Baseball is Back

Baseball season is back! This year we are playing again with North Wake Baseball and we are on the Yankees!

Blake has really developed his baseball skills. Last year he struck out almost every time and he had a really hard time batting. This year he has been killing it! He has done really well in practice and in scrimmages.

During one scrimmage he played first base. I got so nervous because that is a very "advanced" position and I was worried he was going to fail. Shame on me for thinking that! He got 2 players out at first base and even the 8 year olds said "Wow! Blake is good!. I LOVED seeing him and hearing his team brag on him. He did wonderful!

This is such a great start to the season and I can't wait to see how he does! Their first game is on Thursday. Not sure I would ever say this but, Go Yankees!!!

Hello 33

Oh my goodness.... I am 33. Yikes!!!

For many people they freak out at their 30th or 40th bday - for me it's 33!!! I am not totally sure why, but this is the birthday in which I feel like my biological clock is ticking and some crazy life countdown is on! Haha. That is ridiculous and I know I have plenty of time, but for some reason 33 is taking some time for me to get used to.

No matter what my hesitations are, I can't deny that my friends and family made me feel extra loved!! I am so grateful for them and all that they give me. I am also trying to wrap my head around the fact that 33 will be what I make it - so I am going to make it a great year!

Rolesville Hunger Initiative

One of my New Years Resolutions for my little family was to do a few service opportunities. Thankfully Blake and I were able to participate in the Rolesville Hunger Initiative!

We came together with a bunch of people to package meals that would be sent to feed children in poverty stricken areas across the world. It also encourages children to get an education because they have to go to school in order to get the meals.

Blake and I had some jobs to do with a few other ladies in which we scooped rice, dried vegetables, and vitamin packs into packages. Overall the whole effort packaged thousands of meals! It was amazing. And most importantly, Blake got to see that not everyone is as privileged as we are and he was able to learn what service is! I am so proud of him!
