<br />
“How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” 1 John 3:1<br />
<br />
I knew the transition to my first season of life on the road as a newlywed would be hard. I assumed all of the packing and moving and lack of permanence would be stressful. What I didn’t expect was the mini identity crisis what would come with transitioning from a busy college life to the “stay at home wife” role. I found myself bored, lonely, and feeling useless and insignificant.<br />
<br />
But then I started to realize what a blessing this season of life is. I have a unique ability to shine God’s light in this lifestyle.<br />
<br />
As a Christian, my greatest priority is to know God more and to spend my time and effort growing closer to Him, and to help other people to do that as well. 1 Timothy 5:10 talks about biblical womanhood, it says that a Christian woman should be "…well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lords people, helping those in trouble, and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds." Having so much free time right now really frees me up to do that. I love that I have the schedule flexibility to listen to podcasts, take part in different activities with a local church, volunteer, and just spend time building relationships with the people around me. One day I will have kids, and then having all kinds of time to spend doing bible study or ministering to other people will be a luxury and not just part of my regular routine. I am learning to cherish all the free time I have right now!<br />
<br />
I'm learning to be confident in who I am and in my role as a traveling baseball wife. I am learning to remind myself that a job doesn't define my worth. The fact that I travel around with my husband doesn't make me any less smart or driven. Being my husbands #1 support is an important role in this crazy baseball life, and I'm glad I am able to be that. I am not any less valuable to society because my role isn't in the workplace. I am valuable because I am a child of God, and He loves me and created me to be in this role!<br />
<br />
Prayer: Lord, help me to see that my identity is in You, no matter where I am or what stage of life I am in. Help me to see how I can be an instrument of your will each day.<br />
<br />
<br />

In the baseball world there is a wonderful ministry called Baseball Chapel that, among other things, provides a daily devotional for women. Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to write several, and I thought I might as well start sharing them here to add in with the rest of my "digital scrapbook." Hope you enjoy!<br /><br /><br />......<br /><br /><br />Always & For Everything<br />Ephesians 5:19-20 “Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”<br /><br /><br />The Lord has really been teaching me to take control of my own attitude and emotions over the past year or so. At the end of the day, I and I alone can control how I feel- I can’t control my circumstances, so why should they be allowed to control my day??<br /><br /><br />It is so easy to slip into an attitude of selfishness and get wrapped up in how we feel about a situation rather than staying firmly in a place of thankfulness. We are instructed to give thanks to the Lord always and for everything. For me, this requires an intentional perspective shift towards having a grateful, positive heart and attitude. When I step back, I can see that God is truly at work in every single little detail of my life, and that is a reason to rejoice! <br /><br /><br />There are a few things I do that help me to stay rooted in a place of thankfulness and joy. I love telling my little Alexa speaker (seriously great little device haha) to play praise and worship music. Making a melody to the lord with your heart sure is easy when you are literally singing praises! I have a few playlists I like to alternate between, but my current favorite is to shuffle all songs by Christy Nockels. Another thing I do is to start and end the day praying specific thanks for God’s presence and sovereignty in my life and in that day. I know that it sounds simple and obvious, but making it very habitual to do these things each day does make a big difference for me. Finally, when I find myself slipping into a bad or selfish attitude, I have a few dear friends I can call to tell me to snap out of it. There are few things more valuable than friends who will lovingly tell you that you are being ridiculous ;)<br /><br /><br />God is so good and faithful to meet our every need, abundantly more than we could even ask for, we when are living according to His word. The Holy Spirit gives us the ability to live each day with joy and thankfulness despite any circumstance that we may face, what a blessing!

Where did you go?!Holy cow, it is already January and we have left our offseason home in Alaska and are getting ready for spring training! I say this every year, but it seems like the offseason goes by faster and faster.<br />
<br />
Okay so lets rewind. Towards the end of last season Cy was promoted to the Astros AAA team, the Fresno Grizzles. They spent most of the last month of the season on the road, so I just lived out of my suitcase and met up with Cy on road trips, and then spent the time in between split between my grandparents and in laws. It was a super fun whirlwind, but I was definitely excited to be DONE for awhile after so much travel haha!<br />

Our offseason in Alaska was wonderful and all too short, as usual. We love our time and community there. A few highlights:<br />
- My best friend gave birth to her perfect baby girl!<br />
- We completed our first round of Whole30 and oh my gosh it was a game changer!<br />
- Cy spent lots and LOTS of time in the mountains hunting. The boy loves him some nature.<br />
- I spent lots of quality time with my quilting ladies and finished several quilts! We had a wonderful time at our quilters retreat at the Second Star in Homer.<br />

- We celebrated our 3 year anniversary!<br />
- I teamed up with my sweet friends Becky and Carol to have a booth at our local craft fairs leading up to Christmas! We had so much fun together. We have some great ideas for next year, get excited ;)<br />
- Cy took a trip to Idaho to hunt with his dad, brother, and grandpa<br />
- We made a trip to Texas for some of our best friends weddings! We don't get to spend nearly as much time with all of them as we would like, so we treasure the time together.<br />

<br />
All in all, it was so full of great things and we wish it wasn't over just yet! But baseball never stops ;)<br />
<br />
Currently we are in Idaho for a few weeks visiting my in laws and for Cy to work out and throw in preparation for spring training. After this, we will head to Dallas for a bit and then it is off to Florida for spring training!<br />
<br />
One of my intentions for this year is to get back to more regular posts here. I love looking back on my old posts, it is like a scrapbook of sorts for me. I need to get better about documenting these memories.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

About 2 weeks ago Cy got promoted to the Astros AAA team in Fresno, CA! We definitely didn't see it coming and were so surprised and excited. I was actually at home with our host family watching a movie when Cy called. I figured he was calling to see if there was any leftovers from dinner he could eat rather than eating at the field lol! But surprise, he was getting moved up! After Cy got home (around 11pm) and the initial shock wore off, we got our plans together. He had a flight out to meet up with the team in Albuquerque the next morning, so we hurried and got his things packed up to hit the road. His first outing was in Fresno, and his aunt and cousins were able to make the trip!<br />
<br />
I stayed back in Corpus for almost a week longer. For one, there is always a chance of getting moved back down lol! Two, I needed to pack up everything else and figure out my own plans. It was great to have a few days to get everything wrapped up and say goodbye to our wonderful host family. I can never express how grateful and truly blessed we have been by the amazing families that have so generously let us into their homes and lives over the past 3 seasons, and it never gets easier to say goodbye when the time comes.<br />
<br />
After I got everything packed up, I headed north to Fort Worth to spend a couple nights with my sister at my grandparents house! It was great to get a little bit of time to visit with Haley, I haven't seen her since her wedding in March. From there, she took me to the airport and I flew to Reno to meet up with Cy!!<br />

Most of Cy's family lives near enough to drive to Reno, so it was nice to get to see everyone and for them to be able to see him pitch. He had a GREAT outing and it was fun to have family and friends there to see it!<br />

