Super Huge Bummer

So, something came up last minute and Justin has to leave Halloween morning.  Not a huge deal. I'll just tag along with the kids and their dad and watch them trick or treat. It's a bummer though...won't see him again until the 7th. And I was really looking forward to it.

So, we'll just make the most of tomorrow night.  ;)

I am really looking forward to Christmas...we're going to his parents' house. We're even bringing the pug. I am really looking forward to it. His mom and I talk all the time and it will be fun to hang out with her! She's the best mother in law ever. I hope it snows...cuddling with him by a fire while it snows sounds amazing.

The kids are in bed now...and I am winding down for the night.  Oh, last night Justin called me while he was driving to wherever his work the next day was and said "You are SO CUTE!"  At first I didn't know what he was talking to...but then he mentioned the podcast he always listens to. I wrote in to Tony Kornheiser's podcast and asked him to pass Justin a message...let him know how much better life is now. And Tony read the email on his show! I even asked him if we wanted to come to our wedding...he said "I might!"  Well, we will mark you down as a maybe, Mr. Tony.  Justin was pleasantly surprised...that played out just as I had hoped! 

The kids' dad did Halloween this year and I must admit he did a great job. Our kids are always well costumed each year. Here are some previous years:

Jaina, the devil, 2008

Mia as Mulan, 2009

This year their dad spent weeks making them custom bounty hunter (Star Wars) costumes. They wore them to Comic-Con yesterday and got a ton of attention. I'll post pictures when I have good ones. They look great. Next year Halloween is all me again...I bet Justin will help me with the costumes. He's good at that. I love working on projects with him.

Time to read more of my book before bed. 

Here's a great text from Justin today...he was talking about how cool it was to get my message from his favorite podcast and I said "I hope you know how much I love you."  He replied, "I think I do...that's why I am actually the happiest I have ever been in my life."

It's a very good and amazing feeling to know you are part of what makes the one you love so happy. I sometimes feel so full of love for him that it really feels like it's spilling out of me.

I'm the happiest I have ever been, too...even when his job takes him from me for a little while. I know he's coming home. I know he's thinking about me.  I know he would rather be with me than anywhere else in the world.  It's a really good feeling.  :)
