Ahhh..I'm in a stretch of night shifts right now! You're probably not gonna hear a lot from me in the next few days, but I wanted to update everyone on Patrick's status. There were a few roster moves this week, and Patrick is now expected to begin the season in CA. Although we would have been very thrilled to see him go to Double A in Midland, we get to be near each other and we are THRILLED about that! I am anxiously awaiting for March 31st, when he gets back!! Finally, some baseball games that I actually get to go to! Last year was quite a bit different with me flying back and forth to California and only getting to visit 3 times in a 6 month period. I have been so blessed by a job that lets me go anywhere I want to!
So,needless to say, I feel like jumping up and down everyday because it's one day closer to being with Patrick. Opening day is April 3rd, so be prepared for plenty of updates on how the season is progressing!

spending time with the fam..
So, Mom and Dad are here and we've been spending the last couple of days making our way around northern California. Today, we went to San Francisco. It was great. We had clam chowder breadbowls for lunch..and if you've never had one of these, you are truly missing out on one of life's delicasies. From there, we took a ride on the cable car up to China town. Latisha(the friend that came out here with us) was with us, and she is always amazed by how you really feel like you are in China. We would really love to try out a restaraunt there,but you really don't know what you're getting since all of the menus are in Chinese (go figure). We moved on from China town to a lovely trek up to Coit Tower (mom and dad huffing and puffing all the way :) We went from there to the Golden Gate Bridge, which never ceases to be an amazing site.
Needless to say, it was a wonderful day. The only thing that could have possibly made it better was if Patrick could have shared it with us :( We're still waiting to find out where he will end up for the start of the season. Everyday, when we talk, I'm waiting for some news..but it hasn't come yet. Baseball season starts very soon..and I'm ready for some games!!

A quick update...
Hello everybody!! Just wanted to give a little update about what we are up to over here on the west coast.
For those of you who don't know, Patrick is continuing his career in baseball this year. He was drafted by the Oakland A's in 2006 and has played in Vancouver,BC, Kane County, IL, and Stockton, CA. He ended the season in Stockton last year. He is currently at spring training in Scottsdale, AZ until the end of the month. This month has proved to be a great one for him. He has had a few appearances pitching and has done very well. He's actually on the preliminary roster to go Midland, TX! We are very pleased with this, seeing as it is the next step up for his career. We will continue to keep you updated in the next week of what is happening and hopefully we will know for sure where he will be for the start of the 2008 season.
Holly is also traveling this year, but as a traveling nurse. She is currently in Manteca, CA, which is right outside of Stockton. We were kind of thinking Patrick would start the season in Stockton, so this made sense...however, now, since Patrick has been doing so well, we don't really know?? If you keep up with this blog, you will quickly understand how unpredictable minor league baseball really is! Holly is really learning how to "go with the flow". Anyway, Holly is continuing to work as a labor and delivery nurse and is still loving it as much as she did the very first day she started!
So, even with all of the craziness of traveling, we are in the midst of planning a wedding. We are getting married December 13,2008 and could not be more excited! It is going to be so wonderful being husband and wife! We will also be keeping you updated about all of the plans surrounding the wedding. We have a lot of things planned already and know that it is going to be a very fun time.
So, stay tuned! Holly will be doing most of the updates seeing as Patrick's schedule is a wee bit crazy! We are very excited about the next year to come.