The team only had 7 home games left at the time Cy was promoted, so I am just meeting up with him on road trips to finish out the season. It is definitely hard to be spending more time apart than together this month, since that is not what we are used to, but thankfully it is just for a short time and offseason is just around the corner.<br />

I can't even tell you the amount of miles I have driven over the past 4 years! This season alone it is probably close to 2,000.. Not even counting air travel or spring training!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Along the way I have learned a few things that make life on the road easier, and I thought I would share!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>1. Make a plan. </b>Life in general is better when you have a plan to work from, and travel is no different. I like to plan my packing list a few days head of time then pack the day before, so nothing gets left behind. I also make a plan for where I will make food, restroom, and fuel stops on the road. I have found that if I look up good stopping points in advance I won't have to end up using a sketchy little gas station bathroom just to find out I could have driven another 15 minutes and been at a nice clean starbucks or chickfila instead ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Pack smart. </b>I am a huge huge HUGE fan of packing cubes! You can get them on <a href="http://a.co/abwui31" target="_blank">Amazon</a> for pretty cheap. I like to organize by tops, pants, socks & underwear, and such. Having things separated by category helps to avoid my suitcase turning into a clothing explosion in the hotel room. As mentioned above, I like to make a thorough packing list in advance, and then pack everything except for my travel outfit and toiletries the night before. Anytime I try to pack on the day of travel, I forget things! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>3. Sleep.</b> I am not the kind of person who can survive just fine on a lack of sleep. I *need* 8 hours. But we all know sleeping in hotels can be a struggle. Some things that help me immensely are using a <a href="http://a.co/9ZvgDcV" target="_blank">sleep mask</a>, playing white noise sounds on an app on my phone, essential oils, and bringing my own pillow. Maybe I am a diva, but I reallllyyy love my own pillow and sleep much better with it! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. Hydration is crucial!</b> I can tell a huge difference in how I feel when I am dehydrated. And unfortunately, I basically don't drink any water on driving days because I like to stop as little as possible. For example, I stop just once in the middle of my 8 hour drive between Corpus and Frisco. I try to drink one full water bottle within the hour before I stop. Because of this, I am always pretty dehydrated at the end of the day! To help combat that, I try to drink extra water on the days before and after traveling. Staying hydrated helps me to feel and sleep much better in general. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. Bust the boredom.</b> I don't know about you, but I just can't listen to the radio for more than an hour or two until I am bored and need something a little more stimulating. I like to use my drive time for making phone calls, and then I tune into podcasts! My favorites are anything that is true crime, right now I am loving Up and Vanished- the season finale is coming out soon and I am so anxious for it! There are TONS of podcasts on literally any subject you could possibly want to hear about, so check into that before your next trip.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>6. Things to keep handy in the car:</b> a bottle of water, advil (my neck and shoulders start hurting a few hours into a drive), protein bar or snacks, phone charger... What would you add??</div>
<div>

Just a few things that make a difference for me! What are your road trip tips?</div>

Each team has a facility, either in AZ or FL, where their entire organization gathers to train and prep for the season for a little over a month. Our spring training facility with the Astros is in West Palm beach, Florida. There are two separate "camps" at spring training for major league and minor league teams- this year Cy was invited to attend major league camp as a "non-roster invite" which is very exciting!<br />
<br />
Cy had to report to the facility on February 14th (Happy Valentine's Day to us L O L) so we packed up where we were staying with sweet friends in Dallas and drove over a couple days before. You might be in baseball if a drive from Texas to southeast Florida is "easy" ;) In minor league camp, you can either stay in the team hotel for free with a roommate or receive a small stipend and find your own place to live. In big league camp you get your own room in the hotel, so that is where we stayed! Reality- hotel life is nice for a short time, but by the end of our 6 weeks there I was desperate for a kitchen and home cooked meal haha. But all in all it was very nice to have that housing option!<br />

The facility is West Palm is brand new, this was our first season there. Previously the Astros had been in Kissimmee. It was definitely exciting to get to see the facility finish being build *just* in time for the first games to start.<br />

<br />
One of my favorite Astros wives, Breonna West, was able to visit for most of the time and their room was just down the hall from ours- a baseball wife dream come true lol! We had SO much fun hanging out while the guys were at the field each day. Another highlight for me was the annual Women's Luncheon hosted by Pro Athlete Outreach and Baseball Chapel- it is always a wonderful time meeting other women and learning from those who have been in the game for years!<br />

It was so exciting to be able to see Cy suited up and playing with the big league team when games started! He had a couple chances to get game time and faced some great players. Mostly, it was great to be able to spend time working with the big league coaches and staff, learning some things they would like him to develop and such. I also really enjoyed spending time with the wives and girlfriends there, everyone was so kind and welcoming!<br />
<br />
The last week of spring training is always a little wild because generally you don't find out where the team is sending you to start the season until the last minute. This year was even more exciting than usual because my sister Haley got married on March 28th! I flew home to AK on Friday, her wedding was Tuesday (also the day we found out Cy was for sure starting in Corpus), I got back to FL late Wednesday night, and we hit the road for Texas on Friday- talk about a whirlwind week! The wedding was absolutely beautiful, here is a vlog of the big day made by my brother in law and his business partner. They are professional videographers, you can see their work <a href="https://www.facebook.com/2corefilms/" target="_blank">HERE :) </a><br />

All in all, we had a great spring training! Cy got some great prep and instruction, I got to spend time with several sweet friends, and make a quick trip home to see my sister get married!<br />

Catching up...Okay so it has been approximately 37 years since I posted here. Actually like 10 months, but still... VERY overdue for an update! Here's how our offseason went :)<br />
<br />
We wrapped up last season with a trip to the playoffs but didn't win, which meant it was time to hit the road north to Alaska for the offseason! My dad bought a truck in Dallas, so we picked it up and drove all the way home to Kenai for him. The trip though Canada was absolutely amazing- if you're into traveling at all, you 1000% must make this trip at some point. British Columbia, in particular, is beyond breathtaking, and it was just amazing to be completely surrounded by such vast, mind blowing beauty.<br />

Our offseason in Alaska was wonderful, to say the least. It was so nice to spend that much time living near my family and best friend after so many years of living in Texas. We also loved the quality time we got to spend living alone- we are so blessed and thankful for the wonderful host families who have opened their homes to us each season, but it is really nice to be like a normal married couple and live by ourselves in the offseason lol.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed going to quilt group each week! We moved to AK when I was 4, and at the time both sets of grandparents lived on opposite sides of the country. Some ladies at church took my sister and I and loved us as their own grandkids, one of which being Becky Moore. She is a very gifted quilter, and made sure to teach us that skill over the years growing up. This offseason I was able to spend time with Becky and the quilting ladies and whip out a few quilts of my own! It was so wonderful to have that creative outlet as well as spending time with the wonderful ladies I get to call my friends there.<br />
<br />
I also joined the world of direct sales with a company called SeneGence, best known for their "magic lipstick" LipSense. If you want to learn more about that, join me over at <a href="http://bit.ly/loveandlipstick">bit.ly/loveandlipstick</a> - it has been such a fun thing for me :)<br />
<br />
Cy spent the offseason working diligently to FINISH HIS DEGREE!! Whoop whoop! He officially graduated from DBU with a Business Management degree and a minored in Marketing. I am SO proud of him. He took an almost double course load in order to finish in December, completely online. Big thanks to DBU and Mrs. Patty Whitely for making it possible for him to finish online. It took a lot of dedication to sit down and get his classwork done each week when there was the option to be out hunting instead. This year, he is really looking forward to having more freedom with his time :)<br />

