First Weekend Gone

I have almost made it my first weekend without Harris... and boy am I excited for him to come home! On Friday I went up to my parents house. It was weird sleeping back in my old room and bed and Harris not being there. I had a good time with my family... but it was hard when the night came, and he wasn't there. The words of a hymn, Abide With Me; 'tis Eventide, came to mind and it gave me comfort.

Abide with me; 'tis eventide.

The day is past and gone;

The shadows of the evening fall;

The night is coming on.

Within my heart a welcome guest,

Within my home abide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;

Behold, 'tis eventide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;

Behold, 'tis eventide.

Saturday I was busy which was nice, but always in the back of my mind I was always thinking about Harris and missing him. In the evening I left my house I was only going to be gone for a little while so I didn't take my keys because I was just going to leave the door open.... but out of habit the door still got locked. I got the spare key from my sister-in-law but it would get stuck. It was so frustrating, I just wanted to go home and sleep in my own bed. Fortunately I was able to sleep over at my brother-in-law's and sister-in-law's. This morning I tried to unlock the door again and I got it to open. It was such a relief!

This afternoon I received a message that the road coming home was closed. He didn't know when they would make it home.I was heart broken. I was looking forward to seeing him, and now I would have to wait even longer. As Harris kept me updated I found out he would be home about 12. Not as early as he would have been home, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I am now anxiously waiting for his arrival  I am so excited to see him!
