Finally a vacation

 We just got back this morning from a weekend camping trip and I admit it was so needed. The days were quite hot and absolutely beautiful but the nights were surprisingly cold. Luckily sleeping next to Gabe is like sleeping next to a heater. 🤣😉 We saw some very cute animals and I'd like to add some pictures of them but I don't know if I can. Hearing the water of the river rushing past our tent was so peaceful and calming; exactly what we both needed. To be fair this was the first proper time off either of us has had this year and we decided we needed it. Gabe actually slept past 4:00 am and slept peacefully, not worrying if his boss would call him in and demand he show up. Last weekend was awful for him and I truly wanted him to have some peace and relaxation this weekend. It wasn't an expensive vacation but it really didn't need to be. Neither of us are particularly materialistic and this was wonderful. If I'm honest I had been feeling a bit neglected as he's been working particularly hard lately and I wanted some more attention from him. His boss had been hounding him and his crew about finishing this project on time and I didn't even have to ask if it was tough on him; his face said it all. Each night he came home, hugged and kissed me, ate a bit, and wanted to go to bed. It's selfish of me for wanting his undivided attention maybe but I did. If there's any chance of me being his wife one day I know I need to compromise a bit and can't make everything about me but I don't like barely seeing the man I love either. It's kind of because of me that his boss at least lets him come home at night. When we were first getting together he would often work through the night and we both hated it. He's always been an extremely hard worker and is happy to give it his all but now that we're together he wants both; there has to be some way to make it work. I guess that's enough for now.
