Back in November when we decided to get married the decision was wether we should get married before or after the baseball season... I am ever grateful that we chose January and before the baseball season! It has been fun watching Carly at the ball games and seeing her realize why people warned her about being a baseball wife ;-)
We have been enjoying our honeymoon season as Carly has been to more baseball in two months of marriage than the previous 23 years as a lonely single woman. She is no longer lonely as she has such a wonderful husband to spend time with! Carly has flown to Vegas, driven to Price and also to Vegas, and is planning another road trip to Southern Idaho next weekend all for the love of the game. The winter boots have come in handy on several occasions keeping her warm at the ballpark.
We really have enjoyed the time we spend together on the road and at home. We have had a bit of a rollercoaster season with some inconsistant performances. I have tried not to let that affect my mood... but at times it has lead to some fun conversations following a long weekend. Carly has been wonderful and we both enjoy a passion for what we do. She is getting to know the baseball players, some of the wonderful families, and many of the individuals that I work with. We are blessed for the goodness of the people we are surrounded with.
All in all... We are happy being married and learning and growing together!

The Ward Choir Experience
It all started during our first sacrament meeting together as a married couple. We were singing the opening hymn and I leaned over to Derek to ask what part he likes to sing. "What's a part?" He said. "I just sing what sounds good to me." Well...
A couple weeks later we were cornered in the lobby on our way out of church. Somehow word got out I was a good piano player and the choir was desperate for my help. The choir director even told Derek if he was tone deaf and a baseball coach, he was still needed in the choir. So we took of our coats and headed to the chapel.
It felt good to play the piano again. But the best part was watching Derek's expressions. He had no idea what to do. I later found out he was singing everything from the soprano line to the piano accompaniment. He thinks the girls in the row ahead of him were talking about it. He was later instructed that he was a bass and finally figured out the bottom two lines were for the piano only. Just in time for the performance he found out when he was supposed to sing, and it was beautiful.
