Missing

I miss Nate... that's all there is to say. Nate has been EXTREMELY fortunate to be part of the Duke Class of 2010 MBA cross-country program. What does this all mean? He's part of an MBA program in which he gets to travel to different countries every six weeks for about 1 1/2 weeks. This past week and all next week he's been in London, England for orientation and his first classes. It's a very special program because only 150 students have been accepted and it's a one-of-a-kind experience for those interested in global business. If you want to know more, his blog is n8phillips.blogspot.com. He is blogging his journey through the next 16 months.

What does this mean for me? I don't get a husband anymore :) He is super busy studying and going to classes. We get an occasional phone call, text, or web cam session. We (meaning Keilah, Linnea, and myself) miss him terribly and can't wait to see him. We're so very, very, very proud of him being accepted into this program and putting in so much effort. I know he's going to do amazing things!

So, while Nate's off in London, me and the girls flew out to Utah. We've been here for a little over a week and have just a little bit less than a week left here. I basically was being a wimp and didn't want to stay in Texas all by myself for 2+ weeks. We've loved our time out here with family and friends. It's been great for Keilah to see everyone (she's grown so much since we were last here in January). and for Linnea to meet a lot of her family she hadn't previously met. It's been relaxing for me to have Grandma (Phillips) and Mormor (my mother) as well as aunties and uncles take care of my girls so I can do simple things I haven't been able to do (like shower, blow-dry my hair, etc.). We are so lucky to have wonderful family who've let us crash and invade their lives!
