The Transition from "In-Season" to "Off-Season" started off with a BANG. On October 6th, 2011 - I made the transition from Minor League Baseball Girlfriend - to Minor League Baseball Fiance!! J proposed on our annual vacation to Lutsen! The best part - he got it on Film! It was such a special moment. The two of us have been through so much together throughout the past 5 years it was great to know that above everything else - including baseball, that I am his #1.
We decided to get married Fall of 2012 - so that the weather would still be decent, and it wouldn't interfere with Baseball Season. Besides wedding planning, we purchased a house & bought a dog! Eeeeeeee! I can't imagine a more exciting year!
J and I know we are so lucky to be able to work through this crazy lifestyle together. It can be so difficult and so lonely (for both of us) - and we are fortunate to be able to continue to stay strong through it all. Unfortunately, my sister B & her boyfriend M (hockey player) didn't have the same luck. My family made a new pact - NO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AS BOYFRIENDS MOVING FORWARD! Ha! Fortunately for J - he had already proposed before the rule was created! :)
