Troy had to go back to Texas today for work for the second time in less than 3 months. He'll be coming back home this Friday afternoon. Less than 2 weeks ago, his work told him he'd have to go back for a project that's going on, so they didn't give us much notice at all. It's kind of disappointing that his work keeps making him go back. It almost feels like we haven't really completely moved here since Troy isn't working for a company in Seattle. Hopefully that will change soon though when he gets a job here so he won't have to keep leaving me so much by myself. It's not much fun being here by myself and this time it's made worse by the fact that I have a cold that started yesterday. I just wish I could go back with him every time he goes back but I don't have the vacation hours to do that and plane tickets aren't cheap. I wish I could have gone back this time to spend time with my parents, especially my mom since her father died recently and the sister of one of their friends also died a few weeks ago. Hopefully the next time Troy goes back for work will be the last and maybe I'll be able to go with him, because being here alone for more than a day or two just really sucks.
