I am happy to say that after a week of all the "unknown" in Chicago, Chase seems to be settling down and finding his place. He finally found some housing that is suitable, he has a french roommate and then two others moved in this weekend. He is relishing the fact that he is just a block or two away from Michigan Ave. and his commute to work takes only an hour. From what I hear, that is pretty good. I can't imagine doing it myself, but he is young and is learning so much that it doesn't bother him a bit.
According to his blog, he is now in charge of a project for the Ronald McDonald House Charities and therefore must seem to be doing well to have that kind of responsibility after only one week there. Needless to say we are proud parents. Hopefully we will be sent a few pictures to post. If there is one person that keeps himself busy, it is Chase. I think he got that from his father....and something that I love about both of them.
On another note, Chase's brother Jake, is playing baseball this summer for the Hi-Toms summer league in Thomasville NC. Chase did this two summers ago and now Jake is having a blast as well. They travel to many different areas of NC, play games, come home and do it all over again. You have to love baseball to be playing every day in this heat. Great experiences for these guys and great friendships are formed. If you are looking for a fun night at a ball park, come on out to Finch Field and watch the Hi-Toms. It is a great atmosphere along with loads of fun and entertainment. Look for Jake in the bullpen, that's where he'll be.
Until next time,
