With Tayler's season at Southern Virginia coming to a close, I thought I'd give a little recap in pictures of the experience and how I learned to be a baseball wife.
Step 2: Look like you know what you're doing by having a scorebook. At one of Tayler's first games, one of the first baseball games I had ever watched, I noticed a girl sitting in front of me with a notebook. She was keeping track of every play and I remember thinking that she was the real deal. Tayler's mom sent me the score book she used to keep for him in high school and when they came up to visit last month she taught me how to use it. I'm not positive I'm doing it right, but it's nice that Tayler's a pitcher because it's easy to gauge his progress. Sometimes I just count how many times he throws the ball and apparently that's a valuable statistic so I feel like a good wife saying things like, "76 pitches today, nice work babe!'

Step 3: Even if you don't know baseball and clap at the wrong time, it's the fact that you're there to support him that matters. Good game or bad game, Tayler would always come out of the dugout to thank me for coming. Haha like I had anywhere else to be, but it showed me how much it meant to him.
Baseball has taken us to Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, North Carolina and Pennsylvania in these past three months. I've improved my east coast driving and he's had the chance to play the game he loves. We've discovered that dryer sheets belong in baseball shoes and fruit roll ups are still a fantastic post-game snack. We have met some wonderful people and formed friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime! It's been a wonderful season, but I'm so excited for all the free time we'll have together now. Until next year CAC.
This is the cutest post I have ever seen in my life I LOVE YOU!
