The Missing Begins


I've noticed that from my previous trips, it's the first weekend away when I really start missing Beth and RJ. The first day on the trip is pretty bad, too, but I soon get too busy with work to notice. When the weekend rolls around, it's not just a business trip anymore, it's extended time away from my family.

I'll be home this Friday, for RJ's first birthday party, but I'm back out the following Monday for three weeks. I haven't quite made it three weeks yet - I was scheduled for three weeks in December, but I came home early. I don't look forward to missing Valentine's Day.

I do look forward to when Beth and RJ can join me over here. I'll be making an offer on an apartment today. It's a 2-bed, 2-bath that is literally right next to the hotel that I'm working at. Some of the other guys moving to Ireland think it's too close, but then they've committed to longer stays than I have. After commuting almost 50 miles each way for the last 3 years, I think a walk-across-the-parking-lot commute would do me well.

Thank you everybody for reading my the blog. Your comments and feedback are welcomed and enjoyed.

Beth and RJ - I love you and I miss you.

P.S. - Trying to find a picture of Beth is like trying to find a picture a vampire. She just doesn't appear on film. So, you'll have to make-do with a picture of RJ. :D

I have a picture of Beth - but I will be kind - it's from the cruise, she is in a swim suit and has her hair all braided... I think she looks good but something tells I would make the short list of people she would stake thru the heart if those pictures went public.
