Baseball and Arizona

This past weekend (Thursday - Sunday), I got to spend the weekend in sunny Phoenix, AZ to watch some baseball -- except, it wasn't that sunny. Walter and I traveled to AZ where we met up with our friends, the Romers. Keith Romer is the Assistant Coach of the Wheaton College baseball team and he and the fam were down there with the team. I stayed with Jess and the kids in one room and Walter and Keith shared another.

On Thursday, we got to watch Wheaton baseball beat Concordia College 22-4. The weather was perfect. On Friday, we headed to the World Baseball Classic game with the USA playing South Africa. USA won 17-0 and the game was called after the 5th inning by mercy rule. It was slightly cooler, but incredibly windy! Walter and I had tickets to the Cubs spring training game against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, but the game got rained out. The Phoenix area had gone 143 days without rain and it decided to rain ALL DAY when we were supposed to go to the Cubs game. Go figure! (Reminds me of my Spring Break in AZ my Senior year of high school). It was a bummer the game got rained out, but we had a wonderful time anyway.

It was great to spend time with Walter and hang out with Keith, Jess, and the kids. What a treat! I'm quite the lucky girl. I'll attach some pictures later!

I loved the pics Dana! How fun!! I didn't realize you were such a baseball fan (other than the Cubbies). Looked like you all had a blast. I'm so happy for you!
Love,

Forgiven and Free

I've come to the revelation that I don't love people (other than my family, which I love fiercely). I'm not trying to be funny and I'm not being mean. I care for people and I genuinely show love and care, but deep down in my sinful, deprived soul, I don't truly love people. Let me explain... I've been hurt a lot by friendships. Numerous times I have let my guard down and tried to be real, just to have those people walk away from me for no reason. So I've put up walls and guarded my heart. I'll share only what is safe, but I struggle to be vulnerable and real. Years ago I went to counseling to help me with being more vulnerable (and my perfectionist nature). I grew a lot and after about a year, I connected with my future husband and allowed my walls to come down. I praise the Lord for him and allowing me to be real. My husband is a gift from God, but I still struggle with my female friendships. Guy friendships always seem to be easier to me. Maybe it ...

We Have a Date!

The wedding date is set: Friday, March 2. I've already booked our church, our pastor, and the reception hall. Whew. I've been busy. Luckily, I already knew where I wanted the reception to be held and since I'm doing a Friday evening, it was easier to book the reception hall. My mom, Kara (my sister and matron-of-honor), and I are looking at dresses this Saturday. How fun! I already found one that I REALLY like online at David's Bridal. So, we are heading there first on Saturday. Jess bought me a wedding planning book -- wow! I had no idea that there were so many things to do! Plus, most people start almost a year in advance and I'm doing it in six months. Oh well. The work is well worth the short wait. So, how am I doing with posting so far? Look, Amanda, two blogs in one week! You must be proud of me. Still no pictures as Walter has been out of town and I don't have a camera. Hopefully, I will have some for you soon.

Engaging...

Well, maybe you should give up on me! :) Things are going well. My LASIK surgery was great and it is such a blessing to see without the help of glasses or contacts. I mean, I open my eyes in the morning and can see perfect! Yea! My friends threw Walter and me an engagement party this past Saturday. I was so much fun and we really felt loved and encouraged by our friends. What a treat! It was incredibly humbling. God has really blessed us with sojme amazing friends. I'm sure my sister has pictures posted on her blog, so use the Nate and Kara link to get to her blog. Don't know what to say about wedding plans. Still moving along...Still crazy about Walter and very impatient for March 2nd. :) I pray it comes soon!
