End of the Season

So I've officially come to the terms that I am not a great blogger. I apologize for all the gaps between postings. Anyways, to bring you up to date- Today was the last baseball game of the season. A very eventful one for us, I might add. Well I actually wrapped up enough nerves and was able to sing the National Anthem for Daniel's last game. I was very nervous to the time adding up to the big event for me, but as soon as I got out there on that field, I can say that I completely lost all nerves and just went for it. I was so happy I pushed myself to do it because singing has always been a big part of my life since I was a little girl and something I've always enjoyed and I just felt so privileged to be able to incorporate that with what my husband loves too:baseball! It was exciting and very memorable for me. This day also ended up addingmore memorable moments to it, and unfortunately, ones we would rather live without. Daniel was leading off in the lineup for this last game and during his first at bat, he got hit by the pitch right in the head!! It was a 95 MPH fastball!!Daniel hit the floor immediately and I was left sitting in the stands with just my fears and my prayers. Daniel eventually got up and was able to walk and run, but the trainer decided it'd be best to pull him from the game and get checked out by a doctor for precautionary reasons. So we ended up in the hospital today and Daniel ended up having to get a CT scan. The results came out good and there seemed to be no damage or injury to the head. So Praise the Lord! He's taken care of us once again! Daniel does have a headache still, but we're just praising God that it wasn't anything too serious. Because it was a pretty hard hit to the head. So yes, this is unfortunately the way we had to end our 2009 baseball season. But Daniel had an awesome game yesterday, going 2 for 4 with a double! So in conclusion, this baseball season may have in no way gone the way we intended, but Daniel and I both feel we are walking away as stronger people because of the things we have gone through this season. We head out tomorrow morning for our drive back to Cali.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention we went to Chicago on Daniel's last off-day! We had an amazing time. We went to Shedd Aquarium, which was so breathtaking and really makes you realize how we put God in a box sometimes.. He has just made countless beautiful and creatively crafted creatures! What a big God we have! We also went to Sears Tower and even stepped out on the clear glass they have up there. Pretty crazy, but awesome experience! We also got to check out and walk around Navy Pier. We were blessed with a beautiful day that day and I will cherish those memories forever! I'll try to post some pics soon :)

Hope you all are doing amazing!
