First Night Away

For my job, I have to travel quite a bit between the months of November and March (maybe one day April!). The trips are just overnight trips, but I do not get back until the middle of the night on the second night. Yesterday I went on my first trip pf the season; my first night away from Drake.

I knew that I would be ok (as long as I had my friend Medela) and I knew that David and Drake would be fine also. This knowledge did not prevent me from obsessing preparing to help make things easier on David. I realized that I needed to make sure that David understood that my preparation in no means indicated that I had a lack of trust in him. I was just thinking to myself, what would make my life easier if David wasn't around and I did that for him.

I have many more trips in the months to come and I know that David and Drake (and me) will all be fine. It is good to have this first trip under my belt though. David's parents will be in town while I am away after Thanksgiving and then just one more trip before our big trip to Hawaii for Christmas. More to come on Drake's first plane trip, which also happens to be a 10+ hour trip.
