Let's just say that Chase had quite the summer with baseball. The College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska was his third in a row, the team's fourth, but still not the outcome that all would have wanted. The guys were so disappointed, but even more so in knowing that those games would be the last that they would play together, ever. Many were drafted or graduated and so the friendships will move on in different directions. A sad time for them in so many ways.
After a day's rest.....Chase joined up with Team USA in Cary and had a thrilling time. They played in Cary, NC until July 6th and then went on to Tokyo, Japan and finished up in Prince George, Canada where they won the World Challenge! He arrived back home in late July just in time to help his roommates move into the apartment and have a couple weeks before classes started again.
As for his health, Chase is doing very well. He had a scheduled MRI during the summer that he missed due to being out of the country. I keep hounding him to set up another one, but you know most 21 year olds, they have their own schedules and if they feel fine, he really doesn't think it is necessary. But, as his mother, I disagree!!! :-( We will see who wins this battle. hee hee
On another note, Jake, Chase's younger brother has now started college at UNCW and so the two of them are doing more chatting, aka. texting. I am happy that they are in touch with each other and both doing well. Jake will be a part of the baseball team down there as well. We are thrilled to be pulling for both the Heels and the Seahawks!
I will post pictures at another time, school has started and there is much to do.
September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, please help spread the word and wear a yellow ribbon if you have one.
