This afternoon, I took the boys out to the Olive Garden for a fancy dinner to celebrate how the boys handled our emergency yesterday. They were so brave.
It's just not the same without Preston, though. His office is in the midst of moving to the newest RSA building downtown. This is the ultimate "post 9/11" building. My goodness... you have to swipe a security card to get to the bathrooms, elevator and stairs! Guests will be escorted and there are security cameras everywhere. The structure is extra strong, too. Preston and his crew have been responsible for moving equipment over--computers and such. He's been home late almost every evening for a while, but it's been well after midnight since Friday. He's still at work right now. He's been coming home to rest a bit, get some food and head back to work.
Even though we've been without Preston this weekend, I've tried to keep it as normal for the kids as possible and have tried making our alone time special. Well, it was memorable!
I had the idea of taking a picture of the boys while we were at The Olive Garden. They held up a sign we made that said, "Dad - We miss you!" Preston was so touched. He definitely misses the kids, too. It is lonely in the evenings, but thankfully, this move is almost over (hopefully). The boys can't wait to spend some quality time with Dad now. You think I could get away with some time away by myself? Shhhh... don't tell anyone!! ;-)
