The last few weeks has been crazy for us! My sister, Lynsay and nephew came to visit us for a few days and the next day my dad came in for a week! We had so much fun, and was nice to see some familiar faces in Arizona!
This was the first time my dad had seen a spring training facility and games, that was a lot of fun getting to show him around the stadium, and get to go watch some games! We went to the Dodgers vs Rangers big league game in Glendale one night and let me just say....It was weird sitting at a game with Jake! I am used to him always being on the field, or in the stands across the stadium from me! We had a lot of fun, and so glad my dad got to experience what my life is like out here!
Jake pitched in two more games (minor league) and did very well! He has been pitching on the AA and AAA sides, and is a good thing! We still have not heard where we are going yet (so frustrating since we are leaving next week!)
We have a good idea of where we are going from a few hints from some people, but still not sure if it is Frisco (AA) or Myrtle Beach (High A) I went ahead and reserved a apartment today because there was only one available in this town and was scared of going through what we went through when we first arrived in Surprise, and the first season Jake was in Hickory a few years ago (HOMELESS!)
This week Jake's brothers, Ryan & Bart will go pack up the trailer at my parents house for us (we greatly appreciate it) and my parents are on stand by to leave at the end of the week!! We are so thankful for an amazing support system we have, and having family willing to drive potentially 18 hours for us with our personal things! I am sooo excited to see them, and celebrate my birthday next week in a new city!!
As for here, well.... I NEED TO START PACKING ASAP!! I brought way too much stuff, and need to start getting it organized and packed up by Tuesday. We could be leaving anywhere from Wednesday-Saturday depending on if Jake plays in the exhibition games!
Once we find out where we are going, I will post it and let everyone know, but for now we have no idea and are living the dream of the unknowns!
We just found out we are going to Arkansas! I hope they tell you soon :) Sounds like you had a great time in AZ.. I am thinking I need to go the whole time next season :)! Have a safe trip & good luck this season!!
