I guess I am not so good at doing this blogging thing!  It has been a while!

Here we are at mid-September and my life is in the roller coaster face first dive into the post season...or not!  As a wife with a hubby in a professional sport you have such mixed emotion this time of year, excitement for more and disappointment for more. Some wives are not too excited about the season and the time away from each other during the regular season, and the post season only brings on more issues...then there are those who LOVE the game and enjoy the games and the atmosphere, especially in the post season.  Guess where I land.

I was the weird teenager that would get dropped off at the local ballpark to watch all different levels of games being played.  I would sit and watch the intricacy of the game...not always knowing what was going on...but definitely intrigued by the many plays that would happen within the time of the game.  Being one who welcomed the chatter of the older farmers that attended the games, I would always be joined on the top concrete seating by a few that loved to talk the game.  The men would argue and yell and cheer all for the same play.  This, many times confused me but definitely amused me.  I learned to not like umpires and question coaches while also learning a few new words that were combined to sound like poetry at times.  The southern slang and phrases were plentiful among the cursing!  Oh how I loved the game and the atmosphere!!!

Little did I know the way God gives us experiences in our lives that set us up for the future.  Although there was no time in my young life that gave me any clue to the life I would live as an adult, looking back now it seems so simple.  Growing up in a small town in Eastern North Carolina on a farm, I believed I was doomed to stay there.  There was no desire to stay there and live that simple life.
However now, the simple life is what I long for now!!  There is little simple to our lives!!  But I do love it!

So to the craziness I go...watching games...shielding my eyes when things aren't going good...turning the channel when we lose a lead...screaming as we take a lead...sitting at home alone while the teenager is living his life...waiting to see the hubby when we are blessed to be able to spend time together!
