This weekend was long! We had another softball tournament, but it was here in Canyon. That was nice, because we didn't have to deal with traveling, hotels, and money to feed the girls. We ended up winning 1 of 6 games this weekend, and got run-ruled the rest. :-\ I'm hoping things can begin to go up. The girls are playing better, but there just always seems to be a bad inning or 2 that just crushes us and then suddenly the game is over. The other coach and I just try to keep our heads up and see the positive things on the field. We start district this week with what is probably the 2 top teams, Randal and Canyon. Two of our girls who are injured find out tomorrow if they get to come back in time for the first district game. I've been praying hard for them to be released because I know how much these 2 can make a difference. They both play with so much passion and love for the game that I think it will push everyone else to keep fighting.
Today was an okay day. This morning wasn't so great. I think I might have gotten the shower water too hot this morning because at one point I got a little dizzy and light-headed. It did not feel good at all! I had to lay down for a little bit when I got out and then felt funny all morning through Sunday school. I was able to take a nap after church though and felt much better after that. I went to a friend's baby shower this afternoon. She is having twins. She got a ton of neat stuff! Watching her open things and listening to the other coaches' wives by me say "Oh you definitely need one of those! Make sure you get that on your registry!" made me realize how little I know about babies and the things we'll need when the baby gets here!! haha I have no clue where to begin on registering for things! I do know that I have tons of new moms around me, though, and of course our own parents, to give us advice so I'm not TOO worried! I did start doing some reading, though, to make myself feel a little better. I've been going through the sack of stuff the nurse gave us on our first visit and learned a few things. :) I already feel better. I also talked to my friend, Amanda, and she reminded me that there is a reason God gives us 9 months to learn about babies so to take it slow! I'm glad God gave Joel and me the family and friends we have to help us through all of this! We do have a lot of great people to turn to during all of this and I'm so thankful for them!
Grandpa moved into the nursing home last week with Grandmother. I think it is a good thing and has been good for both of them. They've been in different places now for almost 2 years and they both have been so worried about each other. They get to share a room and be together all the time again now. I talked to Grandpa the night he moved in and he sounded better than I've heard him sound in a while...a lot happier. I talked to dad and he said he seems to be doing really well. Hopefully I get a chance to go visit them this summer and soon after the baby gets here! I know they're so excited to meet their first great-grandbaby!
Joel has still been busy with spring ball but that ends this week! :) They draft tomorrow night for their teams for the spring game, which is Thursday. Hopefully Joel brings home the win!! He said they've been practicing pretty good lately so I'm excited to see the game and how they look. He's been so good taking care of me and helping me lately. He cooks dinner and does the laundry and vacuums...he just helps so much! I'm so blessed to have such a great husband! I let him watch all the hunting shows he wants for that!! ;) haha It makes me have dreams about shooting bears and going on big hunts, but that's ok. We've been planning out our summer a little and so far it looks like this - - San Diego with dad early June, a visit from the Hinton in-laws and grandparents after that, Roaring River at the end of June, Colorado to see Jarrod and Michelle over 4th of July week, a trip to Waco and one of my best-friend's weddings mid-July, and hopefully at trip to Houston to see Grandmother and Grandpa. Dad is planning some trips up here and hopefully I'll be able to visit him in Austin that week I'm in Waco for the wedding. :) I hate being so far from family because we have to plan times together...hopefully one day we'll be back closer to all our family - - that means Jarrod and Michelle will have to move to Texas too! :)
Well..that's all for tonight! Have a great week!!
