Stupid India.

Brian is going to be in India for a *little* shy of 6 weeks.

SIX WEEKS.

Ugh. 

He is going for work and while I support him in ALL that he does and I know that his work in India is really important and he is perfect for the job, 
 I think India is a pretty stupid place. 

For one thing Mumbai is 8,387 miles away. 

I mean, come on. That's a little ridiculous.

For another thing it's happening during my least favorite month of the year. 

August will be extra, extra long now. 

Awesome.

I am also starting a brand new job and it stresses me out that I will be by
 myself through this transition. 

I know that's a bit dramatic and I know that I won't be alone, alone.

I have amazing friends and family who are surrounding me during this time 
and I am so, so grateful. 

I guess it's just that we aren't used to distance in our relationship. Brian's job does not usually require travel, so we are rarely apart. 
{HUGE shout out to those families that deal with traveling spouses on a regular basis. 
You are true Saints!!!}
I am mostly dreading the lack of natural daily interaction.

He is my best friend and we do everything together.
We have a damn good routine down and I love it. 
I thrive because of it. 
*sigh*

At the end of the day, I know we'll be fine.

It might even open up a new level of confidence in me and a

 growth spurt for us that will make our relationship even stronger. 

{Great optimistic spin, eh??}

But, in the meantime, I think India is stupid and I am counting down the days
 until we can look like this again:
