I Love My Husband MORE Than Cupcakes

Hola Baykahs!
It's a brand new year. 2017. So far so good....

But I'm sure I just jinxed it.


AND WITH THAT LAST SENTENCE I DID JINX IT.

I wrote that sentence 24 hours ago...it's now Wednesday. I just completely lost the time to blog yesterday.

It's ok...my life isn't that interesting right now anyway.

WHY?

Because I'm now on the "MY HUSBAND IS MOVING" Countdown.  Exactly four weeks from today my husband and his packed car will be driving away from Las Vegas to Iowa City, Iowa.

I really don't even want to post about this. I want to be happy and carefree here...but it's ALL I can think about. The holidays and the bakery have been great distractions, but for the next four weeks I will rarely be here. No offense, but I love my husband more than cupcakes. So, I'm going to be spending as much time as possible with him...because we all know when he leaves I will be burying myself in buttercream at tsp.

I've been going through waves of emotions. I was resisting taking down the Christmas tree because I KNEW that was the END of the holidays which was the BEGINNING of the Countdown...and just the thought of taking that tree down made me cry. I'm usually the FIRST person I know to have their tree down (usually on Christmas afternoon). But not this year....Richard wanted it up, so I wanted it up. Until last night...

We took the tree down.

So, I'm now in the phase of "WHAT DOES HE NEED IN IOWA?" His birthday his Saturday, and I ordered him a present that he will most DEFINITELY use in one of the coldest winter states. And Richard has been making his list for stuff he needs to buy/take/order for his new residence. LOOK AT US BEING COMPLETELY COOL AND ORGANIZED...Until I see him and then I cry...and then get mad at myself because I'm WASTING our time together crying.

It's a very painful place to be right now. But...the bright side? I have found the literal LOVE of my life. And even though we have to live in separate places I KNOW he is alive and healthy and committed to US. And that is ALL I can ever want.

Forgive me for not being at the bakery if you come for a visit in the next 28 days (your best chance to see me here if you want is between 6am and 3 pm). I need to be with my love. February 1st I'm all yours....


See you next Tuesday.
