Change is coming

Been awhile...again...I know. So, some things have come up that are going to stir the pot around my life. About a month ago I found out that my place of work is closing it's doors on the 31st of December. Needless to say this news sucks. After having a steady job for almost 10 years the thought of job hunting and doing interviews again just makes me cringe. However, I'm also kind of looking forward to it. I think it's time for something new. I will miss my friends and co-workers but I'm sure I will get into something just as fun and find more firends. The funny part was that the next night, after hearing this news, I injured my leg at softball. Tore my calf muscle to be exact. Turned out to be a fun week. So, as of now, I am job hunting as well as recovering.

To kind of go along with my injury news, I have decided to give up playing softball. It's kind of hard for me to do so, but I think I've found an outlet. I've been playing baseball or softball since I was very little and every year since. It's difficult to let go after living and breathing the sport I grew up with but life goes on. I'm taking on coaching youth baseball next year to fill the void. I want to help my son learn to play better and help other kids have some fun and further their skills. I've asked one of my best friends, who has played ball with me since we were kids, to help me. I've also asked my dad, who was a huge reason why I played ball, to help as well. Between the three of us I know we can do some good and have an impact of some future players.

As far as school goes, I haven't written it off. Just trying to sort out everything else right now. I'm thinking of going back for photography or sports management. I haven't decided which. But, like I said, everything else first.

Laini is getting so big. She started daycare this month. She is doing great. We go to pick her up and ask her what she did for the day and her answer is, " I played with boys." I love it. Anthony started basketball practice this morning. He is really looking forward to it, so I hope he does well. Both kids have birthdays coming up. It's crazy how much they've grown. Laini will be 2 in November and Anthony will be 13 in December.

Well that's all for now. Hopefully it won't be so long between posts from here on out. No promises.
