![]() Boy, was I wrong!! Isn’t it crazy how you can direct your focus so much toward only a couple ideas that you shut off the infinite number of possibilities in this universe? Last Thursday I thought FOR SURE we would find out that Logan would be breaking camp with the Orioles. Then I got a lunchtime phone call telling me he had been picked up by the Rangers! “Uhhh… what does that mean?” – said me. Oh, so you’re coming home to live with me and our dog and playing for our hometown team? Right. Totally. Exactly what I expected. But actually not even close to being on my radar for potential opportunities in our near future. Living a dream.

![]() I know it’s coming down to the wire. I had one of my anxiety-attacks last night, where my body shuts down and I puke all night because even if my mind is in the right place (God has a plan for us!) my stomach gets tied up in knots and my body doesn’t know how to react. As I stumble into the office, Gatorade and Dr.Pepper in hand, I check our bank account and watch the mortgage, car payments, bills, … ya know, first of the month things … withdraw from our account, I’m reminded of how God has provided for us over the past two plus years of marriage. I suppose it’s impolite to address money in a super public setting such as this, but it’s what makes the world the go round. It’s what we give in exchange for the best training in the DFW area. It’s what we give in exchange for a last minute flight to [name random town in the US that has a minor league team and you have to make 3 connections to get to your final destination] because we want to be together, even if only for a couple days. Not only that, but it’s what’s given to us in exchange for hard work and dedication. Over the past few years, more money has left our accounts than come in, or though it seems. The ultimate dream is to make enough to be able to spend as much time together as we want. More than money, we have been chasing a dream for as long as I've known Logan. More specifically, I’ve been watching my dream chase his dream. Over the next four [4!!] days we will be finding out if this will come true and if he will make the BREAK CAMP with the Orioles and have a spot on their ‘Opening Day Roster’ -- making step one of the big league dream come true: Making his Major League Debut!! The crew took a trip to Spring Training once again. This time in Sarasota! The weather was amazing and the complex is conveniently close to the ocean. :) As usual, Logan and I spent Valentine's Day loving each moment knowing it was the last day we'd have together before he was off for another season of baseball. This year we went to downtown Fort Worth's
Rahr & Son's Brewing Company for a few hours before going home to order pizza and pack. We had SO much fun this past weekend at Orioles Fan Fest!
Over 16,000 fans gathered to see the players, get autographs, and play games. We flew in Friday morning and took a walk to the Camden Yards for lunch. That evening we got to meet the players, their wives and the staff/coaches at Casino Night. My parents just so happened to be right next door at the Convention Center for the Baltimore Boat Show, making it even more fun to share the event with them! We hope to return soon when the season starts! Only a couple more weeks until Spring Training -- EEK! |
