Long Days and Nights

The two peas have been missing each other terribly since the hubby has been detained for call every third night for three weeks. Not to get too mushy, but it's a bummer, and it's the only news they've got to share. The wife's been sitting around, 'cause she has two weeks of vacation before school. At least there's plenty of projects to try and keep busy and make the time fly.

On a lighter note, both sets of parents to these two peas are celebrating 20+ years of marriage. Congrats to our awesome mothers and fathers!

In thinking about it, the wife couldn't help but reminisce on this lovely (and her favorite) Shakespeare Sonnet:
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, or Bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

(If one reads to the punctuation, rather than the line break, Shakespeare makes more sense.)
