Finally getting around to blog again! We've been so busy lately that I've barely had time to just sit down, relax and write down what's been happening with us this past month.
As I write now, I am currently sitting on the rocker swing in the backyard of the house we've been living at. It's probably about 80 out and the sun is getting ready to set. There is a nearby park and I can hear the sound of people laughing and playing in the distance. Pixie is cuddled up next to my leg and I got a nice glass of ice cold lemonade.....This is what I call relaxation. All that's missing is sand in my feet and ocean waves, but for now, I'll settle for the clear water of the pool right in front of me.
Where do I begin? This last month has literally flown by for us! We arrived out here to Arizona a few weeks ago for spring training and have been pretty non stop since. Every day has consisted of baseball games. I drop Daniel off at the field about 7 each morning. In past spring trainings, I've gotten a job. But since our time out here was so short this year I wasn't able to. So my mornings have consisted of catching up with my baseball girls that I haven't seen in awhile. It's been really nice. We've also have had many friends and family coming in and out of town, which has been a total blessing as well.
Baseball wise, Daniel has been doing really well and is feeling healthy. Praise the Lord! He got called up to 3 big league games this spring and got to play in one against the Rockies the other day. He went into centerfield in the bottom of the 6th and got 2 at bats. The game was featured on the MLB network that night, so it was exciting for us to watch it and see him on there. He had a blast and we are so grateful for the experience and opportunity.
Camp breaks this Sunday and all is looking good for us to be starting the season in the California League with the High Desert Mavericks. Daniel played there for a lil while in 2008 and finished the season with the team last year, so we're excited to head back and be close to home. Looking forward to having lots of friends and family at the games cheering him on! :) We're taking it day by day and are so grateful and feel so blessed that Daniel is getting to do what he loves. We're also so grateful that I'm able to travel with him while we're on this adventure.
We head out Monday for the 5 hour drive to Adelanto. The Lord is so good and provided a job for me already working in the office at the Mavericks Stadium. We're excited for what the Lord has planned for us this 2011 season. I'll be sure to post along the journey.

Dance Time
Some really exciting things have recently come up in our lives so we felt it'd only be best to share it with all of you:
1. We've been working on and perfecting our dance moves
2. We've gotten so good that 'Soul Train' called us up and asked us to be featured on their show
3. We concluded together that BIG HAIR always makes our dancing look even greater, so we decided to grow out our hair and got perms
4. Oh, and all our skin on our body except for our faces turned black!
CHECK IT OUT!

Here we go again!
It is officially the time of year again when we pack up our life into suitcases and stuff our car to it's full capacity and head to Arizona for spring training!
Pixie was ready to go. She loves car rides. And yes, she has a cat house. Haha. But she loves it. I call it her "dog cave". We arrived out here to sunny beautiful Arizona last week. The drive was great. Daniel and I both agreed we felt like it was one of our easiest drives ever. We are very blessed to only live about 4 1/2 hours from where Daniel has spring training here in Peoria so we got this drive down like the back of our hands.
It's been really nice and relaxing out here. We're living with an amazing host family about a mile from the field that have taken us in with open arms and have been so hospitable and sweet. We met them last year through a bible study we attend out here in Arizona. I got a call from the woman, Dee, about a week before we were gonna head out offering to let us stay with them. It's working out great and the Lord ALWAYS provides! We are so thankful! They actually left this past week for a missions trip to build houses in Mexico so we've been house sitting for them, which has worked out really nice. We've been enjoying our down time together after Daniel gets home from the field and have just been soaking this time up.
Daniel has been heading to the field early everyday. He is feeling great and healthy. He gets so excited to play and it brings me so much joy seeing him getting to do what he loves. We're taking it day by day and are both excited for what God has in store for us. We are rejoicing in the Lord's peace and trusting in His will for whatever is in store for us next. I just feel so blessed and honored to be on this journey with Daniel. He makes me so proud (on and off the field).
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."
