Is it September yet?

As I'm typing I cannot believe its the middle of July, and we only have about 8 weeks left of the season! Honestly this has been the FASTEST season ever!!!!!! I guess that is what happens with your having fun right? We have had some ups and downs, more ups but I will be glad once July is over! 


I came home unexpectedly back in June for a MUCH needed break from my baseball world. I hate flying so until someone flies with me (ahem mom-dad) I wont be returning to Texas..haha Sorry Jake! We are actually working on flights back at the end of the month-beg of August! Jake is only home 9 days or something in July, goes to Corpus Christi 3 times, so it only made sense to stay in Orlando and enjoy our family! We have had some very interesting-exciting stuff happen with our living situation in the off season! We are praying it all works out, and will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing to have our OWN place (can you tell i'm ready?!?!) I've only had our wedding gifts in boxes for over 2 years now, live like a gypsy, and moved over 9 times. YES I deserve something of our own, and no boogers from ballplayers except Jake :) ..Right now just waiting to see if it's the right time (approved).. it has happened so fast like I said who would have thought we would find a place in 48 hours! Prayers please that everything works out if it's meant to be! I am very excited, and has been a fun week dreaming!

Our roommate, Tyler Tufts a few weeks ago thought he got food poisoning so was really sick while Jake was traveling for All Star and our other roommate, Richard ended up taking him to the ER because he couldn't stop throwing up..With baseball you STILL travel the next day doesn't matter how sick you are, so the entire 5 hour bus trip Tufts threw up, and felt terrible.. He ended up not going into the field, and eventually went back to the Hospital because his gf forced him..He went into emergency surgery, and his intestines had a leak from his bowels! They said if he didn't come in that day there was a good chance he didn't make it through the night! He had surgery Thursday, and finally by Tuesday I think was the first time he had some solids. He is done with baseball this season, and went back home after a week in the hospital. He got home, and had to go back into the hospital for an infection or something (still waiting to find out details) It was soo scary, and I am so glad Ashley forced him to go in, and thank God he is alive!! :(


Jake has been doing well with his last few starts until last night! Last night he had a rough game, which is normal! Like i've said a million times before everyone has bad days at work, but these guys are super heros  so should be perfect, and how dare they have bad games! via twitter-haha. Last night it was just off, and thats okay! It's going to happen. There has been a lot of stress, trades, family--a good mixture of things on our minds this week.

All Star team-Grayson and the boys came to Tulsa!

Some of you are thinking trade deadline? Teams have to make their trade deadlines for the season by July 31. Yes there is always a good chance of us getting traded, teams call often about Jake along with all the other players too! Nothing is guaranteed, but we more than likely will not get traded. We are just praying that we will be exactly where God wants us to be, and focus on today! Easier said than done, I still will worry! 


That's all for now! I hope everyone is having a safe fun summer!!