It was our year to spend Christmas with my in-law's in Idaho, so we got to enjoy some time visiting with them before heading south to Texas to get ready for spring training. My sister Haley got engaged over Christmas and married at the end of spring training which was also a big highlight!! More on that later :)<br />

It is CRAZY that the season is just a few short weeks from ending! It feels like it has flown by so much faster than last year. We have a guaranteed spot in the playoffs because we won the first half, so we shall see how far into post-season play we will go.<br />
<br />
I figure this would be a good time to share a little about how our season has been in general!<br />
<br />
Hannah-<br />
This season has been GREAT for me. I don't think I have shared much about it here, but last fall I started working as a personal/administrative assistant for two ladies who are high ranking Beachbody coaches. This has been a huge blessing for several reasons! First, it is beyond amazing to have a job where I can work remotely and be able to make money while traveling with Cy full time. Second, it is so nice to have my own tasks and responsibilities to focus on outside of baseball. I have my work, Cy has his work, we get to focus on our own things instead of all baseball on both of our brains constantly. Third, the nature of my work is SO social and community focused, which is so great for my social butterfly self! <i>(If you're a baseball girl interested in a position like mine, shoot me an email!)</i> Plus, I get to use a lot of practical skills and knowledge from my degree, which is great ;)<br />
<br />
We are living with an INCREDIBLE host family (I seriously am amazed by how many truly wonderful people we have been able to live with in our past 2 seasons!!) and really they make baseball life doable. My host parents and I kind of accidentally started working out a couple months ago and now have a nightly group workout routine! It is really fun to do together, and I feel so great getting consistent exercise in- something I honestly have never really enjoyed haha.<br />
<br />
I have been traveling a LOT. I've gone on a good majority of Cy's road trips, plus a trip home to Alaska for my best friends wedding at the beginning of August! It has been super fun but starting to wear me out, I am ready for the offseason to just be in one place for awhile!<br />
<br />
<br />
Cy-<br />
"This season has been good! There have definitely been some frustrating moments pitching wise because I feel like I haven't been quite as consistent as I was last season or as I am capable of. But all in all I am happy with my season. We have won a lot of games, which is always fun. I really enjoy the staff and the organization as a whole.<br />
<br />
Our host family is awesome, makes life a lot easier. We have eaten a lot of great food and seen some fun new places this season- no complaints! It is really great to have Hannah with me full time, not everyone is able to make that work during season and I am thankful we can because it makes all the difference in the world.<br />
<br />
This offseason is going to be good. I am excited to graduate in December and be DONE with school. Looking forward to doing manly stuff like hunting and chopping trees/firewood. Plus, getting to spend time with family and reset my mind and body to get ready for next season."<br />
<br />
<br />
Us-<br />
We are rapidly approaching our 2 year anniversary, which is crazy. Sometimes it feels like it was just last week that we got engaged, but at the same time it feels like we have been together forever. It's cliche but really, life is great when your spouse is your best friend! We are making lots of memories and enjoying the slightly crazy life that baseball gives us. Always an adventure ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
So for our offseason, barring any crazy changes that baseball might bring, we are headed to ALASKA!! Yes, for real! All of the pieces just fell into place for us to spend most of our offseason up there near my family. We are really excited! I haven't been home for longer than like 3 weeks at a time since I left for college, so it will be great to spend extended quality time with our loved ones there.<br />
<br />
Here's to the last few weeks of this season!!<br />

I thought it would be fun to start a new series that addresses common questions about various aspects of baseball life. There are a few things that often come up as topics of conversation amongst the baseball world, and one of them is the assumption that players get unlimited free tickets to games. The reality is... Ehhh, sort of.<br />
<br />
In the minor leagues, players are allotted 4 spots on the "player pass list" per game. So each day when Cy gets to the field, he has to go to put my name on the pass list before it gets taken to the ticketing office a little before game time. Then when I get to the game, I go to the will-call window and they have my tickets waiting. It is super simple and easy. When we have family/friends in town, we gladly can get y'all tickets this way! Home teams are usually more flexible if Cy needs to leave more than 4 tickets, but when we are on the road if we have more than 4 people coming, he usually can ask another player to use their pass list spots if they aren't using them that day. So if we are in town and you want to come see Cy play (or just come sit and chat with me... duh!) we are so so happy to get you tickets!<br />
<br />
However, it is a completely different story when you get to the big leagues. Similarly to how it works for us in MiLB, big league players are allotted a small amount of specific seats in the designated "family"(players wives, kids, etc.) section (I believe 4) and a few in the "friends" section (I believe 2, I've heard these seats are generally kinda crappy). That is where the similarities end. First, it isn't so simple as writing names on the list, the player has to go through the team to coordinate the tickets. Second.... The tickets that players request to have are NOT free for them. If, for example, a player requests to have tickets left for his wife and kids, the value of those tickets are then considered "income" which the player is then taxed on out of his paycheck. Generally the player ends up paying around 40% of face value. A friend in Houston said that for them, it ends up about $30 per ticket. So by the end of the season, this can really add up!! I've heard stories of people not knowing this and then having to pay several THOUSANDS of of dollars in taxes for the tickets they gave out during the season. Crazy.<br />
<br />
So moral of the story, big league players often don't/can't coordinate tickets for more than immediate family. Many people say that it is usually a lot better to just buy your own tickets on stub hub or whatever, because you can find good seats for much less than it costs the players to get them. Minor league games, however, are free and easy for us to get you to- so come see us! ;)<br />

The season is long and can get pretty exhausting, so having those few consecutive days off to relax and enjoy plenty of quality time together is SO valuable.<br />
<br />
After finishing up the road series in Frisco on Sunday night, we immediately headed out to Athens to visit Cy's aunt. We LOVE getting out there any chance we can get- it is so peaceful and refreshing to be out in the country and spend time with family.<br />
<br />
Tuesday morning we hit the road and headed to Fredericksburg! On the way, we stopped to have lunch at The Salt Lick BBQ in Round Rock (just north of Austin). If you recall, we ate at their original location in Driftwood on our anniversary trip last fall. So tasty!<br />
<br />
We arrived at our Airbnb rental on a peach orchard just outside of town in the evening, and stopped by the store to grab some snacks. It was such a cute cabin, highly recommend! (click <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2627453" target="_blank">HERE</a> to check out the listing)<br />

