That's how many days it's been since Neil and I have resided at the same address.
On September 18th, we left our apartment (our AWESOME apartment) together to drive him to Quebec for his training in the hopes of a better, more promising job opportunity!
The good, actually, the GREAT news is that not only did Neil succeed at obtaining this opportunity, he totally NAILED it by getting an award for TOP MARKS in his class, thereby making all of us who love him so, so proud!!
The down side? We've now been apart for 90 days and we still have another 50 or 60 days to go before we can share the same address again. Don't get me wrong, we are thankful to even have the opportunity to start a brand new life in another Province, and for the excitement of figuring everything out as we go along, good AND bad... we want it all!! But we'll both feel better once we're doing all of it... in the same time zone!!! :)
Our friend Valerie, as well as a few other of our friends often ask us how we're making it through this separation? Having only seen each other 16 out of the last 90 days and only another 8 days in the next almost 60 days, i gotta tell you .... IT KINDA SUCKS!!!! ...(Trying to keep it PG 13 here!).
I won't even try to sugar coat it or b.s. my way through any other answer... IT JUST PLAIN SUCKS....
Although we have an AMAZINGLY, SPECTACULAR support group of ridiculously awesome family and friends, without whom we could not have survived even the first WEEK, let alone all this time.......... today, on this 90th day, we're hoping time starts moving a little faster so we can be together again! :)
For now, we
are thankful that Neil will be coming home for Christmas!!! He will literally be the best Christmas present i receive as I will be picking him up at the airport on Christmas day morning!! Thank you Santa!!!Oh yeah and Santa?... can you make it February already?
Looking forward to Christmas y'all!
Veronica
