The season is over, and we are back in what we call the "real world." I have had many people ask us (me) what we will be doing during the off season.. "What are your plans? Living situation, is baseball completely out of your life for 5 months?"
Jake and I got home Monday morning around 3 am. It took us 22 hours to drive from Frisco to Orlando! We had a trailer that we had to pull so took longer than usual! We were able to fit everything in our trailer, and have enough room in our car to be comfortable! When we drove from Arizona to Frisco we had no room at all! We had to hold Sophie (our dog) on the passenger seat!! It was terrible! Sophie flew home with my parents, and stayed over at the Brigham's so we didn't have to worry about her being stuck in the back of the car for days! On Saturday the game took a dive in the first inning..We still had basics out like a mattress in our guest bedroom, food, kitchen stuff.
We will be living with my parents like we did after we got married last year..with how short of a time we will be home, it is very hard to find apartments, and they don't do month to month in Orlando (or very hard to come by from previous off seasons!) plus..we all know what Jake and I make a month in minor leagues is terrible, so it's great to try to build our savings back up a bit for next season.. As of right now we are
STILL waiting to hear back about Dominican..It has been such a slow process.. Jake is thinking they would want him to go over there for about a month to get some innings in. I plan on going with him if it is to the Dominican Republic..It is safe enough. This has really held us up on work in Orlando. I am trying to babysit/nanny for a job like I did in Frisco since we will be moving in February. As of right now I have not had any luck finding good families, but am busy with the warehouse. Jake plans on interpreting for deaf people, and pitching lessons, until we know more about the DR, we are working over at my dad's warehouse selling lots of antiques, and stage home items. Jake is also working out, and preparing for winter ball.

I will keep everyone updated about winter ball, and a few things that go on during the off season with us! Until then, thank you for reading and getting to see inside our crazy journey we like to call baseball!
