One night to you lasted six weeks to me.

Okay, so I live about two minutes from work. A particular gas station is just beyond work, about 150 feet further. In a trip to that station and back home, it normally takes about 5 minutes, and that's including pumping gas and standing in line to pay.

Today, it took 45 minutes.

The traffic was a NIGHTMARE. It's officially tourist season here in the Outer Banks - and all I can say is, holy crap. A couple of my friends at work made upwards of $250 this morning at the restaurant from everyone passing us on the way (in either direction) to the beaches. It was insane.

I'm really hoping tomorrow is that crazy...I know I'm asking for trouble, stress, and anxiety, but I'd gladly put up with that for that much money.

I put up a new prettified layout last night! I've redone all of my sites in the past 24 hours. That was insane. -sigh-

It's gonna take a long time to love
It's gonna take a lot to hold on

It's gonna be a long way to happy
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to
Keep on rolling like a stone
Cause it's gonna be a long way to happy.
- Pink

It's been an incredibly long 7 days this past week, full of tears, laughter, "busyness", and relaxation - but as long as we come out stronger on the other side, that's all that matters. I love, adore, and respect my husband, even if it sometimes feels like a "long way to happy".

Hi Amber! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog to say hello :) Glad to hear that you got your internet back. Goodness knows, I would be lost without my internet access...

I hope that you're doing well. I love what you've done with your blog layout. Very beautiful and such a nice color scheme for summer.

Blessings,
Christina

I wasn't able to comment on your current post, so I had to come down to this one. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. I know that takes a lot of courage sometimes. i'm so sorry to hear how things are with you and your husband. It made me feel so sad. I know you want to hold on, and I pray the Lord gives you strength. I pray he intervenes and changes hearts and restores the relationship you once had. I hope that for you. Please let us know how you're doing. I so want you two to be back to how you once were, and I know you want that too. I said a prayer for you today. I hope this week brings peace and calm to your house. I mean that from my heart. Please let us know how you're doing. Have a good day.
