Here are some pictures from our work outing to the Diamondbacks game in their last year of spring training in Tucson! My office went together to see them WHOOP on the Dodgers yesterday! Everyone had a great time, and EVERYONE got sunburned due to our pasty white, winter skin being exposed to the first warm sunlight of the spring. It was still a great time! We also went to the symphony with my family last night!
It has been a great beginning to 2010 for us overall. We're getting into the groove here in Tucson and even jumping into some new oppurtunities here. Rusty and I have both been starting to work with the junior high group at our church and become more involved there. Two weeks ago we helped the leaders take 25 jr. highers rock climbing at the indoor gym, and this week I got to lead worship for their Friday night meeting.
Another sweet oppurtunity of the new year has been an internship Rusty started last week with the Cleveland Indians (that's a pro baseball team for those that don't know the sports)! He is working (on his day off) with one of the team's physical therapists during spring training in AZ to learn about their rehab program and get a look at the life of a professional sports P.T.! He is practicing throwing programs and rehab protocols with the players. It's a pretty busy time for Rusty right now, but he is really glad to have that chance to see what it would be like. Working with an MLB team is one of his dreams.
Not much else to report. Weather is starting to be absolutely WONDERFUL in Tucson. This is the best time of year in my opinion. We're looking forward to lots of D-backs games, hiking, out of town visitors, 5k runs, orange dream Eegees, and lots more God-given oppurtunities for the summer! Here we go!
Rusty has been keeping busy with work both here in Tucson at Noonan Physical Therapy AND up in Phoenix once a week to work with the Cleveland Indians at their rehab facility. He helps treat minor league players and players from the Indians who are on the disabled list long term. He has also picked up a new hobby in the past few weeks. He joined the local boxing gym and has been taking classes a few times per week there. 
I just returned yesterday from summer camp with the middle school group from my church, The Journey!!!! We took 30 middle schoolers to Forest Home California for a week of fun an learning about God in the mountains, and it was a spectacular time! I learned a whole lot about junior highers, myself, and about the LORD! Thank you for everyone who was praying for the leaders and kids on our trip. It was a great time.
