It's both a good and a not-so-good thing.

The good thing: my man called me last night before bed. (yay!) and he said that all of his family (he was on a long weekend vacation with his extended family on his dad's side) was asking about me. They even asked if I would be participating in the family Christmas gift exchange... and if I would be coming to the beach (this vacation that he just went on) with them next year! He said that and I was just like .

So, the bad thing: in the same conversation, almost in the same sentence, he said that he didn't know when we would see each other again. Unfortunately that much we know. Which makes me sad...

Well, I suppose we'll figure it out. (We'll have to.) Anyway, I mostly want to share the happy news.
