So, Genna is waiting for word on her many law school applications. Like all things that require patience this is not coming easily. The truth is that we have put our lives on hold to a degree while we wait to find out if we'll be relocating or staying put.
We're lucky to be free from a lease to reak or any contracts to cancel. The truth is that it's just lame having to wait. Luckier still, we know that with the different options we've got a loose gam eplan on how to make each of them work. Truthfully, it would be best to stay in the area since the least amount of change would be needed. Still, the idea of moving sometimes feels pretty good.
Until the answer comes we'll just have to check the mail and hope for the right envelope. It's a lot like my mission call. The difference here is that I'm sure it won't be someplace overseas. Well, at least that's what Genna said when she told me the list of schools she applied to.

Spring Training
Better late than never!
Genna and I got a chance to spend the first weekend of March in Arizona with her parents. We soaked up the sun, great company, delicious food, and baseball.
In three days we hoped to see two baseball games. Once we got there Genna thought it would be cool to catch a third. That Friday we drove down to Scottsdale and bought some tickets off a guy on the street. (Genna was so mad at me. He seemed a little shady and I gave him all the cash we had.) What we got in return was two seats 5 rows back from the field for less than 40 bucks. It was so much fun. We also got to meet Gaylord Perry, the Hall of Fame pitcher.
The next two games were equally fun. Genna's parents joined us and we saw games at two other stadiums. It's amazing how close the stadiums are. The fans are totally awesome too. We were not doing anything out of the ordinary by going to all these games in a short period of time. Most of the people we met were traveling with the Giants too.
It was also great to see Craig, Linda, and Walker. Walker may have felt a bit differently though. While we were there I went outside with him one night. Out of habit I shut the sliding door, something that Craig and Linda weren't always doing when he went out. Not long after we got out he decided to go in, full-speed. Dog plus glass door equals loud bang and yelping pooch. It was awful, but I'm guessing he proceeds with caution more often now.
This was a well needed Spring Break for Genna and I. Thanks to Craig and Linda for making it happen. They have a beautiful condo down in Mesa. Now I know where Genna gets her good taste from.

Well, for the time being this is all I've got. We have a lot of fun planned this year and I'm sure we'll share it with the blog readers out there. (I hope someone is reading this.)
