Crazy Week

If you would have asked me a month ago, which would happen first, Landon would steal a base, or catch a perfect game I would have laughed and said that even though there have only been 18 (before Sunday) perfect games in MLB history, that the latter would probably happen first. Well, both have happened this week and Landon and I have just sat back in disbelief. We could have never of fathomed that we would be in this position after the way this whirlwind season has started....but obviously we are just chess pieces in this game of life and God is the puppeteer. Between all of the interviews, and media calls we have dealt with, we found time to sit back and relish what God has done. Sunday was an absolutely magical day. Not only was it Mother's Day (my first with the little man) but also the day Landon caught Dallas Braden's perfect game. Now, thanks to an amazing performance from Braden, Landon will forever be in Major League Baseball history. Holden and I joined them in the room for the press conference after the game and Holden proceeded to crawl around talking..during the whole interview session,making friends with all of the media. ( I guess that's something new he is going to have to learn about in the future) Now with all the ups, downs and back and forths we have been through this year, this just made me smile ( I haven't stopped for about 4 days now) because I had such a hard time trusting God's plan for my life and have struggled with peace in this whole situation so much. And let me tell you, the only reason Landon was catching that day was divine intervention my friends. You see, God had a plan all along, and it wasn't until I surrendered, learned to trust and live day by day( which as you know, is a HUGE stretch for me) that he revealed it. Who's to say what will happen from here, well only he knows. But we can rest assure we are following his plan, and I think it's a pretty good one.

Holden and I have made the trip to Texas this week to watch the boys play the Rangers. No, not because I just love flying with Holden ( if you don't know, check the older posts) but because I LOVE the Hotel here in Dallas. It is a Four Seasons, and a resort, so I feel like I am on a tropical vacation. Not to mention they have childcare and an amazing spa ( so I was able to talk a facial out of Landon for my Mother's day) And we have had a great time as a family. We are really enjoying every day we get to spend with the A's at the time..there are some great people involved with this team.
On another note, my sister gave birth to her second ( a boy) Brooks Edris Blanchard and we can't wait to meet him ( Holden is ready to teach him some bad things). We love and miss you all... Here is a pic of Holden we took while out for some lunch in Dallas!
