Silence



Today was Rob's first day of school. I sent him out the door with a couple snacks, his water bottle, a notebook... I drove him to school, dropped him off, and honestly got sad to see him go. We have spent so much time together the past two weeks, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Knowing I have lost him to his books is sort of depressing in a way. I came home and the house was eerily quiet. Regardless of the electricity charges during the day, I have the TV on just because I can't stand the silence. If I go at this for too long I just might start talking to myself, so please, don't let me get that bad. I will be starting my school routine tomorrow, mainly because there are a bunch of little stuff I have to get done today.

- Renters Insurance verification for the Landlord
- Change our address so my dear sweet Grandma wont have to still receive our mail.
- Clean this home, like really scrub this home.
- Call to verify that our couches really are coming on Friday, because we are already having company this weekend and heaven forbid they have to sit on this blow-up mattress we have here.
- Make delicious Bread, and delicious dinner so when Rob comes home it smells good and then I will feel like a real housewife!
- Find out how to get tickets to see Brooke White on campus this weekend so that Carly, Rob, and I are not looking like lunatics at the gates.

I honestly am looking forward to what is to come. Even though I hate this silence, I love to be productive and I will make sure each day is filled with something meaningful... like my schoolwork, and dinner for Rob, and a clean home for him to come home to. I have also started the job search in hopes that I wont be sitting around here for much longer. There is an elderly woman in Rexburg who needs tending, and I think I could be a good tender. I'll have to give them a call.

Well, today looks like a good day. I am anxious to hear how Rob's classes go. He didn't start until 12:45 today, but he wont get home until after 5pm. So at least we got to sleep in for one last day, and cuddle to, because we love to cuddle. He was excited for school, and I am certainly excited for him. And for me too because I drove home all by myself and didn't slip one bit.



I love that Robert of mine. I cannot wait to see his face. This silence isn't the same without him.

I can't believe that you made him pose on the first day of school. you should of had him hold up his fingers to indicate which grade he is going into like I used to make you do!! you sound like a wonderful wife!
