Baseball season is just around the corner!

2011 has finally come which means a lot of new changes for the Brigham family!

 I am officially a COLLEGE GRADUATE with my degree in Fashion Merchandising and Design! It feels amazing to complete a long dream of mine, and not having to do long distance with Jake anymore!!

I can’t believe it is right around the corner, that Jake and I will be packing our stuff up, and leaving for Spring Training in Surprise, AZ! There are so many things we are looking forward to this season. Jake is ready to get back out on the mound, having his “daily routines,” and being apart of his baseball family. I am starting to organize and get ready for our baseball home, wherever that may be this year.

We leave on February 15 and fly out to Arizona for 6 weeks of spring training..

You can only imagine all that we have on our minds, getting prepared for this season. Starting to prepare is very hard, since I don’t know what to expect yet. Although, I understand the lifestyle, games every single night, long days at the field, and then eating dinner at 11 p.m every night. I’ll be waking up doing the same exact thing the next day. It is very different when you are living it on a daily basis for 7 months.

 I have to have an organized system, so that I am prepared for anything! We are only packing up my car with our needs (my clothes and shoes of course!) We will be having it shipped to Arizona! I then have to have a second set of boxes all ready to go that will be brought out in a trailer with our things for our place during the season. It is pretty hard knowing what to expect during the next 7 months, but I am so excited to be going with Jake this year, and being a “Baseball wife!” We have rented a home in Arizona from a friend, Jake knows out there and looking forward to settling for 6 weeks starting in February for Spring Training which begins in March.

It will be so hard to say goodbye to our loved ones back in Orlando while starting a new chapter in our life of being a baseball family! At the end of the day we will always have each other and know that God is in control of every situation He puts us in! He will only give us what we can handle!
