new mexico here we come...

Scratch that. Here he comes. Reese and Mommy are headed back to Reese's namesake.

Dallas got sent down yesterday. I know what your thinking...this terrible. But wait, hold on. I've always been a glass half full kinda gal so hear me out. Here goes, my take on this situation...

Number one: He uses up his last option. Okay, so for those of you who are not up-to-date on the joys of professional baseball, you have 3 options the team can use whenever they please to send you to the minors. If you spend at least 20 days in the minors an option is used. They can send you down as often as they like within a one year period. This is the reason you are excited as a player to "use them up." So, this will be his last one! See, there are positives in everything...

Number two: He can just play baseball again. Not only does Dallas always start slow (he has never made the team out of Spring Training, he has a long swing that takes a while to perfect & um, perhaps the most obvious...He hasn't played baseball in over a year!! So, some time in AAA figuring it out is a good thing...

Number three: He might, just might, become good friends with Julia Roberts and introduce me to her. I've always thought we could be fast friends. We're both Georgia girls. Brunettes. Moms. Practically twins! Okay, it's a stretch but I needed a third good reason!

Other than the long early morning plane rides, crappy stadiums, questionable hotels, three hour time difference, not seeing Reese & me for a while, and the fact that he is in Albuquerque, where are the negatives?

Kidding. It will be hard to be apart. Dallas and I are so close. Reese is loving him so much right now and I'm afraid he's about to miss her first steps. Have I mentioned this chick is practically walking? We'll talk about that another day, but she is moving on down the coffee table every chance she gets. Anywho, this will be hard. I am going to fly to see him every 2-3 weekends and that will be good for us. We are praying that he is healthy and finds his swing fast! We leave Sunday to Atlanta. I am excited to see all my friends and family again. I'll blog more tomorrow. Meme gets here at midnight tonight!! Yeah..the meme trains a comin' which is good news for mommy & daddy!!

Oh...the pic is from today. I watched her from the other room and she was standing up holding onto anything she could find! This one was my favorite from today.
