Playing catch up

Have I ever told you that baseball can sense when you are starting to get too comfortable? And when you make any sort of solid, definite plans... You better bet something is going to happen.

I decided that in August, I was going to travel to a few away series with the team. First I went to Reading, Pennsylvania for a weekend. The baseball ladies in Reading are great. SO great. I was the only girl from our team at this series, and within 2 innings of the first game I was "adopted" for the weekend by opposing teams girlfriends/wives, going out for pre-game dinner and drinks, and riding to the game with them. I have met so many amazing girls through this sport.

Then AJ's little brother came to visit for a week. Luke and I traveled to Binghamton, New York for a weekend series. 

And then... AJ got moved to Fort Myers. 

So I packed up our life into a few boxes, played life size Tetris in the back of our SUV, and drove 21 hours back to Minnesota. Luke was still there visiting, so I had a driving buddy. I should also probably mention that we spotted 38 of the 50 license plates along the way (there's an app for that).

I was in Minnesota for a total of 1.5 days and am off to Florida for two weeks. The regular season ends September 2nd but the Fort Myers Miracle will be going to playoffs. I am excited to be back with some of our good friends down in Florida and to watch the Miracle do work in playoffs!
