It’s not what you’re thinking.

I’m having a wonderful time. I’ve met the nicest (and most interesting) people, who I’m only rarely able to get on the microphone (folks are SHY!). I’m learning a ton from Joan–about both spinning and weaving…and how to turn a military career into a fiber shop.

Seriously.

No, the downside is October. Last year we missed Halloween at home, which stunk, but the Grandparents were there (all of them) so really, the kids didn’t suffer with me gone (would they have anyway? They love their Daddy!).

No, the problem is that in October I have my husband’s birthday and our anniversary (11 years of marriage this year, 12 of living together and 19 of me being in love with him–but who’s counting?).

So, this year, Andrew gets a phone call. And that sucks. I don’t like it at all. But there isn’t much I can do about it this year. I can make it up to him on our anniversary…I hope…

So here it is, your birthday clipart:
And, hey? If you get a chance, can you swing by and leave a happy birthday comment to him?

THURSDAY UPDATE:
HA!
I was able to corral my Dad, Stepmom, Mom, and Sister into surprising Andrew for his birthday. He had NO idea. We had Thing 1 and the babysitter in on it. He sounded SO happy when I phoned the restaurant. At least it was something.