<br />
The next morning, (after sleeping in laaaate) we enjoyed a tasty breakfast of cinnamon rolls and farm fresh eggs that our hosts graciously left for us before we hit the town to explore. Fredericksburg has an adorable main street lined with tons of neat little shops and restaurants! We spent most of our day just strolling through town checking things out! We stopped for a snack at the cutest little ice cream shop, Clear River- so tasty!! We headed back to the cabin to take a nap and hang out for a bit before dinner at Pasta Bella. It was very tasty!<br />

Of course, Cy built a fire in the backyard that night, despite it being like 90 degrees outside. The man loves to build fires haha!<br />

We enjoyed breakfast at Sunset Grill before heading back to Corpus to end our trip. It was such a low-key, relaxing couple of days for us!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;"><i style="font-family: 'avant garde', avantgarde, 'century gothic', centurygothic, applegothic, sans-serif;">Happy Sunday!! This week I want to introduce you to one of my absolute favorite baseball wives, Catherine Archer. Catherine and I were the lone wives who lived in Florida full-time last season when we were still with the Brewers. When Cy got traded, I cried because it meant I wouldn't be with Catherine anymore lol!! She is SO great! Keep reading to get to know her, and at the end she just might be giving a piece of her fabulous jewelry line away to one lucky reader!!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tristan
and I met through a mutual friend my senior year of high school (I know- just a
baby!) and he was a sophomore at my hometown college, where I later went as
well, Tennessee Tech University. From the beginning of our relationship, I knew
he was “different” or “special”, you could say, than the other guys I had
dated. I wouldn’t go as far to say that I knew at 18 years old that he was “the
one”, though. It wasn’t a specific moment that I knew he was the one, it was a
time in our lives and in our relationship- when his professional baseball
career got started. That first summer we had spent apart was the absolute worst
and we both knew from then on that we didn’t want to be without each other.
He’s the most selfless, humble, and loving person I know- I don’t know how I
got so lucky!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<!--StartFragment-->Oh,
gosh… road trips **currently rolling eyes**. Im just kidding.. sort of. This
year they actually aren’t that bad, at least compared to last year. This year
they’re only about 5 days long (last year was 7). Shamefully, I have to say
that the majority of my time is spent binge-watching Netflix and cooking. Its
actually really nice to be able to sit at home all day- no makeup, hair up,
sweats on. Usually while I’m watching tv I’m also working on jewelry. So road
trips are definitely a good time to get lots of work done before Tristan gets
home.<!--EndFragment-->

life has taught me so much about myself, as well as life in general. Ive
learned that I really, really like to be in control, which as you and all the

that, its taught me to learn to go with the flow and trust that God will lead

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aw my
little Squirrely. He’s just the sweetest- he’s currently curled up next to me.
He’s a Heinz 57 dog- part German Shepherd, part pug, part beagle, part terrier,
and probably lots of other things. We adopted him last November from (strangely
enough) a pit bull rescue based out of Illinois. It’s called Player for Pits
and they feature athletes who are against animal abuse. Tristan is a part of
their organization and has ALWAYS wanted to adopt from them. Stephanie (the
founder) and her team are amazing and go completely out of their way to rescue
animals- seriously the things they do are so wonderful. When we saw Squirrel’s
picture we knew we had to get him, and it was the best decision! He’s so
well-mannered (besides whining at animals he sees while watching tv), the BEST
cuddle buddy, and such a good traveller. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My
favorite baseball-related memory is definitely the time I drove up with my mom
and surprised Tristan on July 4<sup>th</sup> 2 years ago! It was a spur of the
moment trip and will always be my favorite trip my mom and I took together.
When we got to the field, our seats were directly behind their dugout. I had
been talking to one of the guys on the team before going up there (where
they’re staying, if he can get tickets, etc.) So when we got there, he told
Tristan to turn around and look in the stands and he had to do a double take before
realizing it was me. His face was priceless and it was so much fun being able
to surprise him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

has played in some interesting places- Helena, Montana and Appleton, Wisconsin
his first two years when I wasn’t traveling, then Melbourne, Florida and now we
are currently in Biloxi, Mississippi. My favorite of those definitely has to be
Melbourne, FL. We were about 15 minutes from a beach near us and about 30
minutes from Cocoa Beach- so much fun! We made so many good memories during our
first year traveling together, so that place will always hold a special place
in my heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well,
honestly, the whole reason Bow & Arrow is even a thing is because of
Tristan. I’ve always wanted to make jewelry just as a hobby and a creative
outlet. However, with college, planning a wedding, and working 2 jobs, it was
impossible. So a couple months after we got married, one random night he
decided we were going to Hobby Lobby and getting started on my new hobby (I
made the jewelry, he just watched). In the beginning, I just made pieces for
myself, my friends, and my family. After that, people from my hometown started
wanting to buy some pieces and from there it just kind of took off (not without
hard work, dedication, and late nights, of course). At this point, I’ve sold to
customers across the country and have sold my line in over 20 boutiques. It’s
actually really cool to think about. I honestly never would’ve imagined it
would be where it is right now. It’s definitely not a “career job” right now,
but I’m hoping one day it can be. It’s so nice to have some sort of income
during baseball season, and not to mention something I enjoy doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Hooks are currently in 1st place in our division, if we can hold on for about a week more and win the first half we will clinch a spot in the playoffs- super exciting! The team is on the road from now until the all star break, I will be heading out later this week to meet up with Cy and catch a little family time with my grandparents in </span>between<span style="font-family: inherit;">. This Friday Cy will be starting in Frisco against the Rough Riders, if any local friends want to come I would love to see y'all!</span></span></div>

