Alone

I literally had to beg Rick to go out with his friends tonight. He looked at me last night with sad eyes. He asked if I was sick of him. Sometimes a person just needs some alone time. Time to think and ponder on issues about life and things... No, I am not sick of him. But I miss the days when I anxiously wait for him to come home. The joy of seeing him come through the door, the "welcome home" kiss and the happy feeling of not being alone anymore. I know it sounds weird. But it was our thing when he was still working. Nowadays, it's the other way around. I miss our old thing. But this is our life now and I accept that without a problem. Although it wont hurt to visit my alone time sometimes. Just like today.


Photography

Not so many blog entries ago, I had mentioned that Rick got a DSLR camera for his birthday. To my disappointment, he doesn't use it that much. His hand is not very steady. He needs a tripod and a remote. We are still waiting on the later. So he has been asking me to take pictures. With delight, I click away. I fell in love with photography. If only they're a tad cheaper, I'd buy me one as well. For now, I will settle with borrowing his. I know pretty soon he'll get sick of me hogging the camera. I'll try to control myself. I will control myself. Below are samples of our lame attempt in photography.

Father Andrew with Ella Jean after the baptism. He wont stop dancing!
But I captured a good one. They look so sweet together.

Rick took this picture of Amnicon Falls. We took a total of 80 shots that day. Only 10% came out good. Hey, practice makes perfect!

I took this one today. Another bloom from a plant I got from Rick
just because he missed me.

Have a nice weekend, everyone!
