1 down 5 to go!

Yesterday signified the ending of week 1 of Spring Training! Very exciting I know! Jess now has 5 weeks left. I cant even believe that is all that is left until the season is actually underway! I searched high and low for some pictures of them training but couldnt find any of Jess. I really didnt find any pictures of the team, there were only a handful and they were all of the "Veterans" of the team. Hopefully this week will bring more pictures because if not Im going to have to show up at practice and take my own! Im kidding, Im kidding I wouldnt do that....Or would I? No! I wouldnt! Games start on Sunday against the Reds and I couldnt be more excited! I know Jess is so ready too! 

Tonight we have couples Bible Study at a church up the street. It is held for the Reds, Indians, Rangers, Mariners and I think one other team but I cant remember which one. Chris wont be there tonight but he said he will for sure come next week. Im excited to go, I get to use my new Bible Jess gave me for Christmas and it kind of helps me distress from a little anxiety. Ive been good about my anxious-ness so far but as each day passes I feel it creeping up behind me like a Lion waiting to pounce on me. I try to stay busy as the feeling gets stronger. I already finished my whole Wellness class and only have half of my Micro class left to do. Going to Bible Study reminds me that Im not in control God is and he puts what is supposed to be in our lives in it so dont worry about it! I also think going to Bible Study together as a couple is good for us. The man that leads it is said to be one of the BEST leaders around. When they sent the email out about the study and who was leading it a lot of people replied with "Im so happy he is leading it! He is so great!" or "If I could carry one person in my pocket it would be him!" So he sounds pretty knowledgable and I look forward to learning from him. Some of Jess' other teammates will be there as well. One of them in particular is Matt LaPorta. I love his wife, she is so sweet and I cant wait to see her. She is pregnant and Im sure she is just glowing! 

We are going to do dinner here at the hotel tonight because after Bible Study we are going to go get some Frozen Yogurt. Frozen Yogurt is the fad out here, its a West Coast thing I guess you could say. You dont go out for Ice Cream you go out for Fro-Yo (thats the West Coast lingo for Frozen Yogurt, Im sure you knew that but I just wanted to make sure.) We love getting it because what you do is pick the flavor you want then put which ever toppings you want on top. Toppings range from cookies, sprinkles, different fruits, candies, chocolate chips I mean all kinds of varieties to chose from. You pay for it by how many ounces you buy. I will post pics of our Fro-Yo's so you can see how creative we get. Talk to yall later....

P.S.
Happy Presidents Day!

Love,
