I feel like I need a personal download and here is why:
- Anna has been gone for 5 days and I am going CRAZY!! Don’t know if I can make it another 9 days. I have only heard from her twice and need to hear her voice again soon.
- Excited to get Isaac back from camp tomorrow. Heard he had a great time but want to hear it from him.
- Noah and Emma have been awesome. It has been great to have Eva Hyder’s help watching them. She took them to the Clipper’s game on Tuesday and to the pool today.
- Have been patching and painting alot!!!!!!
- Hopefully getting cabinets in the kitchen on Saturday.
- Need to get tile down as soon as possible so we can get back to living normally.
- Would love to have everything done by next Friday so we can surprise Anna on Saturday.
- Got the air-conditioning fixed in her van. She will be excited.
- Man, I miss her!!!!!!!!
- Have two and half weeks until we leave for our Mission Trip to Cleveland.
- Have way too much to do and not enough time to get it all done for the trip. Just found out we are doing a week’s worth of VBS!
- I am excited about Father’s Day but bummed that Anna won’t be here!
- I love her and miss her A LOT!!!
Well that is all for now. Thanks for letting me vent!

How sweet to read your post. I often feel I need a download too…=) I think it’s awesome that you are willing to take care of your family such a long while without that precious woman in your life. You’re making memories – and enjoying that part too I’m sure. I ALWAYS love coming home to surprises! Ya’ll are wonderful! Hang in there…only 8 more days, right? =)
I have been home 2 full days now and I am just now reading this. Wow, I have an AMAZING husband!!! I am so blessed to have you as my life partner Ryan. And our children could not have a more loving and devoted father. Thank you for continuing to let me follow my passion for missions. I know how hard it is for you when I am away, yet you always support me in my decision to go. I love you so much. I am blessed beyond belief to have such a loving and supportive husband. I am living my dream every day with the one I love!!!
AWWW – cut the mush! =) (LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!) Just precious and sweet to know a young couple who have had plenty of life’s ups and downs and you still have found a way to remain hopelessly in love. You are such an inspiration & blessing! MUAH!
