Close Call....

Happy Tuesday Y'all!

Today marks exactly 13 days left of camp. Seems like we just got here (probably because we did) but our time here is now dwindling down. We are already back in baseball mode which consists of not knowing what day of the week it is, watching ESPN 24/7 and keeping up with the latest transactions and rumors online. Fridays always feel like Sundays to me but inevitably Mondays are always Mondays! Yesterday was a "Monday" for Jess. As he was shagging balls during batting practice a batter hit a line drive. As another player yelled "Heads up! Heads up!" Jess ducked behind the screen but left enough of his right arm out from the protection screen and was hit. As crazy as it seems out of all places the line drive could have hit him, the estimated 100 mph ball hit him right square on the bottom part of his right forearm/elbow. It hit him so hard that he walked in circles because he felt like he was going to throw up. The trainer then came out there to make sure he was ok. He felt of Jess' arm and determined it was not broken but that he needed to go in and get treatment immediately. They put some type of suction device on him and propped his arm up like the kid in Rookie of the Year. Jess said they were all calling him Rosenheimer or whatever the kid in the movie's name is because he looked just like him. I am so happy they could all joke about it seeing as that if I were there I probably would have fainted :) You know how it goes, no one can hurt your baby and if they do mama bear is ready to rock and roll! Jess came home and slept for a couple of hours because I think the situation stressed him out. We all anticipated him being very stiff and sore this morning but praise God it wasn't that bad. He was able to throw a bullpen and he said it was actually a good one even though he had just been pelted by a line drive yesterday. 

Other than that little hiccup the week has started out great. School started back up yesterday (which Im not over the moon about, but Im almost done) and we have a lot of things that are going to keep us busy during the rest of our time here. 

Friday the Hunger Games come out and we are going on a double date with another couple to see it. It is Jess and the other guy's way of having to sit through a movie they know nothing about with someone who dips. Can we say EWW? 

I hope y'all enjoyed the first day of Spring today! 

Talk to y'all soon!

Love,
E
