Wife Will [?] While Hubbys Away

{this post was imported from my old blog} 

Heading off to work knowing I wouldn't see Kyle when I returned home wasn't the best way to begin the week. Thankfully, our crazy schedules have given us much practice at this routine.
Kyle left for Roanoke, Virginia for a pediatric rotation for the next four weeks, only to be followed by four additional weeks in Moorefield, West Virginia for a family medicine rotation. We plan to see each other on weekends when possible (we have retreated to what our dating relationship was once like!).

As Kyle spends his days in the hospital and trying to find fun things to do around Roanoke, I'll be in Charlottesville nudging away at all my to-dos. Here's the mental list I've gathered over the past few days...This is a perfect example of my goal setting abilities.

Here's my lofty list:
- finish decorating our den
- repaint our front porch
- design our wedding photo album & order prints
- organize & decorate our guest room/ office space
- read my new photography books
- Wander through C'ville with camera in hand & take advantage of the breathtaking fall scenery
- have multiple dinner parties with friends & try out new recipes
- taste test the Thai restaurants that Kyle prefers not to go to
- clean out and organize my closet (for the 3rd time this year)!
- finish my training & Run the 2010 Detroit Marathon
