Summer is going fast!

As I lay here on the couch after having back surgery only three weeks ago, I can't help but think about all the wonderful experiences that Chase has had by being able to travel to Chicago via the Eve Carson Scholarship. He calls us on a daily basis and tell us all about the ins and outs of working for a nonprofit organization and how they go about raising money and entertaining some important people in hopes of them "giving" to the organization. He has told us about how the tabs that we all save help out and now there is a commercial with kids and Happy Meals talking about Hope being in every box. Pretty neat and it seems to be right up his alley being that he loves to meet and mingle with others.

He has also been able to spend time doing some of the things that Chicago has to offer. Friends have visited and he has traveled to see one in particular who was playing a baseball game within a few hours. He is certainly one busy young man. He even came home this past weekend to be a groomsman for a high school friend of his. What an experience for him and to be able to see all those buddies of his....what a weekend. You can check out his blog for pictures.
I believe he has only two more weeks up there and then he will head to India to see some other business aspects in another country. All the while trying to move out of one apartment, keep things in a garage and then move into a house with 5 other ball players when he arrives back from India. Does he know what the time difference is???? Whew, to be young again!

The rest of us are doing fine. Jake is in New Orleans doing two weeks of baseball camp at Tulane University. I remember when we would send them both off to Tulane and Buddy and I would use that time as a vacation. Oh, those were the days. Now we barely see the two of them. We do miss our boys, but know they are leading the lives they have chosen and may their paths lead them in to great things.

For those of you who have been wondering, Chase did have a complete MRI about a month ago and he is still "Clean" as we say. God is Good!
Have a great summer and until next time,
Judith~mother of Chase
