Cancun

I have posted alot of pictures from my trip to see Lee. I had a great time! It was so good to see his face and just be right beside him (it had been 6 weeks since I last saw him)!! The pictures are in order, so here goes:

I got there Friday afternoon and Lee was pitching that night. I got a couple of good pictures but not as many as I wanted.






This is after the game. It was really hot and humid that night, so I drank beer to hydrate myself:)


Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast. Then we went shopping at this really nice mall. Lee wouldn't take a picture with Spider Man so I did:)

This is at the game Saturday night, I just got a couple of good pictures of the field.

The two guys up to bat are Raul and Pedro, both from Puerto Rico. They speak English and have been really great to Lee.

This is Chacho, the maskot for Cancun. He was actually hilarious and got kicked out of the game on Sunday night for making certain moves behind the 3rd base umpires back.

This was Sunday, we were on our way to the pool at the hotel.

Sunday night at dinner, Lee and Raul.

Raul and his wife, Megan.

You know who.

We had fun Sunday night.

Our ferry to Isla Mujeras (an island off of Cancun) on Monday.

Coconuts that Megan and Raul bought.

And then they were slaughtered, look at that knife!!

The beach.

Lee and Shaggy (another guy from the team).

Lee and I waiting for the ferry back to Cancun.

Raul and Lee at the beach.

It was gorgeous!

The water was so nice.

Pictures of Lee in Mexico

Here are some pictures of Lee! I think these were taken in Oaxaca.

Rundown of the Weekend

How nice a 3 day weekend is! Thursday started off with Lee pitching that evening and doing really well! Once the 3rd inning started the game was delayed because of rain! After about an hour, they called the game. Meredith came up Thursday night to stay the weekend with me. Friday we went to the pool for a while and then did a little shopping before going to see My Sister's Keeper. I read the book a while back and, although it is very sad, it was a great book! The movie was really good but they changed the ending and I like the ending in the book better. Meredith has been sick (just a bad cold) so we took it easy on Saturday. We went to the Ft. Worth Zoo as soon as it opened (to avoid the crowd a little). And we saw so many of the animals, they were all out before it got too hot! I love the zoo and Lee loves that I found someone else to go to the zoo with me:) It did get hot though so we left and headed home to just veg. We went to dinner with Miriam Saturday night and watched fireworks. That same evening my Mom and Dad spent in the ER. Turns out my Dad has pneumonia. He had really high fever and was having trouble breathing but after several hours in the ER they let him go home. He got a shot of steroids and antibiotics. He is home for most of the week to let his body rest. Meredith went home yesterday so now it is back to just me.

I guess that is it for now. Just 4 more days.........till Cancun!!

Cancun....Here I Come!

I can't see straight I am so excited about getting to Cancun and seeing Lee! Just 9 days and counting....

Ryan James Weilbacher

Here are a couple of pictures of Ryan James Weilbacher. Isn't he precious! He arrived June 25, 2009 at 12:41pm. Congratulations again to Allison and Bobby!

Stella and Marcus

Julie sent me some great pictures of Stella and Marcus!

Here is Marcus waving....adorable!



And I love this picture of Stella, her eyelashes are to die for!

Weekend

Friday night Lee did end up pitching for 3 innings before the power went out in the stadium and they called the game. It has been raining so much in Mexico and if the game isn't called or delayed because of rain, the power goes out?! Lee was a bit irritated but only had 48 pitches before he will pitch again on Thursday. I got up early Saturday morning to meet my parents in Terrell to switch cars (they had my window fixed in Tyler). I left the apartment a little after 8am and it should take an hour or less to get to Terrell......but instead, there was a man on the ramp from 360 to 20 East trying to jump. Everything was shut down so that he didn't land on someones car (I suppose). So, it took me two hours to get to Terrell and then I came back on 30 because it was still shut down at 1pm! UGH! I'm sorry this guy was having a mental breakdown but that was a big inconvenience! But I did make it to Terrell and my drivers side window works (thanks Dad!). We ate at IHOP and then I headed back. Went to the pool for an hour but I couldn't handle much more, it was so hot! Saturday night I went to Lee's parents house to celebrate his Aunt's birthday. I posted some pictures below. I had a great time!

My mom gave me these beautiful flowers!

Summer is here

Gracious, it is HOT outside!! Just wanted to update everyone on how Lee is doing and what else is going on. Lee is doing awesome! He has pitched once since I last posted and he dominated!! He is actually supposed to pitch again tonight but he said that it is raining in Puebla and he isn't sure if they will get the game in. I'll post to let you know what happens. He is getting more and more used to the cultural differences and has become friends with a couple of guys on the team that have been great. They have helped him so much and you don't always find that when you are in a new country by yourself (trust me, I know). He has traveled to Oaxacha and Puebla so far (besides playing in Veracruz when he first arrived). He plays against Cancun in July so we are hoping to meet there and I CAN'T WAIT!

I have not had much going on. I went to Tyler for Father's Day and had a great time. It's always nice to go home and just relax. We went to see 'The Proposal' Saturday evening and if you haven't seen it.....I don't recommend it. Just your typical chick flick. I plan on getting some pool time in this weekend and I guess cleaning. And just relaxing. I try to keep myself busy because without Lee here, I just feel blah. I miss him terribly!

I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to keep this updated more than I have so far. Love to all!

June 25, 2009

On a happier note......Bobby and Allison welcomed Ryan James Weilbacher into the world on Thursday, June 25, 2009. He weighed in at 7lbs. I have not been able to see him yet so when I do I'll get pictures and then post them. I am so happy for the Weilbacher's and the new addition to their family!!

June 25, 2009

Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009)

This was the first record I ever bought/owned. I haven't kept up with MJ in several years unless I just hear a blurb on the news. He was an artist with talent I don't think will ever be recreated. I can remember dancing in my room to most all of his music....Beat It comes to mind:) I hope that MJ's life wasn't empty emotionally but I have a feeling it was. I know there were times I judged him harshly for what he was doing to his face but I have never questioned his talent. Other than what I have said, I'm shocked and in disbelief that MJ is gone from this world. I hope he is happier wherever he is now than he was in this life. Rest peacefully! You have brought back the 80's and my childhood....I have loved reliving that in the last two days!
