UK Assignment

My wife will be sent to the UK on assignment for four months by the last week of August. She will be handling the transition for one of the systems by a very large client. I'm sad at the prospect of not being with my wife for four long months. I just wish that her stay in the UK would not be extended beyond this coming December. This would be her first time on an airplane and away from family and friends. Its a good thing that she would be traveling with a co-worker who is also a first timer. She would be living with other Filipino women in an apartment sponsored by the company. But what bothers her the most is our son. She would miss him terribly.

Her only consolation during her stint abroad is the financial freedom we would achieve. We could pay all of our debts and have savings to spare. I'm a very thrifty person, I plan on spending only her local salary and not her UK salary. Her local salary would go to the payment of bills, debt, in-laws allowance, my son's needs and wants, house expenses, and my daily expenses. My salary plus her salary abroad would be our savings. Spending on a modest luxury would be done when my wife comes home a few days before Christmas.
I'm somewhat overwhelm at the idea of keeping thing in order while my wife is away. I would be going the market alone, taking my son to doctor for a check up, keeping tabs on our monthly bills, and many other stuff. How could I survive this four months ahead of me without my wife!!!! Aaahhhhhh!!!!! I miss her already.

Ok, that's it for now. My life's adventure To Be Continue.....
