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.
