Back to Skype, but temporarily

After nearly three months of living together, it was time for Dave to go back to the US for a project he needed to complete. We have spent every single day together since 13 August, bar a two-day trip I took to London for work, and it has been absolute bliss! So, you can imagine how it was when Dave left last week. It was back to a long-distance marriage via Skype.

I must admit it was strange seeing the same 'setting' during our first conversation. I had looked at that same wall, chair and dark room for so long - but I had forgotten it completely! I had forgotten how many hours we had spent in the seven months prior to August on the computer, talking through a web-cam. It was slightly nostalgic but not really. At least it is only for a short time. In fact, in only four more sleeps I will be back in Arkansas with him. This is the third time this YEAR that I have been in Arkansas. My family must be thrilled - and slightly bewildered - by my reoccurances. It should prove to be a nice visit, though, as it's the first time in eight years that I have been there for Thanksgiving.

Now all I have to do is start packing!
