Travel Happy for Brad
Brad travels often for work. Sometimes the trips last 4-5 days, sometimes 4-5 weeks. When he takes short trips, we try to include a small happy. This is usually something like a small lego set or keychain. For longer trips, I try to do something bigger. Now this doesn’t always happen, but if I know about a trip long enough, I try to plan something to give him some encouragement while away for so long.
Back last year, he traveled for around 5 weeks. I found a pack of GI Joe Valentine’s on clearance and grabbed them just for a time like this. Melody filled out each one, and we placed it in an envelope. We also included a picture for every day he was gone. Some envelopes were labeled for specific days while others were left blank and he opened randomly. He opened one each day. We packed a few extras in case his trip was extended.
Brad traveling is hard, but we try to make the best of it with these little happies.
