The All-Star Break is almost upon us. There’s the anticipation of the Home Run Derby and mid-season trades and of course the MLB All-Star Game, but for most baseball wives there is one thing we look forward to the most– our husbands get to come HOME!!!! My husband has not seen our house since early April and it was for just a couple of days between Spring and the start of the season. Plus, this year brings his first 3-day All-Star Break that is actually a break because he doesn’t have to work his league’s All-Star game. Don’t get me wrong- it’s an honor to work an all-star game…but it is also an absolute thrill that he will be stepping foot in our own home. I’m pumped! I’ve been going crazy putting up our wedding photos, numerous baseball collectibles (between the both of us it’s absolutely ridiculous) and polishing our appliances…. it’s just that I want our house to feel so HOMEY. It really is important. Umps live out of hotels the entire season. A trip home is definitely something to celebrate! Hooray for the All-Star Break!
