Reply #41: This is the longest we've been apart in the 9 years we've been together.

And it couldn't have come at a more inconvenient time. We've been renting for years and two days after he gets back we move into our first home. The first time either of us has ever purchased a home. I'm pretty much living in a packed-up apartment, which is fine, but...ahhhh!! Stress!!

When the men get together, they pretty much just talk about fellowship. My FIL is the accountant at his church, and since my BIL has started his own congregation, dad pretty much is pretty much just giving financial advice. The BIL gets distracted by me because I love to help clean-up after dinner, and seems preoccupied and curious as to why I am doing the dishes, instead of the ladies.

Personally, I've been trying to figure out whether I'm an atheist or agnostic. I know my family would have no problem what my decision would be. My sister and her husband consider themselves conservative, but they are SOOO NOT!
