Hey Everyone!!! I prolly wont have many readers because I haven't posted a blog in what almost a year!!! I know there is a reason why I haven't posted in foverever.....the reason is I don't like to post blogs!!! So you may wonder why am I posting one then and the answer is I know that you guys are so interrested in my life that you have to hear all about it!!! I also know my life isn't as exciting as you guys and sometimes I wish it was. Some examples Dan and Launi have an awesome life in Bixby. They have their jobs that they both like and they just got back not too long ago from their cruise. Now is that cool or what. And Dustin travels all over the world with his company doing amazing shows (they are amazing because he makes them amazing). Derick and Katie live in Locust Grove, OK which is, a lot of the time, where I want to be!!! They are able to just go over to Dad and Mom's house anytime they want and chill out which is awesome, and I am so happy for them. So now to compare my life to these awesome people in my life is very hard to do! So I will try my hardest. Well I have school which is a blast to say the least, and yes I am being sarcastic! I do enjoy Accounting a little bit but the only reason why I like that class is because everyone else struggles with it and I don't that much!!! Baseball is alright but the practices are long and boring. I won't be able to pitch in a real live game for like 6 months which is torture in itself and to add practice to that is just plain wrong! One thing I do enjoy is lifting weights! We have an awesome trainer who really knows how to connect to me and my teammates and gives us a desire to lift weights. I haven't gained my 20 lbs of pure muscle but in the near future I might you never know. The weekends are awesome even though we have practice on saturadays (right in the middle of the day 12:30-4:00). Last Sunday we went to Panther Falls and also jumped off a bridge (You can see those pics on facebook) and so that was a blast!!! Well God is doing amazing things in my life right now and I hope you can say the same thing about your life, I really do miss everyone from back home and I can't wait until I can see ya'll again!!!!

      With Great Love,

Well I pitched yesterday and we won 14-6! So I got another win so I am now 2-2. I had 2 earned runs in five and a third innings so it was a pretty good game. The pitching coach from Liberty, Virginia was there and he wants me to take a trip out too Virginia not this weekend but next weekend! I am pretty excited about going, plus two of my buddies on the team are going with me! So I am glad that the guys that are coming with me are some of the guys that I like on the team. The only catch that pretty much ruins that trip is that I leave Friday morning and Marcia comes in to California Friday night. So she will have to wait until I come back on Saturday night. That part sucks and if I could go any other time I would but its not possible. So that's my dilema and its not flying to well with Marcia but I would be mad too if I were her. Its all in God's hands and so I think it will all work out for the best. I am happy that Katie and Derick has a new addition to the family and I am sure it will grow up to be a good strong canine! Well I gotta go run a ping pong tournament so I love you guys and I can't wait to see your beautiful faces again!!!!

Hey everybody!! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while! Oh well. Well I will tell you a little about what's going on! I can't tell you everything or you guys won't call me! Well yesterday I had the priveledge of eating supper on the beach with the Pitching coach for Liberty Virginia! It was a blast we had extremely expensive food (Well for me anyways) and talked about Baseball. What could me important that food and baseball(Besides God, Family and of course Marcia)? So the coach is going to stay and watch our practice today and the game tomorrow and after he watches me pitch we are going to talk some more. So yea I won't decide anything because there are still a lot of colleges out there so I like to keep my options open. Well changing the subject I really miss home a lot! There are so many things that I miss about home. The main thing that I miss is the people that I love! I can't wait to see you guys!!! We better have a coming home party! I want Balloons, Food, Presents, and confedi(I think that's how you spell it)! Oh yea I want some home made ice cream also. So yea I will keep you guys posted on when I come home and if there is anything else I want at this party!

  I don't know if you guys know this or not but Marcia and I are getting along great. It sucks that we can't see each other all the time but we manage. She is an amazing person and on top of that she is beautiful! My time in California would be a lot harder if we weren't together. I mean could you imagine me dating a Californian? That would be horrible, plus Brazillians are way better! Well I have said enough and i hope this will bring in lots of comments. Until next post see ya'll later!!!

Well I am here in California for 9 more days and then I get to go back to the best state in the nation. Well maybe not the best state but better than California. I miss my family a lot, and I am very excited about my brother getting married. Its crazy to think that someone that close to me is getting married and moving on with his life. I never knew that Derick was going to find the love of his life before I was. Katie is a special person and there is no one else that I would want to marry my brother. When Daniel got married it kind of opened my eyes to how much time has flown by, but now it has hit me even harder. And to answer Katie's comment on the last one I do like Marcia a lot. She is very special to me and I like her more than any girl in the past. She is a lot different than the rest of the girls and that is in a good way. She keeps my in line, but she doesn't where the pants in the relationship. I am happy that she likes my family and my family likes her. I was even amazed that Derick liked her. Well I better do some homework for finals.

Well first I will start with how baseball is going in California, because that is pretty much all I do here in this weird but extraordinary state. At the beginning of the fall I didn't do very well. My mechanics were off and I no clue how horrible I was. My first scrimmage I gave up a homerun and a couple of hits in the first inning, and that made me realize that something horrible was wrong. I was then dedicated to find out how to get better and be able to dominate. The next week coach made me throw sidearm which was one of the hardest things to do because I have never pitched like that. After a week of throwing sidearm he told me to now throw normal and in doing so my arm slot was at a 3/4 angle, which is between side arm and strait over the top, rather than strait over the top. I know this info is boring but its my life. Ever since then I have learned how to put movement on my fastball which slows the speed down by 2 or 3 mph but is more difficult to hit. My curveball is better and change up is decent. I haven't been able to dominate yet and I don't know if I ever will but things are looking great for me and I am excited about this week because its my last week of baseball before we get a month off. The individual meetings are next week and coach will tell me what my roll will be in the spring which is exciting but scary also. So I will need some Prayer and encouragement. lol.
