Chanc and I had the amazing opportunity to go to California on April 27th to go see Mitch Talbot play against the Anaheim Angels! He is on the Cleveland Indians and is doing a spectacular job! Chanc was friends with Mitch and played baseball with him since they were little kids and they have kept in touch through the years so when we got the chance to go see him play in the big leagues we were stoked!

Chanc randomly posted on Facebook that we wanted to go to the game and he got a message from Alonzo Ashworth inviting him to ride with his family in a HUGE 15 passenger van to the game!

We started our journey at 7 AM and hopped on the freeway California bound! We took quite a few potty breaks and A LOT of food stops! It seemed like all we did was eat drive and sleep! I slept most of the way there! Also most of the way back! SURPRISE!

Once we got to California we stopped by a local Target and bought stuff to make posters! It was a blast everyone was so creative and we sat in Targets little eating area for at least a half hour brainstorming and making our posters! I know the locals thought we were totally crazy!

At the game we sat in the same area but were a little scattered! We sat next to Alonzo and Carly!

We screamed, acted like idiots, spent way to much money on snacks, and jumped up and down with our posters! It was just such an Amazing feeling to see Mitch out there doing such an amazing job! I remember watching Chanc play against Mitch when we were in High School which was so cute and fun! Chanc and I are so proud of him for following his heart and living his dream! It was fun to see his parents look at him and how they were just so proud of him and everything he has accomplished!

After the game was over we got to go down to some lounge by the visitors team clubhouse and Mitch came out to talk to us! He was all wrapped up and stuff I don't know all the details but I'm sure they were just prepping his shoulder and taking great care of it so he can play over and over again! He is doing so great!

Chanc and I set our DVR to watch ESPN every night that he plays so we can watch little clips of him and hear them say his name "Mitch Talbert" seems to be the usual thing they call him, he said he has stopped correcting people because so many people get it right kids! its MITCH TALBOT! Once we talked to him for a while we hopped back in the van and made it back to Cedar at about 6 AM! Then Chanc and I had to both work on Wednesday! It was a quick 24 hours but worth every second of it! I hope we can see him play again but it was a first great game to catch! Thanks everyone for such an amazing trip! Thanks to the Ashworth's for getting us there and back safely and taking such great care of us! I am sure Chanc and I will talk about this trip for a very very long time! Congrats again Mitch! You rock!
