It has been a whirlwind few weeks at the Phillips house and I have a ton to blog about but I want to take a second today to focus on my husband.
Last year, Adam decided he'd been in engineering long enough and wanted to follow his passion.....he became a teacher and busted his butt to get it done! I've never seen someone so determined.....I have never been more proud of him.
Today, he left for Duke University for 2 full weeks.....the longest we've ever been apart in our 7 years together.....the hardest thing I've ever had to do....watch him say goodbye to not only me but to Liam knowing he wouldn't see his baby boy for 2 full weeks at such a young age. He is there for training for the upcoming school year-2 intense weeks-full 8 hour days of non stop classes and labs just to learn what he'll teach his kids this year. I am so very proud of him.....sad for me because he's my best friend and I never want to leave his side but so proud of all he's doing and his hard work.
I am of course teary eyed as I write this.....I will miss his laugh and his smiles when I get home after a long day at work....I will miss watching him with Liam and how wonderful he is.
I want to take this chance to thank him.....for the sacrifices he made while I was pregnant, on bed rest and as as he stayed home this summer on his "vacation" and played not only daddy but house husband as well. He has stepped up to the plate while I had to return to work and I have never seen someone give so sacrificially of his time and energy. Adam, you are a blessing to us...Liam and I will be okay here without you but we don't want you to think for a second that we don't miss you. Thank you for leading this family, thank you for working so hard to provide....we can't wait for you to return so we can spend the 2nd half of this year together....just the 3 of us.....for the next phase....a new school year and a baby boy watching his daddy lead others....a wonderful example you set for our son....He is lucky to have you as a daddy and I am blessed to call you husband and best friend.
Rock your training honey.....you were meant to do this! God gave you an amazing gift....run with those talents and don't look back!
I love you so very much and I'm counting down the days!
