Kendall is fantastic in general though, you're right!
I totally understand. :-) You definately have to have a rock solid relationship to put up with the work schedule he has. It makes the time you have together even more special. Kendall is wonderful and you are so lucky to have him.
Trey and I have been joking about how it's nice that we're both doing this play, otherwise we'd see each other on Sunday and that's about it. :-)
Naples was a little rough for both of us, because during the first year Trey was traveling a lot and my balancing 2 jobs and school got a little nuts. It got to the point where we really did have to be concious about spending time with each other and had to learn to make the best of whatever situation was at hand.
I'm starting to ramble. I just wanted to say that i know how you feel. :-)
