Married Packing

Matt and I are packing for our vacation with his family today, and I have made a few observations about married packing:

1. Matt and I have very different ideas about packing. I tend to be very organized (I make very detailed lists of what we need to bring) and one of those people who would be packed a whole week before if I could. Matt, while just as organized, is more last minute. He packs minutes before going out the door, but somehow ends up with everything he needs. If I do that, I end up forgetting half the stuff I need!

2. I MUST fold everything I plan on taking, I cannot just throw everything in to the bag and go. Today, everything was folded and rolled in order to fit into my bag. Matt would be ok with folding or not folding everything in the bad, depending on his mood and how much time he has to pack.


We are so alike sometimes, but so very different as well. While we are both organized, I am such a planner while he is much more spontaneous. We are very much looking forward to our vacation and a break from the everyday. It will be great to spend a week with his family and get to catch up with his parents, sister and brother in law, and our really cute nephew.

His dad's surgery went well, and he is healing well. They found some spots on his lungs and lymph nodes that they are checking out now, so we're not quite out of the woods yet on everything.

That's all for now. We are very excited about a week off!
