The New Normal is Weird

My life has a new "normal" and it's hard to get used to.

Sherry and I got married just before our senior year in college. Since then, except for occasional business trips (mine) and mission trips (hers) we haven't spent long stretches of time away from one another.

Now, however, we're apart five nights a week every week. And that's just ...

Weird.

Thank God for phones. And Skype (it's so great to see her smile.)

But it's not the same as being in the same place.

We're adapting. She's learning lots of stuff, and doing very well (of course!) And we certainly enjoy seeing each other when we get the chance -- all of that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" stuff can be so true.

But it's weird.

Good night, Sherry. Sleep well.

[See, that's weird!]
