After Jon and I finished our winter semester, it didn't really feel like summer had officially begun. Jon still had to study to take the MCAT in the middle of May, and it felt a lot like any other semester (except I'm not in classes and working full-time). If you don't remember, Jon took the test last summer but the power went out. (I swear, this kind of thing only happens to us..) The only spot available afterward was in Wyoming, so a few days ago he headed off to good ol' Casper, Wyoming.
When he got there, he didn't have service the whole entire trip. His laptop is ancient, so face timing wasn't really an option. Facebook messaging became our primary source of communication, and even that didn't last very long.
The day of his test, I came home from work to an empty apartment, knowing I wouldn't be able to talk to my husband. I looked at the dishes in the sink, the bills on the table, the empty fridge and cupboards that needed groceries, and I thought,
"I have to get out of here."
The only problem was Jon had the car and our jeep is broken. So I deep cleaned the apartment, went and visited some neighbors, all the while knowing deep down, we were so close to having everything change.
When Jon got home, we celebrated with an ice cream date, and we decided to make a bucket list:) This summer we are going to try and do everything on it! We figure when we are 90 years old, laying on our death bed, Jon and I aren't going to say to each other, "Remember the summer after our son died, how we worked everyday and watched Netflix at night? Those were really, really good times."
No, those aren't the moments we will remember.
The first thing on the list? Road trip!
More details to come:)
