At school, I read and check blogs every day (admittedly, sometimes several times a day if I'm bored), but now I'm away from a computer most of the day and on a different routine, so my posts are a little more spread out. But I'll try to be better at updating.
I'm back in Wichita, Kansas with Brandon. We have a great set up at the house where we're staying with the general manager of the team and his wife. B and I are in the basement which is actually more like a little apartment. It has a living room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pool table. Our host mom, Judy, is an avid quilter. Her quilting station is downstairs as well. My roommates from E.N. 12th know that I started a quilt about 3 years ago. I have it all pieced together but not quilted, so Judy told me to bring it and she's going to help me finish it finally!
B and I are able to spend most of the day just hanging out or doing whatever we want. They have a game just about every night, so he usually goes to the field around 3:30, and I come later when the game starts. They always need volunteers, so I sometimes help out by working the concession or the scoreboard or the scorebook. It's nice to be on a bit of a winning streak right now. It puts everyone in a better mood, and as Brandon said, "The bed's softer after a win." He can especially appreciate it after being on a bit of a losing streak a few weeks ago.
I also get a lot of time to do some summer reading. I finished Blue Like Jazz a few days ago. Now I'm reading The Crux of the Matter and Prodigal Summer. Vacation is so much better than being at work!
Dad and I were able to go to some College World Series games in Omaha. It was my dad's 11th and my 1st time to go. It was so much fun to be there. We even saw some friends from Abilene, including Garrett who we ran into 3 times amid the 20,000+ fans.
Brandon's mom has been here the past few days, so we have enjoyed hanging out during the day, exploring Wichita, and visiting at games.
Enough for now; got to get off the computer.
