SOFTBALL!!!

So I started practice for softball the other night and I was back in the swing of things after 30 minutes! It's a miracle I still know what I'm doing. Hahahaha. I have played softball for 14 years and then I quit for like 4 to 5 years and now I'm back to play! I went and got some new gear the day before practice. I love it but theres nothing worse then a new mitt!!!! I would rather have it broken in than new any day! Those of you who have played probably wouldn't agree more! So far I've practiced two nights in a row and luckily I'm not too out of shape! I've still got some quirks to work out but so far I love being back on the field. It's kind of like a breath of fresh air.The weather here today started out sunny and beautiful and now it's supposed to rain and snow tonight. I am so not looking forward to that at all! It's spring mother nature not winter!!! Work with me would ya!?!?!?! It seems the closer to summer it feels the weirder the weather gets! Oh well life goes on. I still have yet to write about bristol and post comments and I am so sorry for that but I will be all over that tomorrow for sure so stay tuned!!!

Updates, Tracks, and Cats!

Well, I just decided to that it's probably time to fill everyone in with what I am doing. I have moved up to Entiat Wa, and I love it. Well, let me take that back I did love it, now I am having second thoughts. I have amazing new friends up there. The people in that town are completely different than from any other. The always wave when you drive by, always there to lend a helping hand, and are like a family that you just become part of. So far I have had a blast. I have met lots of new friends, had life changing experiences and a new respect for the phrase never take anything forgranted!!! So why am I second thoughting you are wondering? This sounds like a great place??? It is a great place but I now have "company". No we aren't talking out of town relatives or unwanted friends I'm talking cats, and not just any cats.... COUGARS. Oh yes thats right. Last monday March 17th, I came across one crossing the road about 2 miles below my house. Then Sunday night rolls around and as I was out on the deck I noticed something running through the horse pasture and towards me. Being aware of the fact that we have coyotes and cougars in the area I ran back in the house and shut the door. But before I had turned to run I got a great look at a COUGAR. Oh yes my second spotting in one week. Nothing more exciting and heart ponding than that. Talk about being freaked out beyond belief. I had no idea what to do so my first instict was run in the house and lock the doors. Which I did then I called some fellow Entiat friends who told me they can't get in the house just stay inside and all will be fine. Yeah right... are you kidding me?? I'm supposed to be easy about having a huge cat outside my house prowling around??? NOT hardly. Well you can bet that every light in that house was on the rest of the night, inside and out. The TV's were cranked up to the max and the radios were going in every room. The next day, (yesterday) went smoothly at work, signed up for softball, went and updated some new gear for the season and headed back to cougar country. I had some friends come over and their husbands and we all had pizza for dinner. My friends husbands went out and scoped the place and checked everything out and no surprise to me there were tracks EVERYWHERE!!!
