Home Is Wherever I'm With You

Last June Adam got drafted. And three days later he was gone. Off to Arizona and then to Montana for his start at professional baseball. I stayed in Utah to work. With a good job and good friends, it seemed like the best option. So from June until October we lived apart. Yeah, it was hard. It was tough. I would always have people telling me I was so strong and they didn't know how I did it. But let me start by saying, I don't regret a second of it. Adam was living his dream and I was able to support him in that by staying in Utah to work. And I got to see him at least once a month while we were apart. On Sunday he went back to Arizona for his throwing program and he is officially starts his Spring Training on January 30th. But this time, I am going with him!

That is right! The Skinnys are MOVING to Arizona. I am extremely nervous and also really excited. I cannot wait to have more months with my husband. He will still be gone for months in the summer to play where he is assigned, but I get to live with him in Arizona during the off season, spring training, and fall ball! That gives us at least three extra months together. I was offered a new position at a Marriott property in downtown Phoenix as the banquet manager - so the opposite side of events from what I am doing now. Adam and I will be living at the hotel for a few weeks while we search for an apartment, but we are hoping to get a two bedroom so come visit us and we will have a place for you to stay! 

I am really going to miss Utah. I have been living here for the last six and a half years. I've had the best memories, made incredible friends, and I am going to miss it all. But it is a new chapter for us and I cannot wait to see what this adventure brings! So come say your good byes, because we will be out of Utah by the end of the month!
