Ammon left Wednesday morning for the Mountain Man Rendezvous. We have a brother in our ward who is in charge of the Trading Post up there, and when he invited Ammon, it was like a little boy in a candy store... or Ammon in a candy store! He has been SOOOOOO excited ever since. He grew out his 'beard' (the poor guy is still part Navajo) for two months and has been talking about it ever since to any man that would listen (men are the only ones who understand). I've tried to be as supportive as possible... usually I tend to rub it in how much I will miss him when he makes plans to be gone for overnight things. It's horrible of me, but apparently it helps get the missing out early cause I have REALLY missed him these last few days. More than usual. Here are a few random things I miss:
1. Perfect blankets. Every night, after our family prayer, Ammon tucks me into bed. It's not the same when you do it yourself.
2. Laughing at me. I don't think I'm all that funny, but when Ammon mimics me or repeats something I say, it is HILARIOUS!!
3. Kaleb's Ni Ni. Kaleb has a bottle before bed every night and he's always so sleepy when he's finished. However, when we wave "Night, Night" to Daddy he gets a big grin and his eyes light up again. Then as we walk away, he tries to keep his eyes on Daddy till we turn the corner. So adorable!!
4. Heavy CARSEAT! It's just understood that if Ammon's around, he carries the carseat full of 22 pound baby... but (insert whine here) I've had to do it!
5. Goosebumps. There's a way that Ammon smiles at me that sends chills up my spine and gives me goosebumps. I think I miss that the most.

That is so sweet. It's good to appreciate the little things. Hope Ammon gets home soon!
It is the little things you miss most when your loved ones aren't around. I discovered that about the kids this week (Spring Break) when they were at Nada's. I even missed their yelling and running through the house!

First things first....how can you NOT think you're funny?!? But I can understand...Absence sure make the heart grow fonder. Glad you don't have to endure him gone for too long. But just think...those arm muscle will come in nicely?!?
Funny how these little things help us to appreciate all that those wonderful weird husbands do for us and to us! Lots of love!!!
