Home Alone

When you have been with someone a couple years like Isa and I you start to get really used to you relationship. Sometimes it seems like there are not a whole lot of milestones your relationship has left to achieve. I don’t mean this in a bad way, its not that we are in a rut, its just the short of the weeding, buying a house, having a baby, that kind of big stuff we have really gobbled up most of the smaller milestones and it is not often that I am surprised by peoples appraisals of our relationship. Last week marked a surprise though. Isa left last Tuesday for a week long visit with a friend in Arizona. When I would bring this up with people, my family, coworkers, and friends old and new I got the exact same reaction from everyone “What are you going to do?” This was surprising for me, not so much from people who have never known me when I was not dating Isa and from my mother who never really believed I was self-sufficient, but it was very surprising from my older friends. It seems that it is now officially difficult for people to envision me separate from my wife to be for any prolonged period of time.
