Aka... my babe, boo, booboo, sugs, love, Mr. Christensen (and the list goes on)

I love having time to myself. For like a few hours....tops. I really don't do well being alone and yes, that is one of my poorer qualities. I think too much. This brain of mine never shuts off. For example- every night we climb into bed and Austin drifts off into this deep wonderful sleep within 10 minutes max while I lay there wide eyed and 'thinking' until the wee hours of the morning. He always says, "it's so easy, just shut your eyes and sleep!" I wish!
So this is one of those moments. I've been thinking. Austin left on Thursday to go camping with his brother, Gage, and his cousin, Jordan, so this will be my third night sleeping alone. I've been posted up on my couch watching any and everything on Netflix every moment that I haven't been at work since he left. I miss him. Like a lot. And I think a lot of the time I take him for granted. If I were closer to home I'm positive I would've been spending these nights with my girlfriends and enjoying our time apart. I know time spent apart is healthy for us, but then I get these crazy thoughts like... "this is what my life would be without him". And I hate it.
Austin helps me to be a better me, and I feel like that me isn't complete without him. So as lonely as I am at this moment, I am also extremely grateful because it helps me to take a step back and remember how much I love him, need him and enjoy every moment we spend together.

I can't wait to add "hubby" to that list of names for him! Oh, and I also can't wait to kiss that cute face of his when he gets home tomorrow and hear allllll about his trip...which I know will consist mostly of deer horns ;)
