Me trying to explain why I can't seem to blog right now
I am sitting here in Ryan’s living room. All is quiet except for the faint hum of our laptops, Death Cab for Cutie and the faint wail of sirens. I wanted to blog I guess. I even selected topics and yet here I sit. On Saturday my wife is coming down for a week. I haven’t seen her in two months. I know for many marriages this is nothing. I mean to someone like Jenn reading this any complaints on my end would be laughable. It’s all about perspective I guess. I have always hated those married people who make a big scene if they haven’t seen their other half for a week. I keep as much as I can to myself about the distance issues. Mostly I can deal with it fine, it’s a choice really, and life is full of situations where doing the best thing requires sacrifice and we can adapt to anything. Dealing with life quietly, excepting hardship with dignity, these are things I have always thought honorable. This week is atypically hard though, mostly because she will be here soon. It’s the same as the way a child can accept that Christmas is a long way off all year with out a complaint but that last week before the day seems to encompass more hours than the rest of the year.

i see no shame in missing someone who obviously means so much to you. and what kind of friends would we be if we didn't at least try to sympathize? that said, thanks for not being a whiny lame-o about the whole thing.
You know you truly love someone when it does hurt being away from them for periods of time. Ironically after all the military junk, its now harder for jas and i to be apart, not easier. I bet when its all over, you and Elaine will be even closer than ever. ..Or did you want me to say "your not in a warzone, no one is shooting at you, get over it?" j/k
