Today was a great day with my husband. We sent the kids to school for one more day and Ian and I went golfing. Neither of us have been golfing in a while and didn't do so well. Despite that, we really had fun and enjoyed spending the time together. After golfing we went and had lunch and then picked up the kids. We then went home and enjoyed time together before heading to the movies. The on post theater has $1 movie nights on Sunday and Monday. Usually we don't go because it is a school night, but we decided to keep the kids out of school for the last half of R&R to spend extra time with Ian. So, we went to see "Dolphin Tale" last night. It was a cute movie and the kids really enjoyed it. They spent most of the time wrapped around Ian or sitting on his lap. They really have missed him and enjoyed spending time with him.
So, now here I am, sitting in bed typing. Usually I have to turn on my iPod and have some music playing or have the TV going because it is too quiet in here without Ian. Tonight, Ian is asleep next to me, and the sound of his light snore is comforting and keeps the room from being too quiet. I realized this whole time that he has been gone and I needed the noise substitution, that it wasn't the absence of noise that was the problem, it was the fact that I didn't feel safe and secure when he was gone. I thought the noise I would have on was to drown out the little "house noises" that would make me nervous and keep me up (a little part was), but even with him home, I still hear the noises. It is just that when he is home, they don't bother me because I know he is home and will protect me. Not sure if this is really making sense, but I just feel safer with hearing his snoring next to me. I am so blissfully happy at this moment and am trying not to think about next week.
