I often think that Road Widows are a very lucky group. We have a special appreciation of time spent with our spouse/boyfriend/fiance. Even so, life can get busy and the time our road warrior is home can easily get lost in the shuffle of errands, jobs, kids, and other events. Before you know it, the [...]

For Christmas, my husband wanted to give me “a memory” instead of buying me some material possession that will fall apart or be forgotten as time passes. He has a very busy work schedule these first few months in 2012. He is trying to get in enough touring before we take time off to care [...]
Keep On Dreaming
Posted in Relationships, tagged dreams, identity, marriage, relationships on December 6, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I recently finished a book by Kristin Hannah called “Distant Shores.” It’s a book about a married couple who throughout the course of a 20+ year marriage and two kids, drift apart. Mainly it’s about the wife’s journey to rediscover herself and rekindle the dreams she let fizzle while she was busy supporting and living [...]
Honesty is the Best Policy

In my inaugural post here on Road Widows, I would like to speak into the lives of all the newbies out there. It’s a little tid-bit of knowledge I’ve gained over the past couple of years of being a road widow. I don’t know Chris or Nise very well yet and I don’t know how [...]
A Vote of Confidence
Posted in General, Relationships, tagged motherhood, relationships, support on October 3, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Over the past few months I have gotten quite a few comments and emails from fellow Road Widows – saying they can relate, expressing how glad they are to have found this blog and talking about their current situation. In reading these comments and emails I have come to realize that lately I haven’t been [...]
Love of the music…

This was originally posted in my personal blog… but upon urging of my husband, I am cross posting it here w/o any editing. ♥♥♥ I noticed yesterday that I had a hit on this blog with the search, “musicians love music more than spouce.” Yeah, I didn’t fix the spelling. Keepin’ it real here. That [...]
A Belated Father’s Day Blessing

Yesterday was Father’s Day (hope all the dads out there had a good one!) and as I swooned over my husband for his first Father’s Day I realized something. Despite the unexpected turn of events in our life, there is at least one positive thing that has come out of everything: the beautiful relationship he [...]
Theme Song
Posted in General, Relationships, tagged For the First Time, marriage, support, The Script on June 10, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My husband has been incredibly supportive and understanding lately of my moods, emotions, fears and frustrations. (Supportive of me when he’s the one who probably needs my support. But I digress …) Anyway, he played me this song a little while ago by The Script (if you don’t know who they are, you should) – [...]
A Real Confession

It’s been a long time since I last wrote. In fact, one of the last posts I wrote was about parking the tour bus. Well, our tour bus is still parked, indefinitely. But my husband is still doing music. It’s still his passion. And I’m still trying to be a supportive wife. But as I [...]
Weekend Away
Posted in Relationships on March 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s no surprise that Husband’s schedule can get crazy. We have had seasons (and will have seasons) in which we may go several weeks –or months – without a real weekend together. And often when he is home for a weekend, we have such a long list of chores and errands that it’s not relaxing [...]
