Lonely

Well, tonight marks a week since I have see Jessica. I’m really bored, lonely and wish she was home. I have kept myself busy with family dinners and cooking for Liz and Nathan. Last night I made spaghetti since Jessica was out of town and invited Nathan and Liz over for dinner. I hope they liked it and were not just humoring me. Regardless, I only make spaghetti when Jessica is gone since she is not a fan of the red sauces. During and after dinner, Nathan and I watch as his tigers beat the hated Yankees 16-0. Nathan was very excited.

College Football starts this week! I’m pumped. I am ready for Saturdays at Chilli’s with Jessica watching and hoping the Sooners will prevail in all their games! Nonetheless, win or lose; I am still a fan of good football.

I think Faith is more ready for Jessica to come home. She is not liking to sleep by herself on Jessica’s pillow. Jessica is coming home tomorrow night. She is due in around 10:05. I will be there with bells on ready to see her! She is going to have a 4 day weekend and I will have a 3 day weekend! We are looking forward to spending some time together…finally for the first time in 4 weeks!

My weekend

Friday afternoon I packed up and headed out to Missouri for a fun weekend with Jessica’s Grandpa. I had told him a few months ago that I would take him up to St. Louis to go to their travel and transportation museum. I decided to leave around noon on Friday to beat out the OKC to Tulsa traffic and the storms that were moving in.

I arrived in Springfield around 4:30 and was greeted with Grandpa in the garage cleaning it out. After helping him stretch to put things away, it was time to get a bite for dinner. We went to Western Sizzlin, (Sizzlin Steakhouse) as Grandpa calls it. We had a nice evening, just hanging out and talking.

Grandpa and I wake up and leave the house around 7:30 Saturday and begin the drive to St. Louis. We end up getting there around 11:30 and go into the museum. Boy did Grandpa have a good time. We were there about 3 hours and drove back. Had another nice evening at the house.

Woke up this morning and started driving back around 7:30 this morning to have a day at the house and rest before beginning work next work.

Well, it has been a while since I have seen Jessica. The next time I see Jessica, it will have been a week. She has been traveling a lot lately for work. She will be back on Thursday night and is going to have a 4 day weekend next week.

My B-day is in 2 weeks! I will have a busy birthday weekend. Birthday on Friday and Golf tournaments on Saturday and Sunday. I know, I know…but someone’s gotta do it!

Have a good week!
