Dan came home on leave this weekend for 72-hours of much needed rest before heading back to New Jersey tomorrow. Having him back felt like a rush of fresh air. Suddenly all the stress and pressure of the past few weeks melted away. I forgot what an amazing job Dan does of making me feel calm and at peace. I swear I could stand with him in the middle of a hurricane and somehow be still. We made the most of our time together and tried very hard not to think about the upcoming week. Right now we're just enjoying our time and not thinking too much about tomorrow.

Playing in the waves at Silver Strand Beach
Taking time to be silly...
...and taking time to reflect
