Saying Goodbye

Last kiss for a while

Last kiss for a while

When we got the tickets to Supercross, we thought it would be a great place to say bye to Mike.  That way we are not leaving our home and him.  So he went with us to our first stop and is flying home.  I’m usually not a big fan of public loving…. he so great….so awesome… I’m so in love …my husband is amazing…blah blah blah

But today, I’m going to be one of “those” people!  You see Mike and I are a little different than some couples.  Mike likes everything structured and stay home to relax and I like to flutter around and fly by the seat of my pants.  Sometimes I feel jealous, when I see couples that are always doing stuff together and seem to be so attached to each other.  That is until my friends are dreading asking their spouse if they can go do something.  Then I feel grateful.  Mike and I  are both really independent people and have built this life in a way that neither of us would ever try to crush or stop the others dream.  Even if it is hard on the other person we always support and never say no.  I actually learned this from Mike.  He is much better at supporting me than I am him.  When I brought this idea up, he laughed and said sounds great!  I don’t think he actually really thought I would do it. So to his surprise when the plans started coming together I could see him stressing out that this was going to happen.  So true Mike form. …He kissed me on the forehead and said I would rather you didn’t do this but I know you are going to, so lets make you safe.  He got the motorhome ready, got a great car for me to  tow, top of the line towing system, triple A RV service and a spreadsheet that has formulas that change all the dates of my arrival days depending on how long I stay at one place.

I know this has been hard on him.  He is a jerk one minute and kissing my ears telling me he will miss them the next minute.  He gives me crossroads in my trip where I could just come home, waits a couple days, then he books his airline ticket for the weekend.

When I married Mike I told him “I have wings, promise me you will never try to clipped them.”  He has kept his promise.
