Lonely in Louisville

There they are. My family. Very attractive bunch.

I'm getting ready to leave for 6 days to go to Louisville, Kentucky for work. First of all, I really wish I was heading to a more glamorous destination. The tourist highlight of my week will most likely be when I get to leave the hotel where our convention is being held to go to the Louisville Slugger Baseball Museum, which the fraternity I work for has rented out for an evening. Since I'm not a huge sports fan to begin with and I'm definitely not into baseball, I foresee yet another exciting evening where I will be mingling with older gentlemen and hearing about the "good ol' days" when they were in college.

Secondly, I'm really gonna miss my boys. I'll be working from 8:00 in the morning to 11:00 at night so the week's bound to go by fast but I'm sure I'll be pulling out this picture and looking at it all the time.




I'm fairly certain Cole will hit some amazing milestone while I'm gone. The First Word being the one I fear missing most. The ONLY way I'll forgive him for developing coherent speech while I'm gone is if his first word is Mama.


I know he'll be in great hands while I'm gone. Philip is a WONDERFUL dad. He knows how to do all the things that I do and then some and he'll take care of everything just fine. I'm more worried about him forgetting to water my flowers and vegetable garden than his ability to care for Cole. Plus, Cole's expecting visitors while I'm gone: Grandma and Cousin Riley and also Papa, Nana and Cousin Kaitlyn.


He'll have a great week. I just hope with all the fun he has, he'll remember who I am when I return. Because if he doesn't, I may just never want to leave again... unless the destination is anything other than Louisville, Kentucky and the companion for the trip is my husband and not my co-workers...
