Tomorrow marks 3 months that Hal and I have been apart. 3 months since I got on a plane and moved 2,000 miles away by myself.
It's funny the things that come up when you're away from your spouse for a long time. Both of you start to forget things that were like second nature when you were living together. Both of you start to have insecurities come up because some days it literally feels like we will never be back together; and you get into fights over those insecurities. Coming to the realization that you're really just fighting over fear and insecurity feels like a revelation; and you just have to have faith in each other and knowing those insecurities will fade as we are reunited.
We officially have less than 2 weeks until we're permanently back together. Well, not quite permanently as Hal will be spending his summer part time in DC and part time in New Jersey, but 4 hours away is a lot more bearable than 2,000 miles away.
I don't think tuk tuk can wait for these daily pictures that I send to Hal to end. I don't think I've ever seen a more disgruntled cat. She's been giving me the stink eye almost every single night. This first photo is my absolute favorite, she looks like two face kitty. Hopefully both of us can hold out for these next two weeks, because even though that doesn't seem very long, when you're waiting to be reunited with your love, it feels like forever.

So excited for you that this time of separation is finally over! And NJ isn't that far away. TukTuk will be happy not to pose every day...haha.
Just start cleaning (haha) and then you Hal will knock on your door and say "I'm home!" ;)
Getting closer by the day!! I know 3 months must have seemed impossibly long!
