Christian's 2nd Birthday Bash!!

Our adorable nephew on Sean's side, Christian... turned 2 on friday.. So we all celebrated his birthday yesterday. It was so fun being with our family and all the little kids.
Christian and his dad Chris wore the same outfit. It was soo cute!
Christian has really grown up a lot while we were gone. He knows so many words and has really become a lil man.
Here are some pictures of the fun day.

Beach Day and BBQ!!

It is soooo good to be home! We have been on the go since we got home... it has been a blast to hang out with our amazing friends and family.
I hope that you enjoy our pictures at the beautiful beaches of San Diego.
San Diego is soo gorgeous.
I cant imagine ever living any where else.. So thankful our lives allow us to live in SD for at least 1/2 of the year.
PS... Kelly Slater was at the beach we were at surfing...
It was really cool! All the guys were pretty excited about it..
So fun watching him surf with Sean and the guys!

Oh how we love San Diego!!

So.... TEAM WALKER IS BACK!!!
We left Virginia Monday night around 9pm...not long after I realized I had a screaming bladder infection... So my sweet husband, unpacked the whole bed of the truck to find a little bottle of antibiotics and pain meds for me.. I knew they were in a box, but which box I didnt know! ha ha.. Well we found them and I started feeling better pretty quickly.
We arrived in Tennessee around 3am and decided to crash for the night.
Tuesday we woke up and headed out for a LONG drive. We covered 1/2 of Tennessee, all of Alabama, and all of Texas in 18 hours. It was a crazy drive with strorm Gustav.. but we did it and we did it safely. Wednesday we woke up for our final day.. Knowing our destination would be Beautiful San Diego!
It was another 10 hour drive, but WELL worth it!
Sean and I had fun playing stupid car games, and making up new tunes and dance moves..
We arrived in La Mesa to the the Walker's palace at around 7pm last night. Sean and I had a nice homemade meal, that we almost fell asleep during, a warm shower, and a comfy bed.
Today we are searching for a place to live... and a job for me.
It sounds like I may have to work night shift again... UGH!!! Please pray that God will open up a job that he wants me to do, and do it well!
Well love you all.. Cant wait to see lots of you soon!
ps.The pics are of our roadtrip and the truck being unpacked.

The most Powerful City in the World!

Sean and i had soo much fun in DC this past week. He played a 4 game series in Potomac( 25min from DC). Sean's good buddy, Jeff Mandel, is a starting pitcher for the Potomac team. SO it was was really fun hanging out with him and his wife Sarah. They were both really good friends of Sean's from Baylor. 

Anyways.. we went into town one day and tried to see as much as we could on foot. We walked for 4 straight hours and covered a lot of ground. We started at Georgetown and walked all over the University. It was SOOO beautiful and us kids were reminiscing being back in college again.  Then we walked the streets of Georgetown which were the cutest streets ive ever seen. The character in the old buildings and shops was fascinating.

After Georgetown we headed to the White house, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and capital.

It was so cool to see all those places again. DC is one incredible city. We wished we could have done more. We were going to go back the next day before the game, but it was raining really hard so we didnt get to go. 

Anyways... it has been a blast since ive been out here.

Love you all!

We only have 3 more games and then onward bound we come! I cant believe its almost over!!

Its crazy. Please continue to pray for Sean. He has been doing phenomonal out here... and best of all his spirits are at an all time HIGH!!

We hope he can have 2 more great outings and then call it a year!

Talk to you all soon!

Back in Salem, VA Again!!

So after all the wedding hoopla in SD,  I flew back to Salem, Va to meet up with Seanny for the last 2 weeks of the season!

It has been so fun!! Sean and I have done something fun everyday. From getting coffee at our favorite coffee shop, Mill Mountain Coffee and Tea, to having  a tea party for 2 at my favorite Victorian Tea house, to going to the batting cages and put put golf, to just laying on a blanket in our favorite park and just chatting, or hangin out eatin pizza with our host family.

It all has been very fun.. plus watching Sean pitch has been soo exciting... 

His approach has completely changed. God has really given him a renewed mind and approach to this game called Baseball. 

He is now in a closer role and he DOMINATES!! Watch out Hoffman!

In the last 10 games his ERA is 1.3.... AWESOME!!

Well just wanted to update you with all that we have been up to!

Remember to enjoy everyday God gives you.. for you NEVER know when your last day may be! I know that may sound morbid.. but that is just something sean and i have been learning soo much.. that we got to live out each day like it could be our last! 

So if we havent told you in a while that we love you.. we do, we love you A LOT! and are so thankful for you!!

Oh what a beautiful day!

I am so blessed to know both Carlos and Jen.

They are another amazing couple who now are married and ready to start their journey bringing joy to our Savior.

Both of their hearts beat so strong for Jesus and love each other soo much!

I met Jen in college, as her RA in finch hall. I had the privilege of watching this beautiful relationship evolve since her sophomore year. I love looking back on those late nights laying in her bed as she would smile from ear to ear telling me stories of Carlos!

I am soo excited for all the memories to come!

Here are some pics from the wedding!

It was one of the funnest weddings Ive ever been to!

Congrats and welcome Team Arias!!
