We meet once again after a long break between my last posting. I think I may have officially broken my record for the longest gap between blogs. I apologize yet once again.
Anyways, It's been so long that I'm not even sure how to begin to sum up the last 2 months for us...
I'll start off by saying spring training is now over. Daniel had a great spring training. He hit .321 with 3 Doubles, 5 RBIs, and 5 Stolen Bases. He even got called up to 4 big leagues- Praise God! :)
One of the biggest highlights of spring was that Daniel got to be apart of Ken Griffey Jrs. WALK OFF GRAND SLAM!
(Here's some links of some articles if you want to check it out: http://lumberkings.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/03/carroll_paves_way_for_griffeys.html
That was truly a moment I know we will both have etched into our memories for years to come. Although that was high, we also experienced some lows during our stint in Peoria, Arizona. When camp broke; despite Daniel's great spring training; he was reassigned back to Clinton Iowa to start this 2010 baseball season. We did feel disappointed in not being able to reach the goal of starting in the California League, but we know God has His hands on everything and is allowing Daniel to return back to Clinton for a reason. Because Daniel has a chance of being called up to California at any time, we decided it would be best for me to 'wait it out' at home in Cali in hopes for a call up. So I am home now in California and Daniel is in Clinton, Iowa. We've been apart for 1 week now; which has had it's moments of being hard; but overall we both are really feeling the Lord's strength and trusting in His plan. If Daniel hasn't been moved up within the month, I will most likely head out to Iowa to be with him.
Here's a link to a really great article posted in the Clinton Herald that pretty much sums everything up: http://clintonherald.com/sports/x1612527229/Carroll-hoping-for-better-luck-in-third-trip-to-Midwest-League
Back to some exciting news, Daniel really feels in his 'groove' again and has already hit 2 HOMERUNS in his first the two games he's played in so far. So we're so excited about that! All Glory,Honor,& Praise be to God! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1T0jjZ1TXE
