2 more days to Cali!

Well, Drew is currently on the plane, homeward bound to Bakersfield, CA. Unfortunately, when we found out that he would be getting a four day weekend this week and could go home, we couldn't change my tickets from Saturday to Thursday. So, now, I'm at home all alone, while my hubby flies to meet my family in Los Angeles. Its pretty bittersweet. I am so thrilled that he gets to go home for the weekend, but would have loved to spend more time with him there. I'll get there Saturday afternoon, and he will leave Monday. 

Then there will be another week while I'm in Cali and he is back here in Georgia... That will be the ultimate bittersweet time. 

I hate being away from him for a day... It only makes me think more about his future deployment. How will I ever survive a year without my other half?

I bought Eric Church's new album last week and have been listening to it nonstop. Eric is seriously the most overlooked country artist out there. He is unbelievable, but I never really hear much about him. Anyway, Drew heard this song and believes it was written about me. He loves it, and says he plays it over and over again because it always reminds him of me. 

No if, and's, but's or maybe's

So you wanna be her baby

I can read your face like a book

Yeah it looks easy to love her but believe me brother

It's harder than it looks

She's as pretty as a picture

Every bit as funny as she is smart

Got a smile that'll hold you together

And a touch that'll tear you apart

When she's yours she brings the sunshine

When she's gone the world goes dark

Yeah she's heaven on the eyes

But boy she's hell on the heart

Yeah she's good when she's bad

She's cute when she's mad

And she does all the wrong things right

Yeah boy it's a fact when they're made like that

You ain't ever gonna sleep at night

She's as pretty as a picture

Every bit as funny as she is smart

Got a smile that'll hold you together

And a touch that'll tear you apart

When she's yours she brings the sunshine

When she's gone the world goes dark

Yeah she's heaven on the eyes

But boy she's hell on the heart

Once you feel her touch and you've felt that rush

It's gonna mess up your head

But here's the kicker son

Your old ticker's gonna beat you half to death

She's as pretty as a picture

Every bit as funny as she is smart

Got a smile that'll hold you together

And a touch that'll tear you apart

When she's yours she brings the sunshine

When she's gone the world goes dark

Yeah she's heaven on the eyes

But boy she's hell on the heart

Yeah she's hell on the heart

I have to admit, its pretty dang true. =)