In Wisconsin, the trips were almost all really long distances and there wasn't another married couple to room with, so going on a trip also meant paying for a separate hotel room which gets pricey quick! In Florida, the vast majority of the trips were just day trips, since most of the teams are located very close to one another.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This season, I am traveling quite a bit. It helps that we have family and friends throughout the league, so I have places to stop and break up the longer drives- and people to see! So far, I have made trips to Tulsa, Frisco, and San Antonio, and been to Dallas a few times in between. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The drive from Corpus to Dallas is right around 6 hours, which is an easy little day trip. Crazy to think that before we got married I had never driven more than 3 hours by myself and here I am today saying 6 hours is no problem ;) I have figured out a pretty good routine for myself on these drives though!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Plan your stops. When I drive to Dallas, I plan to stop at Buccee's in Temple for the bathroom, and Chickfila in Waco to eat. Planning your stops in advance is really important, especially as a woman traveling alone, because you can make sure to choose nice and safe areas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Plan your entertainment. I know that I can listen to music for about 2 hours before it starts to get boring! I have a Spotify "Road Trip" playlist I am always adding to, here it is if you would like to listen.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="380" src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify%3Auser%3A1210287168%3Aplaylist%3A6y8YRF3QhIynY0R7Vi3mzC" width="300"></iframe> - </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I have maxed out on listening to music I switch over to podcasts. There are SO MANY interesting podcasts on so many subjects that you can listen to! Here are some of my favorites, they are all free on iTunes in the podcast app:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
- Revive Our Hearts<br />
- Serial<br />
- Here's The Thing with Alec Baldwin<br />
- Stuff You Should Know<br />
- This American Life</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Use the time to make phone calls! I almost always talk to my parents, my best friend Courtney (we talk on the phone every day anyway, but still!), and my mother in law when I make long drives. It is always nice to have a nice long chat with the people you love!<br />
<br />
4. Pack a water bottle and a snack. Just in case!<br />
<br />
5. Essential oils. I have a car diffuser and I love to add a couple drops of peppermint and wild orange essential oils to keep me feeling awake and refreshed throughout the drive!<br />
<br />
I have been home for 2 straight weeks now, which I think might be the longest I have stayed put all season! We go on the road again June 15th and will be in Frisco- if you are a Dallas friend I would love to see you at a game!!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading :)<br />

<br />
However, they are few and far between. From the start of spring training (late February) to the end of the season (early September, not including post season) there is a baseball game almost every single day. No weekends off. They are required to have an off day about once a month, but this season about 90% of those are spent on a bus, traveling to the next series.<br />
<br />
So far this season we have had one true honest to goodness off day not influenced by travel. In two months! Crazy stuff! It was the week before last, and we loved every minute.<br />
<br />
We started the day just sleeping in and having breakfast and coffee. We love mornings together!<br />
<br />
Next, we headed to the Texas State Aquarium- thanks to the Hooks front office for the tickets! We spent a couple hours there and could definitely go back! It was super cool to see and learn about all of the different fish and critters they have there. We absolutely LOVE going to zoos, aquariums, and whatnot. Here is a little video/slideshow:<br />

After the Aquarium, we headed to Hester's in the Art Museum of South Texas. Hester's is a great local restaurant with several locations in Corpus- I've heard their breakfast is to die for but I haven't gotten there early yet! Cy had the Olivia pasta and I had their mushroom soup with a side house salad. Didn't take any pics because we were too busy being google-eyed at each other apparently! But it was SO good. SO GOOD. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then we headed over to the other side of Corpus and stopped in at Starbucks for frappucino happy hour. Usually we both just take our coffee black with a little bit of sugar, however... One day in college when we were dating, Cy and I went to go wash his truck and it was right by Starbucks during the annual frappucino happy hour so we got a drink. Ever since, Cy has talked about how good "that one drink we had" was. So he had a caramel frappucino once again on our off day, three years later haha! </div>

After Starbucks, we had to stop in at a body shop. A blown out tire was kicked up into me a little while back and it scratched up the front of my car, so we had to get an estimate for insurance. Yay adulthood!!! Thankfully the damage was just cosmetic and it didn't make my airbag deploy or anything like that while I was driving. The body shop took a lot less time than we anticipated, so we headed to the mall to walk around a do a little people watching before we were ready for dinner. Seriously we are so boring ;) But we love it!</div>
<br />
After we had walked the whole mall and worked up an appetite, we headed to dinner. It is pretty rare for us to actually have dinner together since Cy goes to the field at 1:30 and usually gets home after 10- a dinner date is a treat ;) We had a coupon for a free appetizer at Longhorn Steakhouse so obviously that is where we went! Major carnivores over here. It was delicious, of course!<br />

All in all, it was a super refreshing, low-key day and exactly what we needed :)<br />

Wow I really let time slip right on by and neglected this little online space! Since *several* family members have asked me when my next blog post is coming, I figure I need to actually get it done ha! Here's what we have been up to...<br />
<br />
Spring training was great! Cy got to back up the bullpen for the big league team a couple times and was able to go on the Astros trip to Mexico City for an exhibition game against the Padres- such a cool experience for him. It was great to get acquainted with our new organization, Cy has some awesome teammates and is really enjoying being with the Astros all in all.<br />
<br />
I have been a busy little bee working and loving my job! During the offseason I started working as a personal assistant. I work for two wonderful women who have become great friends to me, it is so much fun! And I do all of my work remotely, which is a huge blessing.<br />
<br />
Cy was assigned to AA in Corpus Christi! It is super exciting to be moved up a level from where we ended last season- I am so proud of Cy for working hard and aiming high. It is equally exciting to be playing in Texas where we are able to see our family often! A few weeks ago we had a series in Tulsa and got to spend time with my brother and sister in law Zeb and Jamie, which is always so wonderful! And on the way there I was able to stop and visit with two of my best friends in Dallas (Jen and Melissa) and then visit with my grandparents on the way home as well. Last weekend we had a series in Frisco, TX and over THIRTY of our family and friends came to see Cy pitch, it was amazing and means so much to have that support system!<br />
<br />
He has been throwing very well so far, which is also fun ;) There are several married guys on the team, and there are 4 wives who will be in Corpus full time this season in addition to the many others who will be in and out visiting! We are living with a wonderful host family- so thankful for the Lords provision in that! All in all, life is great in south Texas thus far ;) Here is a link to a fun article on Cy from this week <a href="http://whattheheckbobby.blogspot.com/2016/05/getting-to-know-hooks-rhp-cy-sneed.html" target="_blank">{click here}</a><br />
<br />
This month will mark a year and a half of marriage for us, crazy how time flies! I love being married to Cy. It's not always rainbows and butterflies, for sure, but it is really something special to get to go through this life together. Life is fun when you're married to your best friend!<br />
<br />
I'll wrap this up with some pictures!<br />

Thanks for sticking with me! I will try to do better about posting regularly, now that the season is in full swing ;)<br />

