Where will He go Next?

I have been feeling a little guilty lately, and I would like some reassurance that I am not a horrible wife, but Dan has been gone so much that my patience is waring thin. I know the reason why he is gone all the time is for our family to have a wonderful life, I just miss him like crazy!!

We figured that out of the two(almost three) years we have been married Dan has been gone six months! We have managed and Dan has been so incredibly patient with me and my complaints, but this summer and early fall seems to be toughest.

INTERNSHIP- 3 Months

Then Since Then:
FIELD TRIPS
FIELD WORK: CALIFORNIA, UTAH, ARIZONA & COLORADO

EXPOS
JOB INTERVIEWS OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!! Oklahoma, Colorado, Houston, Dallas, Wyoming
SECOND JOB INTERVIEWS OVER AND OVER AGAIN... Ok I do have to brag about this one. So far since school started Dan has had 5 interviews, and has received all 5 second interviews. YA HE'S PRETTY BRILLIANT!!

SEE! all this stuff it for us, for our future, for our children, and here I am complaining at how much he is gone. Yes I guess I am asking for a pity party and how pathetic I am. I don;t want you to think that I am not grateful for all of his hard work, I know how stressful this has been on him, but I'm ready for my husband back! Please tell me I'm not a bad wife.

you are not a bad wife you just miss him, I feel like that when Colby goes away to hunt all the time. When Dan goes to AZ do you get to come visit!? Because I am here and I would love to see you!!

I've always admired the wives of geology students. Hang in there Lesli! I doubt he enjoys being away from you either. :)

Hey Leslie! I blog stalked you from Christys blog. We had a Comm. class Summer of 08. My husband is gone a lot too. In the 2 1/2 years, Mark has been gone, many months and has just left for a 14 month deployment :-) You can do it!
