Tonight’s entry is short, but sweet. All day I have been preparing for our vacation that we leave on tomorrow. We are going to stay with my parents for a couple nights, then it’s off to Hawaii to visit the rest of my family. I haven’t been back home in two years, and I miss it terribly. Packing is always the hardest part, because we usually stay for about a month. I always end up packing tons of stuff, and wear the same three pieces of clothing for the whole trip. Today I examined my options, made some cuts, and got my selections down to the bare necessities.
When Nick got home this evening, he started sorting through all his stuff. First he gathered all his fishing gear, then he started in on his clothes. He was almost finished when I peaked over his shoulder at his pile. I smiled, then pointed out my smaller pile, and probably looked pretty smug. I have never, not once, packed less than Nick. I think he is still sorting through his stuff. Simplicity is pretty beautiful.