One such woman is Taffee, the wife of Cy's former pitching coach from the Timber Rattlers last season. Taffee and I got to be good friends during our time in Wisconsin, and I am so thankful for all of the wisdom she has and continues to share with me and the way she immediately welcomed me and made me feel at home.<br />
<br />
The other day, Taffee and I were chatting about our offseason and what we had been up to, when she asked if I was ready for the upcoming season. I told her I was as ready as I would ever be, laughing since really there's no way to truly be prepared for what baseball is going to throw at us next ;)<br />
<br />
It got me thinking about how different I feel approaching this season than I did last season. Now that I have my first season of being a full-time traveling baseball wife under my belt, I feel so much more at ease with the quirks that come with it. Last spring I was anxious, not knowing what to expect or how to really prepare for the season ahead. There are SO many possibilities and unknowns, and it can be hard to wrap your head around that and let go of the need to have everything under control.<br />
<br />
Last year we had no idea what level we would be starting at until a few days before we left spring training. We had no idea if we would be able to find a host family once we got there. We had no idea if I would be able to find a job. We had no idea if there would be other wives on the team to be friends with. Lots of unknowns! Having never experienced any of it before, you can imagine how that could be rough for little newlywed me ;)<br />
<br />
But it all turned out great, despite the stressful times and the learning curves! I learned to just roll with what each day brought, and to be content with taking each day as its own without worrying (mostly...) about the next step. My faith plays a huge role- I truly believe that there is a purpose and an opportunity for me in every season and situation, so it is best for me to trust and embrace that. Knowing that I do NOT have to be in control of every detail is so freeing! All I have to do is embrace each day and do my best with where we are.<br />
<br />
So going into this season, I am at peace. I know a little better what to expect (anything and everything!) what is worth getting concerned about (nothing!) and how to stay content. Although we are with a new team, which brings a whole new set of things to learn, everything has been great so far! We aren't 100% sure where we will be this season yet but we have a good idea, and either way things will be great.<br />
<br />
So yes, I'm ready for this upcoming season. It's hard to prepare for a season when I can't really plan ahead, but it's much easier now knowing that everything will work out one way or another- just gotta roll with it :)Simply Hannah Sneedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09323044683361048359noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486608725103947570.post-35425644598870990052016-03-14T10:18:00.001-07:002016-03-14T10:46:06.180-07:00My Favorite ST EventSpring training is fun. The days are shorter than the regular season, and they start in the morning instead of at night- I love that schedule! You get to see friends and meet new people. You get to hang out in a warm sunshiny state ;)<br />
<br />
My very favorite part of spring training is the annual Women's Luncheon, put together by Lisa Weston of Baseball Chapel and Rene Taubensee of Pro Athlete Outreach. They host 3 luncheons throughout Florida, and one in Arizona. The purpose of this event is to give wives/fiancees/girlfriends a day to come together and refresh and refocus before the start of the season.Last year my sweet friend Jackie invited me, and it was so amazing to realize that there are so many other christian women in baseball who experience the same challenges that I do, and to learn and grow together!<br />
<br />
My friend Tessa, whose husband KJ played at DBU with Cy and is now with the Yankees, drove over from Tampa for the day to come to the luncheon in Orlando with me. It was so fun to hang out!!<br />

<br />
This year, the main speaker was Jackie Kendall. She spoke about the principles in her new book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Surrender-Your-Junior-God-Badge/dp/0768408490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457972477&sr=8-1&keywords=jackie+kendall+junior+god" target="_blank">Surrender Your Junior God Badge: Every Woman's Battle with Control</a>. This was a great message to hear, since in baseball there is SO MUCH that is beyond our control, no matter how hard we try! Each woman in attendance was gifted a copy of the book, and I am so excited to dive in and start reading it!<br />
<br />
After lunch we had small group breakout sessions, hosted by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gari-Meacham/e/B002A59YXM/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1" target="_blank">Gari Meacham</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vicki-Rose/e/B00NWOA7JA/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1457972709&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Vicki Rose</a>. I went to Vicki's session, I was given a copy of her book "Every Reason to Leave & Why we Chose to Stay Together" at least years luncheon and loved the chance to her her share her story in person. It is incredibly encouraging to hear personal stories from godly women who have been in baseball for decades and can teach from experience!<br />
<br />
I also got to meet 3 other Astros wives at the luncheon! They were big league wives and they were beyond nice and friendly to me- I am so thankful for that! I have only met 2 other minor league wives so far, so it is such a blessing to meet women who know the ropes and welcome you in.<br />
<br />
There are two more luncheons this year!! This weekend in Jupiter (3/18), and the following weekend in Scottsdale (3/22). If you are a baseball girl around either of those places and haven't registered for the luncheon yet, send me an email and I will get you the link!! It is SO SO good and worth going to even if you have to drive a little ;) There is more info on resources for baseball girls listed at the bottom of the "baseball" tab here on the blog.<br />

In other news, minor league games start this weekend! I am SO excited to get to see Cy throw again :) Alsoooo, if you didn't notice I did a little update on the blog and changed up my URL and title to "Simply Hannah Sneed" to be a little more fitting, since I was a bride well over a year ago haha!<br />
<br />
Hope you have a great week!<br />

How on earth is it spring training time already? I truly have no idea how the offseason flew by so fast. We are currently in Florida for spring training, and on the drive here we couldn't stop remarking on how it seemed like we had just barely left.<br />
<br />
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!<br />

Of course, by now you probably know that in November Cy got <a href="http://baseballbride.blogspot.com/2015/11/traded.html" target="_blank">traded from the Brewers to the Astros</a>! 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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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 ;)<br />

This offseason also brought several weddings! After Christmas we headed to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for Drew and Kassie's wedding, it was so gorgeous and SO MUCH FUN! The whole bridal party was filled with couples and best friends, so it was just a nonstop party- I wish we could do it again!<br />

The next weekend back in Dallas, I had the honor of doing my sweet sorority sister Chelsea's hair and makeup for her wedding. She was SUCH a gracious and joy-filled bride!<br />

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.<br />

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!<br />

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!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
Thanks for bearing with my sporadic blogging in the offseason and keeping up with our wild life :)<br />
<br />
kiss kiss, Hannah<br />

We celebrated 1 year as Mr. and Mrs. on November 7th. My oh my how time flies when you're... traveling across the country multiple times for baseball ;) But really, it's crazy how fast our first year flew by. We have laughed and loved and grown so much together.<br />
<br />
To celebrate our anniversary, we took a little 2-night getaway trip to Wimberly, TX in the beautiful hill country. We stayed at the Three Graces Cabin (totally recommend!!) and enjoyed some quiet time to just be together and relax.<br />

We got in pretty late Sunday night, and since we were still pretty full from lunch (we got together with family to celebrate my Granny's 80th birthday!) we decided to just stop at HEB and get some snacks and dessert. And when I say snacks, I mean I got fancy crackers, cheese, and salami, and Cy got a Lunchable ;) We soaked in the hot tub for a bit, and then settled in to watch a WW2 documentary on Netflix. Married life!<br />
<br />
The next day, we had a light breakfast of farm fresh eggs (left by the property hosts from their very own chickens- so cool!) and some fruit, before walking around the beautiful property the cabin is located on. The cabin is located on 10 acres, and the owners have an adorable airstream trailer and the cabin that we stayed in available for rent. There is a creek that runs through the back of the property, and it really is just so peaceful!<br />

We headed down the road into town for brunch at Mima's cafe, it was so tasty! Then we had a leisurely walk around the town square and enjoyed walking through all of the adorable, unique shops.Throughout the town area, there are tons of these giant, decorated boots, they are so cute. We headed back to the cabin, took a nap, and watched a movie. Yay vacation!</div>

That evening, we made the beautiful drive to Driftwood to have dinner at the famous Salt Lick BBQ. It was SO GOOD!! We went early enough that we didn't have to wait for a table at all. We love trying new BBQ places, and this one might just top the list. Also, we got a piece of the blackberry cobbler to-go and had it with coffee the next morning, it was out of this world. </div>

