		<description><![CDATA[After being out for two weeks, my husband is officially en route to home. In fact, by the time I post this, he should only be 6 hours out.
Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I am a-ok with being on my own and his being gone for long periods of time. I&#8217;m just out of practice of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I doubt many people know that my husband and I dated long distance literally until about three months before our wedding.
I lived in Central Texas. He lived in Nashville, TN. Our &#8220;dating&#8221; days (which if you ask me when they began, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell you) existed in the form of phone calls, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, Valentine&#8217;s Day is one of my favorite holidays. To those who think its just a &#8220;Hallmark Holiday&#8221; I say, &#8220;Bah humbug.&#8221; I&#8217;ve liked Valentine&#8217;s Day since I was a kid. I liked Valentine&#8217;s Day when I was single. I like Valentine&#8217;s Day now that I am married.
I remember that in Kindergarten, [...]]]></description>

My Facebook friends feed and my Twitter feeds are full of musicians home for a few hours then off to wherever. And its also full of us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in high school and college, I used to joke that I was &#8220;a tax season orphan.&#8221; Today, my husband could rightfully call himself &#8220;a tax season widower.&#8221;
My parents have owned their own bookkeeping and tax preparation business for over 20 years. It&#8217;s perhaps pretty obvious and natural that I&#8217;d work for them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is one really big perk to having a husband that is a traveling musician: you DO get to do things you&#8217;d never do otherwise.
For example, two years ago I had the opportunity (which I took!) to go to Hawaii over the 4th of July holiday. Would we have gone otherwise? It&#8217;s possible, but also [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A key element of the relationship between a musician and their significant other is TRUST. This applies to all careers &#8212; military the largest example &#8212; in which couples are separated for long periods of time.
Last night, when my husband and I talked after his show, he told me about a couple he met after [...]]]></description>
