Baseball is something that isn't just a sport, its our life. It doesn't matter how much I try to explain it until I'm blue in the face people will never understand unless they are in it. It has been a blessing as well as very stressful at times, but I am thankful for the people we have met during our journey. The unknown of it is something I deal with daily and try to remember I have to trust in God, and everything happens for a reason<--If only I could remember this! Our friends, Robbie and Brittany heard about Grayson and wanted to get involved! They are the sweetest couple, and although I recently just met Britt in spring training I appreciate her huge heart! They broke camp in the big leagues so many of you if watching any of the Ranger's game have probably seen Ross (usually in a cowgirl hat & backpack) ha, he is doing awesome this year too!! They came up to the hospital on their day off to visit the Hughes, and it meant the world to them! They also brought a signed ball from his favorite Ranger play: Josh Hamilton! Talk about making a kid's day or what?! 

We are working hard at trying to do some stuff for the Hughes. We have hit a few bumps, but I can't wait to see what we can get done for this amazing family! I am so thankful to have supportive family & friends..especially my parents! I was so excited to call my mom and tell her some of my ideas, and immediately they wanted to get involved. I am grateful to have amazing examples from both of our parents to show us you can NEVER out give God. The Hughes are deserving of anything that comes their way, and it has been an honor for us to get to know them and have them as friends! I am so glad they got to come out again to watch Jake pitch! We also had the Murray, Taylor, & Mayberry families come to see him last saturday (huge fan club cheering Jake on!) I was so disappointed since it was a sold out game I didn't get to sit with any of them, but knowing they were at the game was awesome. I can't begin to tell you how far back our families go!!! They live only about 15 minutes from us, so we all got together for dinner on our one off night for them to get to know Jake and was a blast to see some familiar faces! :)

So onto some other news..Since Jake and I don't get enough baseball when we get home from the game (around 10:30 pm) we of course have to turn on the another game..We were watching the Ranger game, I was on my phone (like usual) Jake doing who knows what, and all of a sudden I heard Jake's voice on the tv!! It caught me off guard more than anything, I looked up and saw a flash of Jake! It was a commercial that Jake had recorded at the beginning of the year!! We had NO IDEA this would be aired on the Ranger vs Angels MLB game!! We started freaking out, my phone started blowing up "was that just Jake on tv?!" It was so cool/weird/exciting!!!!! So of course I recorded it to show our families, and it gave me the chills! 

Jake played in the Roughrider golf tournament on Tuesday and his team won! I know he would want me to share that with you all! lol

happy boys!

I started making some "G Force" wine glasses for an upcoming event the family is having, but thought I could also sell them on esty and give a portion of my profit to help the family!

Jake pitches tomorrow night! Hopefully he has a good outing! Until then..we miss everyone a lot and hope everyone is doing great!! Thank you for keeping up with our life on this! I know that many of you love keeping up with Jake and his career! :)
