Waiting

So it's nearly 12am and I'm fighting to stay awake to see Nathan when he gets home.  His shift ended at 10:30 but he's never out of there on time.  The 10.5hr shifts usually turn into 12's.  I just keep telling myself "this is only for a time".  When he's finished, he'll average ~33hr/wk.  I can totally handle that.  This 60-80hr work week getting paid for only 40hrs is for the birds! 

On a happier note, Nate doesn't go into work tomorrow until 3:30 so we plan to decorate the tree.  I know its a little early, but last year I got the Christmas tree up 5 days before Christmas.  I figure we need to get a lot more use out of it this year :)  We're traveling home to be with family for 6 days and I know I'm not going to feel like messing with it when we get back.  Unfortunately, Micah and I are heading out alone.  Nathan is working and we wouldn't get to see him much if we stayed here.  He'll be meeting up with us on Sunday in Effingham for Micah's newborn dedication and a belated Thanksgiving dinner.  Do you think it's too early to put in his vacation request for this week next year?  I try to roll with it but it's hard not being able to be with him on the holidays.  I'm so looking forward to Micah's first Christmas and Nathan is off too!  It's going to be such a great holiday!  I can't wait!

Ring, ring!  Just got a call from Nate and he's on his way home :)  Goodnight!
