Sorry folks for the time lapse between blogs. I have been displaced of late and it's becoming harder and harder to find time for things. My wife and kids have been in Twin Falls and Boise for over a week now. I still have two to go. It's funny, at first you are excited for some "me time" and make all these plans on how you're going to spend all of your free time. But as a few days pass, you begin to realize why you got married in the first place.
I miss the pace of our house. ACTION all the time. Non-stop from 8am-8pm. Now, without the kids, I find the house eerily quiet and very uncomfortable. It just goes to show that the family makes the home, and not the other way around. I miss my wife. I miss my kids.
Without sounding too depressed, there is a bright side to all of this. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and it makes me realize how much more I need to cherish the "everyday" with my family. You miss it when it's not there and it's in the simplicity and joy that happens daily around here that I find myself comfortable and at peace.
I'll be blogging sooner than later. And don't worry folks, I'm not depressed. I look at this loneliness as a good thing. I have time to catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while and it makes me thankful to God for the time I have with my family. These are all VERY good things. I wish all of you well and enjoy my family as they're in Boise.