The next morning, we had a tasty breakfast at the Wimberly Cafe and grabbed coffee and Maui Wowy before hitting the road back to Dallas.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a wonderful trip! Sweet, quiet, and relaxing. It was great to have a little time by ourselves to just enjoy each others company and reflect on our first year as a married couple.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! As always, I really appreciate that you take the time to follow along with our little adventures on this blog. It means a lot!<br />

<br />
In baseball, we all live with the knowledge that everything can change at any moment. Injuries, moves, trades, getting released.. It's all possible, and all beyond our control. But just because we know that it is possible certainly doesn't mean we are prepared when it does!<br />
<br />
For the last couple weeks, I had been feeling really content that our offseason has been so low-key and quiet. Cy didn't have to go to instructs or any mini camps, so (aside from his workouts and such) baseball was kinda off the brain.<br />
<br />
Thursday afternoon, we were sitting on our couch doing homework. Cy got a phone call from a Milwaukee number, which isn't unusual- he has to report on how his workouts are going and stuff. But this call sounded different. About 15 seconds in, I figured he was getting informed that he was selected to be drug tested haha! But then he pulled the phone away and said,<br />
<br />
"I just got traded... Astros!"<br />
<br />
WHAT?! Traded?! We were both completely shocked! We didn't know any details of who else the trade involved, and it hadn't been made public yet, so we were really curious to find out more.<br />
<br />
But... My heart fell to the floor when it hit me that this trade wouldn't just take us to a new team, it also take me away from the girls I had built friendships with this year. The first person I texted was Catherine, my baseball wife BFF. We were the only wives who stayed full time at High A this season and spent nearly every day together. We were already looking forward to next season, so the news that we wouldn't be together anymore hit hard. But that's the nature of this game, it forces you to grow roots quickly even though you know they could get ripped up even faster. I wouldn't change it though, it is so worth it to be open and build these cherished friendships, and I look forward to meeting the wonderful women in the Astros org!<br />
<br />
We texted our families to tell them the news, googled where the Astros MiLB teams and spring training are, and shortly thereafter word of the trade came out. The Astros traded one of their big league infielders to the Brewers in exchange for Cy, which is pretty cool! He got some calls from a few of the Astros staff throughout that day and the next, and it is so cool and encouraging to hear how excited they are to have him joining their organization.<br />
<br />
So, here's a breakdown of what this trade means for us. (You can refer back to <i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://baseballbride.blogspot.com/2014/06/minor-league-baseball-aka-why-im.html" target="_blank">this</a> </i>post for an overview of the minor league system) Cy is now employed by the Houston Astros, and is working his way up through their minor league system. He isn't on the big league team, so don't go buying season tickets just yet ;) Here are the MiLB teams that comprise the Astros system:<br />

We don't know what level he will play at next season, and likely won't until Spring Training (he ended this season in Advanced A, for reference). The Astros spring training is in Kissimmee, Florida- quite a change from where we were last year in Phoenix (which I will also miss, particularly my sweet friend Aubrey)! BUT we are SO excited we will close to our dear friends/host family from this past season in Viera :)<br />
<br />
We truly loved the Brewers, they gave Cy his start in professional baseball and brought us some incredible friendships. But, their minor league is filled with lots of good arms, and their prospect list is deep, so being in a new organization could mean more exposure for Cy, and greater opportunities to move up faster. The Astros have an incredible pitching program (hello, Dallas Keuchel just won the Cy Young award!!), so this is a great fit!<br />
<br />
Change can be hard, but this is a wonderful opportunity and we are excited. I am so thankful that Cy gets to play the game he loves, and that it keeps us on our toes. Here's to a new chapter in our baseball adventure- Let's go Astros!Simply Hannah Sneedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09323044683361048359noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486608725103947570.post-86794179607399107322015-10-26T07:22:00.000-07:002015-10-26T07:30:09.060-07:00Welcome to My Frontier!If you know me, you know I love the Pioneer Woman. She is cute, hilarious, and makes great food. If you are looking for a good recipe, she's your gal.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Cy's aunt Sugar, I get to pretend I'm a pioneer woman myself sometimes. Sugar lives on a cattle ranch in East Texas. It is absolutely blissful out there, and we love getting out to visit and relax. She recently took a couple of their bulls to the PBR Finals in Vegas, so Cy and I headed out to the ranch to stay with his 15 year old cousin and enjoy some quiet time.<br />
<br />
Cy's Grandma Brenda flew down from California for the second half of the trip, and my sister Haley even drove down from Dallas for a night, so we had a great time all together! We all enjoyed the fresh air, peaceful country life, plenty of good food, and family time.<br />
<br />
We also got over 20 inches of rain, thanks to Hurricane Patricia.... Crazy!<br />

One of the best things about visiting the ranch is it forces me to be still. I can easily get wrapped up in the distractions my own agenda and get burned out on being busy and not putting time into my own spiritual health. A few weeks ago, Bethany (Dillon) Barnard sang her song "To Those Who Wait" at church, and it really stuck with me. Often I focus on all of the things I need to do- things at home, schoolwork, investing in relationships, writing, etc., and I forget that the most valuable thing I can do is simply wait, because when I am quiet and slow down enough to listen, that is when I can hear what God is trying to say to me and see what He is doing in my life. Listen to the song below, and take a little time this week to be still and wait. It is so refreshing!</div>

I guess I accidentally took a little break from blogging, and it's been pretty nice. After the long season, I was just tired. Getting back to Dallas and having time to rest and simply enjoy our time together and with friends has been the priority, so once I finish my classwork I'm usually ready to not touch my computer for the rest of the day. I do plan to get back into the swing of posting regularly within the next couple weeks, so bear with me!<br />
<br />
A quick update:<br />
<br />
- We are back in Dallas for the offseason, and living in an apartment with two of Cy's college buddies who play pro ball now too. It's fun!<br />
<br />
- We have kept pretty busy making trips to visit family, we have missed our tribe.<br />
<br />
- I have been doing a good bit of wedding related activities, 3 of my best friends are getting married in 2016!<br />
<br />
- We left my car in TX for the season, and it got totaled by a hailstorm. So we are currently looking for a replacement. Cy is super specific on what he is wanting, so its a process ;)<br />
<br />
- Cy is taking 17 hours of school with plans to graduate next December. He is busy for sure, but very good at managing his time and getting everything done. Proud of that guy!<br />
<br />
- I'm taking my final 3 classes and will graduate in December!!! So close!<br />
<br />
- I finally took the plunge and got rid of the rest of the blonde that was lingering in my hair (I'm a natural brunette but went blonde for my first 2 years of college... holy upkeep haha)... Now I'm back to the dark side ;)<br />
<br />
- Cy has been taking a full rest to let his body recover after the season, he will start back into working out and stuff very soon though to get the ball rolling for next season. (It never ends!)<br />

