Thanks to both of you for your welcomes and kind words!
My DH just got an FO position with Republic. He is currently with Skyway, which announced layoffs in January. We live in Milwaukee...love it, except the weather...(today the temps were below zero).
Yep, I get weepy too before the trips, but I am ok with the short ones (like to have the bed to myself once in awhile)
plus I know he loves it, so that makes it all worth it.
I try to pretend that I can handle the long training, but am really dreading it...it is so funny, I was a single mom before I met him....and now that I am so used to him being around, I am not sure how to do it without him! I guess we just need to take it one day at a time?? At least that is what I am telling myself! And Christina, I will definitely take your advice regarding the routine...and doing some special things together.
Another question....do you all usually try to visit your guys when they are away for training, or do you just leave them to study and stuff on the weekends? I don't want to distract him...but can't imagine not seeing him at all!!
