Life has been good to me lately. I have worked one 9 game homestand so far and we're gearing up for our second, which is just a mere 8 games. I absolutely love game days. A normal 8:30a-5:30p office day goes by so freakin' slowly to me when the team is on the road. But I love my down time, too.
I've been so lucky to be able to live in New Jersey and now North Carolina in just a year. I have met some people who have legitimately touched my life and even though I was only with them for nine months, I know I'll keep in touch with them forever. I've realized the past couple months I've grown apart from some people who I considered great friends. Sometimes when I actually stop to breathe and think about it, I get really sad and my heart still aches a little, but I suppose that's life. The people who are supposed to be there will be.
It just recently just hit me about how blessed I've been to be able to work in baseball and live in such a gorgeous city. If you've never been to Asheville, I'd suggest come for a visit. It's such a unique place and there is SO much to do. I have been exploring and doing things I never thought I would. This last weekend I went to Lake Lure which is where Dirty Dancing was filmed then we climbed up Chimney Rock, which is where Last of the Mohicans was filmed. I'm only here for who knows how long so I'm going to take advantage of it.

Since we've had so much down time, we've been going a little crazy in the office lately. Lots and lots of pictures of poop have graced the background of my computer. Lots of fantasy baseball checking (I'm in first place, bitches) and stretched out lunches. Our homestand starts on Cinco de Mayo, a Thirsty Thursday, so I imagine it's going to be an interesting night. I'm sure I'll have some good stories by the weekend and if you're lucky, I might share them.
