Well as most of you know TJ went off to be a head coach in Anchorage Alaska for a summer league. We had a bbq to wish him luck and congratulate him on Memorial Day. It was bitter sweet, as the Dirtbags ended their season, 2 years in the row with no post season, but another door opening full of opportunities ahead of us for TJ's career. I was so happy with the turn out. With it being a holiday weekend I know a lot of people had things to do and places to go, but for those that were able to make it, we had such a great time kicking back, enjoying the beautiful weather and getting to visit with friends and family. Which is a rare occasion for us with baseball consuming most of our lives! No really, it is 12 months of the year and I have finally adjusted and accepted it, almost 4 years into our marriage and after meeting wonderful people to show me the way of being a baseball coach's wife, so I know a lot of people don't get it, but everyone has been so supportive, loving and just there for us through it all and that is what friendships and family are all about. I loved seeing that so many of our friends and family were able to share that with us this past Monday. I gave a speech, against TJ's will/permission, but hey, I am freaking proud of my hubby and had to let him and everyone know it. I was very proud of myself, I got choked up, but sucked it up and continued on like a big girl to finish my toast/speech to the best damn baseball coach, husband and daddy I know!!! :)
Hunny, we are so very proud of you, I never thought it would be this hard to have you away for the summer (we'll see you in two weeks, but it still seems like forever). I am sorry for breaking down so much the past few days (I've cried every day, at least 3 times a day or every time we talked about him leaving, then the night he left, OH Goodness...WRECK! I would be a horrible military wife, that is for sure. Wow, I am blessed, he is going to coach, not to war, but it is still damn hard. I feel so incomplete without him here. When we skype I cry, when we say goodbye on the phone I cry, when Rhowan wakes up for a feeding and my bed is empty, I cry...seriously, post baby hormones, can you keep it together?!) Ok, so anyway, babe, we are so proud of you. Keep your head up, we are behind you 110 % and can't wait to come visit you. Wherever this career takes you, we are right behind you.
Oh by the way, Rhowan said "Da da" today. TJ called while we were having our oatmeal and I said, "oh, it's Daddy." Rhowan said, "Da da." I was like, "Babe, OMG, she just said Da da, I think." So we got on skype and I said, "Rhowan, come say by to Daddy." She crawls over 100 miles a minute and says it again, "Da da." Ok, and the tears come again! LOL. I know, right. I can't keep it together! These 2 weeks will go by so fast and then off to see Da da we go!
We love you all and thank you for your unconditional love and support of TJ, his career and our little family. We would not be where we are today without our family and friends.
love you all and God Bless,
The Bruces
