Travel used to be easy.  Yeah, I certainly missed Colleen, but either one of us could go off and travel for work, pleasure, whatever, and it would be no big deal.  Gone for a few days was nothing, but now those same few days are grueling. 

To be away from Avery is tough.  I constantly think about how much fun she is to be around.  I am not sure how salesman have families, constantly being on the road.  I guess it is a lifestyle.  The travel that was required for swimming would be too much for me being gone on the weekends or for weeks at a time.

I found myself waking up at near the normal time Avery gets up in the morning – even though it meant I was up at 4:30am pacific time (6:30am CST).  I am just excited to be headed home and even though I will not see her tonight, I will be hopping out of bed tomorrow morning at the first signs of her waking up.