Short and sweet ;) I've gotta get back to my homework now, but I will be back on the blogging grind before too long. I really do have some fun ideas for posts... I just haven't felt like getting it done yet haha.<br />
<br />
Thanks for following along on our little baseball adventure!<br />

Long time no talk! At least it seems like it haha. With the seasons end rapidly approaching, I haven't felt very motivated to blog. I do have some fun offseason post ideas rolling though, so stay tuned ;)<br />

Not much new to report here. Cy has continued to throw well, our host family continues to be awesome, Florida continues to be hot, humid, and lizard-filled. Cy and I did start classes last week though! I am taking my last 3 classes required to graduate in December.... whaaaat! After an extra (almost) year of taking just a couple classes at a time in order to stretch my senior year as long as possible... the end is finally in front of me. Cy is taking 17 hours this semester, and will do the same next fall to graduate in December 2016. S/O to DBU for having such flexible online programs!<br />

Catherine and I had a fun little change of pace on Tuesday night, during game 2 of (yet another) doubleheader, the radio broadcast guys had us come join them on air for an inning! We had fun sharing a little bit of what baseball wife life has looked like for us this season. Unfortunately, I can't find an archive anywhere. But my mom was listening so that counts ;) **Side note- check out Catherine's jewelry business on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bowandarrowdesigns?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://instagram.com/bowandarrow.designs/" target="_blank">instagram</a> - she makes incredible pieces!**<br />

It's crazy how fast this season has flown by! I'm sure I will sit down and give a full recap once we get back and settled in. The final game of the season is on Sunday, and we will be heading back to good ol' Texas next Tuesday for the offseason. We are renting an apartment with two of Cy's former teammates from college, so I'll be putting my mom/housewife skills to the test for sure! It will be a lot of fun though, we are pumped to be living with our friends :)<br />
<br />
That's all I have for now. Hope you are having a great week! Here's a little music to get you through to the weekend- I am loving this song lately.<br />
<br />
Love as always, Han<br />

This week, a show called "WAGS" aired on E... It features some women who are married to or "associated with" (whatever that means) various athletes. The promos for this show talk about how it's all about fame, diamonds, black cards, glamour, and drama... Well if you know me or any other baseball wife, you know that is NOT our reality! Even in the big leagues, yeah there are certainly perks but it still is far from the lavish lifestyle that this show portrays as "normal." We aren't in this life for the perks, we are in it because we choose to support our men 100% while they work for their dreams each day because we LOVE them- not because the prospect of fame or money drives us to. My friend <a href="http://deidreemme.com/" target="_blank">Deirdre said it best</a> "...baseball is such a tiny part of our lives in the grand scheme of things. Right now it takes up a large part of what we do and who we are, but I sacrifice and support him because I love him as a human. Not as a professional baseball player."<br />
<br />
On one hand, it's definitely funny how stupid and unrealistic the show is. On the other, it's really frustrating to be so inaccurately portrayed. An anonymous NFL wife wrote <a href="http://thoughtcatalog.com/anonymous/2015/08/im-a-current-wag-and-i-think-es-new-show-wags-completely-misses-the-point/?utm_content=bufferef338&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer" target="_blank">a post for Thought Catalog</a> that talks about the discrepancies between reality and Reality TV's portraying of football culture. Baseball fiancee and owner of Home Run Sitters Ashlee Rowe <a href="http://www.homerunsitters.com/blog/not-my-reality" target="_blank">wrote a post</a> chronicling where the E show went wrong. Women across sports got upset about the stereotype that this show is reinforcing.<br />
<br />
As a fun way to rally together and show what our reality looks like, baseball wife <a href="http://inspiredrd.com/" target="_blank">Alysa</a> (check out her blog she posts tons of cool recipes and such) came up with a great idea, posting about our own experiences. Overnight, the hashtag was used by dozens of wives and girlfriends, and at this point in time has reached over <strike>32,00</strike> 75,000 twitter users! Check out <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WAGSinreallife?src=hash" target="_blank">#WAGSinreallife on twitter</a> to read our funny tidbits of life in the game.<br />

It's amazing to see so many women come together to laugh and share stories and lessons learned from this crazy life we lead. I've said it before and I will say it again, having the support system with baseball wives and girlfriends is what makes it possible. I would be so lost if it weren't for the other women who have been in the game far longer than I have who came alongside me and showed me the ropes, with kindness and encouragement. There is no hierarchy or drama here, just genuine support.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On my sidebar and under the "Baseball" tab here on the blog, I have links to blogs written by other baseball wives/girlfriends. If you want to read about what life is really like as the spouse of a professional athlete, please take a minute to check them out! Y'all know me, and you know that while this lifestyle is a blessing and we don't take it for granted, it does have its fair share of struggles. Hopefully people will see the reality instead of the "reality" of television.</div>

I usually don't go on road trips, since hotels and eating out gets really expensive really fast. However, there was an extra room for this trip due to an odd number of people traveling with the team, so Cy got to stay in the empty room which means I could come along without us having to pay for an extra room! (yikes how many times do I need to say "room" in one sentence?!) Anyway, it was nice to have a couple nights away together.<br />
<br />
The left for Dunedin on Friday morning, and I headed out later in the afternoon in order to get to the game a little after it started. On the way, I drove right past Disneyworld. That was the closest I have ever been, and not stopping was tragic. One day!! Once I arrived in Dunedin, I stopped at Five Guys for a quick dinner before the game... I was craving a burger, and ballpark food generally just not the best (unless you're at the Timber Rattlers stadium, then go upstairs to the Fox Club where everything is delicious). At the game, I fortunately ended up sitting by a couple girlfriends and fiancee's from the other team who were super friendly, it was great to meet some other baseball girls and not sit alone!<br />
<br />
On Saturday morning, we slept in nice and late, then walked a couple doors down the road to Lenny's, a fun little local breakfast joint. The food was good and the place was hopping, worth a try if you're in Clearwater! We came back to the hotel and just relaxed, our usual pitching day routine. After Cy headed to the field, I got some off-season planning done and ate a bite before heading to the game.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Cy had an incredible start! He pitched 7 innings, and only have up 1 earned run and 3 hits. He also tied his career high 8 strikeouts. He also got to pitch to his former college teammate, Boomer Collins, which was super cool. It is really fun to watch Cy in his element, super focused and intent on giving his absolute best! Being able to experience this season with him has been really fulfilling for me.<br />
<br />
Sunday I headed back to Viera, I decided to come home earlier in the day instead of drive late at night after the game. Side note, if you're driving in Florida, make sure you have change on hand to pay for the toll roads! Anyway, it was a fun little trip and I'm thankful I got to go along and see Cy pitch.<br />
<br />
He comes home tomorrow, YAY, and then next week they have another 6 day trip, and then just a few commuter series' to end the season... I can't believe it has gone by so fast!!<br />
<br />
Hope y'all are having a great week :)<br />
