And he's finally back


I tried to stay cryptic here on the blog for my safety, but let's back up a few months.

Back in April, we found out that Juan scored an awesome accounting internship with Pricewaterhouse Coopers. He is ridiculously amazing and I am so proud of him. The internship was to be in Denver June-August, 8 weeks.

I work full time at BYU, in which our family insurance is included, not to mention it is not realistic to quit such a great job in this economy. We were not in the position where I could go with him to Denver.

For the past 8 weeks we have been living in 2 different states! We are blessed enough to have been able to see each other every weekend but one that we were apart. We had our adventures in Denver, and Juan visited here for the 4th of July, and also SURPRISED me on my family vacation up in the mountains. As in he showed up at the pool while I was there babysitting my nephew on a Friday night, and I didn't even notice him until he was 12 inches away from me. I was so shocked! It also helped that Juan loved the internship and all his co-workers and supervisors were so welcoming and kind, and he loved the atmosphere of the Denver office.

Fast forward to today- we made it. Back together again. I love our normal life. I love sitting around doing nothing with Juan. I am not the fantastic traveler, zooming off every weekend. I'd take the living room of our one-bedroom apartment any night of the week over the glamour and glitz of going out on the town.

Welcome home Juan!

Congrats on the internship, Juan! Luke and I were apart for 5 weeks and only saw each other 1 weekend, so I know how it is to miss your man. I'm happy you're finally back together :)

That is such a long time to live apart. What a blessing it was to have some cheap flights during that time. The surprise visit from Juan was the best! He's an awesome guy! Have fun relaxing back home together.

I had no idea you guys were apart this summer! Weren't you apart 2 summers ago as well? Yikes, that's tough!! I'm glad that you've made it, and that he's back!!

Wow! That would be so hard! I'm glad you survived! So if Juan loved his job, is he considering taking it full-time?
