he's chasing dreams hitting seams.
she's chasing dreams talking sports.
There are around 10 days left of spring training. And yesterday that fact finally hit me, and I had a mini panic attack. We've been in Arizona for six months which is a very long time for us to be in one place. Besides visiting Tennessee for Christmas, Matt going to Georgia and a short trip to California we haven't left Arizona during those six months. We've loved it here, but we're both ready to get baseball season going again. But with that comes the stresses of moving. Plus the stress of we still haven't heard officially where Matt is starting the season. So no, we still don't know where we're heading. And no we don't have a place to live yet. And no I haven't even started packing yet. People that don't understand the baseball life cannot wrap their heads around that whole we're-moving-in-two-weeks-but-have-no-idea-where-we're-going-to-be-moving thing. It is difficult, but we've learned to just go with it. I've called the apartment we stayed at in Tulsa, and they will have units available. And I've called a couple places in Oklahoma City that will have units available. Last spring training, Matt already knew where he was going by this point. His first spring training (2016) he didn't find out where he was going until two days before camp was over. I don't have a very good reason to share as to why they wait so long or when they tell the guys. The Dodgers have several new people in place so I think they're trying to get all the marbles in place if ya know what I mean. Also there are a ton of guys in camp so they're going to be making a lot of releases soon. They have to evaluate the newer guys and all of those things. And I know there are a lot of guys to assign to teams but for guys like Matt they know where they're going to send them so I wish they would just confirm. So for now, I'm trying to get as much in the works as possible for Tulsa and Oklahoma City for when we do know. And trying to figure out if we want to get a small U-Haul and take the little furniture we have with us. Just the usual. Matt was sent back to minor league camp a little over a week ago. He has a minor injury (muscle strain) that has kept him from playing games. But the past two days he's played defense and been swinging off the tee. Everything should be all good; just taking it slow. I gave his stats while at BLC at the end of this post. So just keep Matt in your prayers that he's 100% by the end of camp, and pray for my sanity (and all the other baseball families) as we wait to get our team assignment and move out and in! Stay tuned for the madness coming!

The only advice I can offer is to be sure your bumper is strong enough for the weight of the Uhaul. We lost the bumper for our Mustang convertible in the mountains of Northern California. Best wishes for this coming season.

Best wishes to you both! I know a little about ," I know we are moving, but I don't know where." Thing, but we did know there were limited possibilities in the submarine community. I will be thinking of you and praying for that 100%.
