Day Three Hundred and Thirty-Two

The Carry-On

Adam left on a 6-day road trip this morning back to the West side of Florida. Fort Myers for 3 games and then North to Port Charlotte for another 3 games. Luckily, this is one of the last away trips he'll take! Wahoo! Then it's home for the last two weeks of the season!! Over the course of 4 1/2 months of traveling, he's proven quite practiced in his suitcase packing abilities. In that little, itty bitty, teeny weenie carry-on, he managed to fit 4 pairs of dress shorts, 7 collared shirts, 7 pairs of undies, 5 pairs of socks, one belt, 3 workout shirts, 2 workout shorts, and one pair of shoes. Excuse me? And he actually had the audacity to tell me that he thought he overpacked! Oh please! If any girl, in her most honest attempt, could fit 6 days of clothes into that carry-on, I'd give her a prize. Oh, and in his backpack: his Bible, journal, iPad, book, headphones, deodorant, toothbrush, hair brush, toothpaste, and loose change. Tomorrow, I'll bring the shampoo and conditioner...because we all know that his long hair needs it.

And off he goes! I hate watching him turn his back to me and leave. It breaks my little heart in two. But usually, I get a turn-around wink or shouted "I love you," which makes the goodbye a little easier. But I don't know if it'll ever just get plain ol' easy. Even if I do get to see him the next day! Hey, that one night alone (tonight) really stinks! I hate sleeping by myself! But at least I have the comfort of our apartment to snuggle up in...he just has his favorite pillow. Poor boy. 

I did a lot on my computer today. I have a lot to plan, make, and purchase in the next month or so, and today was dedicated to just that. Our one-year anniversary is coming up here quickly and I want it to be PERFECT!!! So many ideas! I did manage to fit in a 15 mile bike ride, pool time, and a trip to the store for shampoo and conditioner. Other than that...all computer work. And while I was searching through photos and ideas, I found this. And a HUGE grin crossed my face. Our Save the Dates! "We're Getting Married!" Ah! And so many other special details he inserted! Good work Mr. Conley! I'm still crazy about them! (And you, too.) 

And then I stumbled across this too! Our wedding invitation we sent out over a year ago! And ALL crafted by my creative husband! The entirety of our invite was made solely by Adam, with a few suggestions piped in by Yours Truly. On the left: the front of the invite. On the right: the back. The two sides were printed on one piece of card stock, made to look like a ticket! The bottom was even perforated, just like the real thing! Our guests tore off the RSVP piece and sent it back to us. Gosh, he's such a genius! 

And finally, I found our "Thank Yous." Love, love, love them! And I absolutely loved looking through the memories of just a year ago, before I was Mrs. Kendall Conley.
