Making The Best

Week four already! I can't believe how quickly time goes. This week is the week where Ed and I don't get to see each other very much. On top of that I got a migraine and a cold! YIKES! Regardless, we decided we wanted to take the little time we had together this week and make the best of it. 
We had one full day together and it was WONDERFUL. We had a lazy morning together before running errands together. Its amazing how even the most mundane task, can seem enjoyable when my husband is by my side. We then went to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. Its a little place called Zuppas and I love everything on the menu. Plus, they make some pretty delicious sweets as well. We then came home for awhile before heading out to meet some friends for dinner. It was great to see them and catch up. All in all, I'd say even though we were limited on time, we made the best of it!

All of this is find and good. But, as the day drew to a close it was a reminder of the long weekend to come. It also reminded us of how little time we have spent outside the home since we moved here. Our friends were married at the end of October and it was a fabulous wedding. Until Thursday night, the wedding was the last time we had seen them. The work culture here doesn't allow for much socialization if you also want alone time with your spouse, to keep your house clean, and to live a healthy lifestyle (i.e. skip the fast food and cook dinner, exercise) . There just aren't enough hours in the day. Unless we all give up sleeping....maybe thats it. We just need to find a way to allow us to never rest. Seriously... its hard to fit everything in and I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way. 


This weekend I was able to see a good friend of mine. We hung out TWICE. This is the first time (besides going on a run together once) that we got together in 7 almost 8 months. It was so good to see each other. It was great to talk as well. She totally gets me and always will. We've been friends since we were in the fourth grade. We can go months without even speaking and pick up right where we left off. Our relationship fan-freaking-tastic because we both just want whats best for the other. Even if that means we don't see each other as often as we'd like. 

Tomorrow Ed and I have off together. He will be pretty tired after 3, 12 hour nights. But, I have no doubt we will make the best of it again. Right now thats kind of how life feels to me. Like I am trying to make the best out of a situation I don't really want to be in. It may take some time to figure out what we need to do to change our situation. But, I know we will. Ed and I are on the same page when it comes to happiness. We don't need much, just each other.
