Hello! We hope that you all had a safe and happy 4th of July!!!
....Our latest adventure started on Saturday the 4th- Ava and i flew to Memphis got in around 12am!! (by going to Memphis, we missed out on 2 fun BBQ's we were invited to..boo!) Anyways, we got there; to the apt where Brian was staying and had a not-so-great nights sleep on a blow up bed!! Brian had a 1 pm game, so he left early and ava and i got up around 11!! (remember its only 9 az time)! I contemplated going grocery shopping, but figured one day of eating junk was fine with me, so we headed to the ball game for some cotton candy and pizza! yummy!! While at the game, i met some new girls, caught up with some old ones and planned our next week of working out together at the Y!
After the game, we planned on eating dinner with our friend Mark, a pitcher who was in town with the visiting team....BBQ sounded great and I had been wanting to try the Neely's restaurant!
I texted Brian and reminded him to add me to the work out list for the Y and to also see where he wanted to eat dinner.. he wrote back asap and said he was going back to the bigs!!! YAY! Guess dinner was canceled-
I will take that news to eating at the Neely's any day!!
So, we went back to the apt, packed the car and got on the road- made it to our now empty apt (we smart ones shipped all of our stuff back to Tucson 2 weeks ago) around 11pm and tried to get settled back in!!
Thank God Ava is so adaptable and such a great little gal! It didn't even phase her to sleep in the third different bed in 3 days!
So, after a couple LONG days, we are settling in! Got some groceries, but not too much and are trying to make the most of our time here! I really believe that God answered some prayers- he knows how much i dislike Memphis! :)
Now, since I had only planned on visiting Memphis for a week, we have to see how long Ava and I can get by on 7 changes of clothes!!!! (that's the least of our worries)!
Thank you Jesus for:
-Watching over us while we travel and
making sure we get there safe
-Allowing Brian to get recalled
-Saving me from grocery shopping
in Memphis
Hope you have a great week- We are off to Chicago on Thursday and are staying til Monday!!

That is AWESOME!! I love the story and the unexpected! Have a blast in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI will keep my fingers crossed that you will get tired of wearing the same clothes and come home to get some more ;)
Have TONS of fun, give Aveeeeee kisses from us!
I'm so happy for you guys. I'm glad it all worked out. Have fun in Chicago. Go shopping:) Get some new clothes:)
ReplyDeleteOh, yay!!! This is awesome...no more stinky Memphis! Maybe you chould have gotten there sooner and he would have been called up then, huh??? ha! Have fun in Chicago! Love ya'll!
ReplyDeleteYay! Enjoy every minute and don't worry about the clothes. :) Trust me, you can get by on a weeks worth of stuff for a long time...I've been doing it for a month and Mark's had the same one suitcase of clothes since spring training. Gotta love baseball!
ReplyDeleteLove this story! It's so typical of days in baseball. :) It sounds funny, but appreciate beign forced to rely on the Lord for even the smallest details. That's harder to do when life gets more settled. I admire all you girls so much for the way you love and support your men in pursuing their dreams. And we love sharing your joys from afar!
ReplyDeleteMiss you guys tons. :( I'm hoping he'll still be up by the time they come back to Cincy and that you won't be sick of traveling by then. You're always welcome in my city!
