here's what's happenin

So ladies and gents:
This is my final week in California for this baseball season. It's crazy how this season has gone by so quickly! Patrick will be spending about another month out here and then heading back to NC. It will be so nice to be back with our families and friends. I'm already planning on when to see everyone! However, I'm planning on being very busy with work through the next few months so that we can be saving for our wedding a little more. I officially start a job at UNC on August 11th. It's gonna be wonderful because I'll be working with a lot of close friends. I'm also going to continue working for the Women's Birth and Wellness Center in Chapel Hill because I LOVE IT! It's so awesome getting to be part of births that are completely and totally natural! Wonderful, wonderful place! The wedding planning continues to go smoothly. I can't wait! Well, I'm off to the gym (so that I can fit into that wedding dress!) I'll be posting from NC very soon.

"rollin', rollin'...."

Hola to everyone! Just got back today from a roadtrip down to Lancaster,CA. We were there for a few days, then traveled to Bakersfield for another stretch of games. I, however, had to come back to Stockton because I have an interview for a per diem job tomorrow! Yay!
We had a lovely 4th of July (obviously spent at the ballpark). The fireworks were very nice and I met some interesting people. We've gotten a lot accomplished lately with the wedding. We even booked our honeymoon! So exciting! I just got everything together today for all the invitation stuff. Things are moving along smoothly! Five months to go!

Holy cow!

So whoa! The past two weeks have been absolutely insane. It's all living the minor league baseball life!! So here we go....
Monday, June 23rd Patrick called me around 4pm and said that I needed to pack up all of our stuff because we were driving back to Stockton, CA. Fortunately, we actually got to drive, because on a typical day Patrick would've had to be there the next day and have to catch a flight out very quickly. However, it was all-star break and the Stockton team had 2 days off. Thank goodness I didn't have to make that drive by myself.
So, we left at 8pm and drove all night to Las Vegas (we didn't win any money), but we did have a great time. Wed. we finished the drive to Stockton.
I have to say that we were both a bit disappointed to be moving back down to Stockton, but both realize that this is just God's way of shaking up our plans. This is obviously where we are supposed to be right now. My job in Midland is still open so that when we go back (hopefully soon), I'll go right back to work.
Patrick is doing very well here, and just working on getting back to where he was 2 months ago. Baseball is really a roller-coaster ride.
Currently, we are in Lancaster, CA (about an hour outside of LA) on a road trip. I'm sitting here listening to Patrick and his friend argue about how one has a better baseball card collection than the other one. How old are we?? Anyway, I'm outta here, but thought I'd let everyone know what the heck is going on!! Take care!
