They're Coming! Our Friends Are Coming!!!

It is usually this time of year that I am frantically packing for our month stay for spring training and also packing separately for what we will need for the five-or-so months on the road for wherever we may end up that baseball season. This year is just so different. We have been here since September and won't be leaving with everyone at the end of March. Spring Training is probably going to be a very weird experience from a rehab persepective, but the one thing that matters is our friends are still coming! It is usually a long wait to see everyone from September until March. This year we haven't seen most of our friends since June due to that little thing called surgery. We can not wait!!!

Today our first friends, and new neighbors, the Denove's got into town! They are literally walking distance from us!!! We met up at the local pizza place for dinner and then headed over to their place for a little while to do some more catching up. They have a putting green in their backyard that kept the guys and Ryder occupied for a while while Heather and I sat by their fire pit and got to finally talk in person! We talk pretty much daily, but haven't talked in person since June... it's insane to me that it's been that long! It felt so great to be able to have familiar faces in this place we have had to call home by ourselves for so long.

It was a great night with many more to come... Super Bowl party... cookouts... game nights... it's going to be a great couple months!!!
