it's a deer widow's weekend!!

as brandon is off to exert his masculinitity this weekend on an almost all male camp trip to tabiona, where he hopes to find and shoot a deer, i will officially be a deer widow. now, you may be thinking "awww, he's going hunting on the 6th anniversary of your wedding?!?!," but before you do that just know that i am ever so excited for a weekend at home by myself to do exactly what i want, when i want to. of course i have some plans to get together with friends and family, but what i'm most excited for is to just be me. not that i'm not me with brandon around or don't love being married and all that jazz. it just never happens that i'm at home alone for an extended period of time and my mind is spinning with the endless possiblities. what's funny about it is that i'm not thinking about doing anything that i couldn't do if my husband were here. it's just that i don't have to worry about what someone else wants or is planning while i embark on this weekend. there's something liberating in that. brandon and i spend plenty of time apart and i am not afraid to go on vacay by myself (well, with friends) but it is very rare when i am the one left home. actually, i think it's only happened when he's gone hunting. usually for one night, but i might get two this year:) ahhhh! (that's a pre-emptive sigh of relaxation.)
