It doesn't matter who you are. Whether you are a traveling nomad like me and my husband or if you work a normal job where your off days are on Saturday and Sunday, the months of September through December fly by. Once January arrives you are still coming down from the "high" of the holiday season that it too flies by. Then we are greeted by February, the month where most of the U.S. is consumed with who their Valentine is going to be. February for this family means a whole lot of other things....
It means reporting to Spring Training for the start of the new Baseball season.
It means throwing those first bullpens.
It means packing for the next 7 months.
It means fighting about what I am packing us for the next 7 months. ;)
It means finding a place for us to live for 5 of those months.
It means making sure we have gotten all loose ends tied before heading out.
It means reuniting with old friends!
This season it means preparing to meet a whole new team and organization.
And it also means saying goodbye to our families.

Even though we are saying bye we have so many exciting things to look forward to and that is what keeps us keepin' on. We hope that our families know just how much we love and miss them during the season and always look forward to seeing them when they come to visit.
Absence does make the heart grow fonder....
Love,
E
