My First Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Things J Will Miss/Has Missed While Out of Town My 29th birthday Halloween Shopping for our own Christmas Tree while in our very first house Shopping for Christmas decorations for our house Thanksgiving Putting up the new Christmas tree and decorations (I’m sure he’s happy about this) Shopping for Christmas presents Christmas Eve Christmas Day New Year’s Eve New Year's Day The beautiful cold weather in St. Louis during the holidays His mom’s birthday Links to other Thursday Thirteens! (leave a comment and I’ll add you here!) Barb Tug Mom's Secret Life Cindy Miranda Ruth K T Cat You're Next! I completely give up on trying to get my Linkies - it won't work for anything, so I officially give up. I'll just do it manually.

In case you haven't heard. J, my boyfriend of 7 years, is out of town for work. He's a Stagehand and he's working on a show tour in Texas. He left on October 29 and won't return until January 2 or 3 (somewhere in there). I miss him like crazy, but I am not mad at him or his job for being gone. He loves his job and enjoys the work. And, to be honest, I don't mind the alone time so far. It will be hard to be away from him for the actual holidays, but truth be told, he was gone for work last year during the holidays and I got through it just fine. Luckily, I have family that I spend the holidays with and that's just fine with me. Now, bring on the Thanksgiving dinner!
