joined at the hip



As of last night I am starting to seriously miss my husband! I am really trying to have a great attitude along with the I-can- do-it mentality. I don't want him to feel guilty for leaving, and think this is not something I support. Last night I started thinking about how much my life is connected to Jason's. My Mom said to me while talking on the phone "honey you are joined at the hip and really in tune with each other. You always have been that way." Jason's mom has said in the past we become "kind of weird" and "insecure" when we are apart. Maybe last night and this morning I am feeling myself morph into that bizzarro self. All I know is that when one becomes this deep and entwined with another the idea of not having them seems like a loss of oneself.
Over the last couple of weekends while Jason and I worked in the church building separately people would come up to me asking if I knew where Jason was, or wanted me to solve a problem in his department. Several people got a little upset when I would say, "I don't know. He is in the building somewhere." I was thinking, "Go find him yourself… Do you think I am his keeper?" When I said something to Jason he said the same thing was happening to him (only asking for me of course).
Today I think that all of those people sense what my Mom said to be true. We are joined at the hip. Funny, my left hip has hurt for the last few days. Coincidence? Hmm!!
Anyway, enough of the boo-hooing. Jason if you are viewing cyber-space from Brazil please know how much I love you! I hope you are having the time of your life, and although the girls and I miss you terribly, we are doing great.

Man, are you two ever CUTE! And they say J and I are cheesy...geez!
I have to say your wedding picture is so great and you can tell that Savannah is going to be just as beautiful as her mommy! (Don't roll your eyes!) She really looks like you in that picture!
I'm sorry you're having a hard time...I've been thinking about you today. I have lots to tell you, so I'll call you Monday.
Love Ya,
Jen

Hi Jenell!
Looks like I'm the one lagging behind in the bloggers department. Just got mine up a few weeks ago. I posted Savannah's doll and letter. It's in Feb.'s archive now. I'm into looming these days. Come and visit and leave a comment or two. I love the wedding pics.
If I posted mine and Lenny's, you'd all be in for a shock! I'll have to do it one of these days when I get a scanner. Check out my blogspot:

I'd love to be a part of your links section.
Ciao,
Linda P.

Jenell I totally understand how you feel - I am lost without Shawn. We really were created for the two to become one and thankfully we were both sucessful at this ; )

I wish that I come over with a Papa Murphy's veggie pizza and cheer you up for a couple of hours. Which reminds me - are you eating while Jason is away???? See, this is why girlfriends should never move away from each other.

(((Hugs)))

You guys are too cute! I can relate to missing your husband. Todd and I have been together almost 19 years! I don't sleep when he's gone either, and just making any decisions without him around is very tough. Hang in there...he'll be home safe in your arms very soon.
Love ya,
Marlene

You two have an amazing relationship! I have been envious of it many times, but am now feeling that way about Owen as well. He truly is a part of me now. It is such a wonderful feeling while at the same time being terrifying!

You know I love you.

Hi Jenell!

I'm following links between blogs as I discover this new part of the Internet world - and look, we have the same template!

The wedding picture of you and Jason is quite amazing - you both look so young - I mean, about 15! I just showed it to Grace and Ell and they were speechless :o)

Glad that you have your hubby back from his trip. There's some heavy duty posting going on on his blog right now!

Counting down to July - I think the girls are at 100 days! Will let you know when the dolls arrive.

Blessings for now
