Well, yesterday marks the start of the 3rd or 4th (I can’t remember how many exactly) time that Heidi has embarked on the famed trip to Iowa. The trip where I’m excited for the first day or two about having some free time to game, study, or whatever, and then by the third day, I’m so ready for my family to come home.

This time around, I reached that point somewhere around hour five. Heidi and I are a team. When we said for better and for worst we meant it. We’ve been through great times, and truly horrible times and each instance, I can’t imagine having anyone else by my side…

So, here I am… Alone… Nothing to do, while Heidi and Rhys are speeding across the nation to Iowa. They should be arriving in Roswell, NM right about now. I hope she sends pictures of the nutty crap in that town.

OH! And this year’s challenge for me is keeping her garden alive. Her first garden. The garden which is thriving, despite her self proclaimed inability to grow a garden. The garden which she has said brings her so much joy. Yep, I have to keep that thing alive… In the desert of Arizona… In the 107F heat… No pressure… LOL
