| on the road again! |
The offseason was soo good to us. We lived in Dallas with two roommates (MiLB life, y'all!) Dan and Nash, who were Cy's teammates at DBU and now play with the Indians and Blue Jays, respectively. We all had such a great time living together! Dan and Nash both have the sweetest girlfriends, so it was fun to all hang out. About a month before we left, our newlywed friends Drew and Kassie flew down to Dallas to get ready for spring training and stayed with us a bit too. It truly was SO fun having everyone together! PLUS my sister Haley was literally 4 minutes from us on campus at DBU, so we saw her pretty much every day- I couldn't ask for anything better!
Of course, by now you probably know that in November Cy got traded from the Brewers to the Astros! So that brought an exciting change to our life :) So far we are loving our new organization, and it seems to be a perfect fit for Cy.
I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Communication Theory in December, and started working as a personal assistant shortly thereafter. This job is absolutely fantastic because it is ALL ONLINE! My bosses live in Delaware and I do all of my work remotely. Perfection!
We spent Christmas with my family in Alaska, and it was wonderful. Christmas at home is so special for me! We had a good amount of snow, which is always fun. We got to participate in Bethlehem Revisited, which is a production my parents church puts on every other year. Everyone in the church dresses up and gets into character, and they set up a huge area outside that is made to look like the streets of Bethlehem at the time Jesus was born. The community loves it! We also got to spend time with my lifelong best friend Courtney, her fiancé Dawson, and their perfect little boy (my godson) Cohen. Living away from home gets exponentially harder when you become an auntie ;)

The next two weekends were dedicated to my college roommate & bestie Sedona's bachelorette party and wedding! I did Sedona's hair and makeup for her first date with Cash our freshman year, and it was so surreal to finally be doing it again for their WEDDING! It was so much fun celebrating with our besties, Sedona's day was a dream.

After getting back to our normal when the month of weddings quieted down, we only had about a month left of offseason and Cy started really getting down to business with his training and prep for the season. DBU baseball had their alumni game and opening weekend before we left, and it was so much fun getting to visit with all of our college baseball crew!
My brother and sister in law came to visit the weekend before we left, and we had SO much fun just hanging out and laughing together before we all head out in different directions for the season. Jamie, Kassie, and I made a super quick trip to Magnolia Market in Waco too!
All in all, our offseason was fantastic. And while it went by way too fast, I am so excited to get this next season rolling! We are in Kissimme, living with an INCREDIBLE host family, and excited to be making new friends with our new team. Cy is one of only a small handful ofpitchers invited to micro camp (super exciting!) and is enjoying it a lot, and full minor league camp will start on the 9th.
Thanks for bearing with my sporadic blogging in the offseason and keeping up with our wild life :)
kiss kiss, Hannah
