yakima here he comes




so, we just got back from yakima! 10 hours over and back. we left at noon, got there at 2:30 after the little boy in the car had to stop for a potty break (and i'm not talking about ned). we checked out the campus at yakima valley. that took about 5 minutes but it's a very nice campus. only takes up one HUGE city block. nice new buildings though. went over to the dorms. they are your typical dorms. nothing fancy AT ALL! right across from the school.




anyway, we met the head baseball coach at 5 and he is a really nice man. about 45. been coaching there for 5 years. thought we'd only talk to him for an hour but 2 hours later we were still there. went over everything with us and it looks like ned will go at the end of sept. he asked about church and told ned that if he can't play on a sunday (only have a few sunday pre-season games. otherwise they play double headers on weds. and sats.) just to let him know ahead of time. he seems like a real family man.

earlier in the day we were driving around and 2 elders were riding their bikes down the road so we stopped them and asked where the singles ward met so after meeting with the coach we went over to the church building and the branch pres. was coming over to the building so we met him. makes me feel better that we made that connection.

so, before we left i took a picture of ned and the field. i know, he needs a hair. has one month to have it long!

love you all, mom

Hey, good lookin' blog! It sounds like you had a good time and we are really excited for Ned. (Tim is especially) Tell Ned everyone was asking about Chloe... they thought they were very cute together.
