Our Nights without Brett

Are pathetic. It is very sad. I don't even know why it is so bad now. Brett has been gone before and although I miss him terribly, my emotions were just off the wall this time!!

Friday night, after I had finally gotten myself to sleep, I was waking up every hour with my heart pounding and due to some kind of noise or movements I thought I heard or saw. So, as soon Adalie woke up we decided to go spend the night with my sister Jennifer and hang out. We had lots of fun just hanging out and doing a little shopping. We even stopped by and had some pizza with my sister in law Monica, whose husband and boys also went hunting this weekend. We came home this afternoon though to do some cleaning and laundry before Brett gets home in the morning. I figured I should do something besides spend his money while he was gone. haha

Adalie has missed her dad and always ask where he is, like she does everyday already. This time though after she asks me this is usually how the conversation goes:

Adalie: "Where is Daddy?"
Me: "Remember? he went hunting this weekend, to shoot some elk."
Adalie "Oh ya hunting. Gotta shoot some milk?"
Me: "Some ELK"
Adalie" Milk?"
Me: "E L K... ELK. There is no M. It is an animal."
Adalie "Oh animal? Some Milk. Ok. Are we gunna go get him?"
Me: "No he took the jeep he will be home on Monday."
Adalie "Oh. He will bring us some milk on Monday."
Me: "Ok I will tell him to bring home some milk for us"

Haha. She is so cute. Even when Brett called she asked him if he is bringing us some milk.

What a cute conversation. Probably better that she thinks he is shooting milk rather than an animal.
Gunnison CO is not far from where I grew up. You make me homesick with all your Bronco and Colorado talk! :)

Too cute. You can probably stick with that story for a few more years. Maybe you can delay the "Daddy shoots Bambi" conversation for a while. :) Just kidding! Chris would be jealous. Every year he wants to go hunting!
