The Believers

We ended our first slow-pitch softball season on Sunday in seventh place out of ten teams.

We lost seven games, won two and tied one.

And my husband only got into it with the umpire once over a bad call made against me, when a runner slid into second and hit the ball out of my hand with his knee.

I only brought my camera once too, and I only took a few shots (I was the only second baseman, so I had to snag what few shots I could get while we were up to bat.)

Me. (Josh Downs took that one from the dugout.)

Josh's brother, Jamey. (He hits far.)

And Josh.

He ordered the shirts (A lovely shade of OSU Beaver orange of course.) and chose #4444 because four is my favorite number.

And you can see his calf muscles through his socks.

Every Monday morning, Josh would send the team an email to recap Sunday's game. I saved all of them, but here's one of my favorites...

Morning Believers,

That was a fun game! You all played wonderfully in-spite of the sun, wind and big bats. The highlights:

• Louise caught everything thrown at her on first with the sun in her eyes.
• Michelle kept everything in front of her at right even with a bunch of knarly lefties.
• David ran his tail off at Rover.
• Kinsey held her own at home.
• Karen made a bunch of sweet stops and a nice catch at 2nd all while looking great!
• Karen said I shouldn't mention in the email the one fly-ball she dropped, but David thinks I should...what should I do?
• Jamey made a nice catch in left.
• Chris stayed for the whole game.

Until next year Believers!

Love the Harriett on Josh's jersey!! My hubby & I used to play co-ed ball and loved it! Out team didn't always win either, but we had the best fun!!

I know this may sound completely cheesy, but I love the love you guys have for each other. You give me hope that there really is that guy out there.

I love the socks! Why didn't you have any?

Cute!! I hope he means big bats as in the ones you swing with....not the flying kind!! :)

Looks to me like the season score was win-win. And, a good time was had by all...what more could you ask for?

CUTE! I think you have tought Josh Downs quite well how to handle a camera. I love the view point of the shot he took of you! Someday, I will teach my husband how to properly use my camera. (Oh, and Josh's jersey was too cute....in a manly sort of way)

I think this is the first time i have noticed that you typed Josh instead of Josh Downs when you wrote about him in the post. I'm so used to reading Josh Downs that I had to stop and think...."who is Josh?" I'm a little slow today :) Always loving to see your wonderful relationship and happy memories!

I love love you guys na kwa ajili ya kila mmoja. Kunipa matumaini kwamba kuna kweli ni guy kwamba huko nje. Nadhani hii ni mara ya kwanza i niliona kuwa uliyochapa Josh badala ya Josh Downs wakati aliandika juu yake katika post.
