Ok, going from 30 degrees and two feet of snow to 80 degrees and green, green surroundings totally rocks. The red-eye flight to get to Palm Beach was a little brutal, but oh so worth it! We got there around 10 am Wednesday and then headed over to the practice fields. We spent about 5 hours watching some minor league games. I was a little too excited about sitting in the sun and put on sunscreen way too late. Now I've got sweet tan lines on my arms and my painful sunburn is peeling like crazy. I didn't quite get that the sun is a little more intense in Florida than it is in New York (at sea level).
Thursday was the Cards-Marlins game, Friday was the Cards-Orioles and Saturday was the Cards-Twins. Each game we had awesome seats (every seat is pretty awesome at that stadium) and I loved how close we were to the game - physically and having a little inside scoop on the players from Clayton. Friday we also saw Clayton throw a few practice innings in the morning before the other game. We got lots and lots of baseball in - spring training is like baseball heaven. We really enjoyed going down there and are definitely ready to go back again! Clayton will be playing for the Cardinals' double A team in Springfield, MO, which means he skips a level and will be two steps away from the big league team.
Audrey was a perfect little angel for her grandparents. She put herself to bed every night, had no potty accidents and was a happy little girl the whole time. She was really excited to see me when I picked her up last night, and that has to be one of the most heart-warming things ever. She kept giving me hugs, kisses and was all grins the rest of the night. She had a good time with her cousins but was definitely happy to see her momma. :)

Hi, I got your blog from your brother, Elder Mortensen. We just had him over for dinner tonight and I thought I would let you know what a wonderful missionary he is. My husband was just baptized in Feb and he helped teach my husband the discussions. We have really enjoyed getting to know him over the past 3 months. He has such a strong testimony of the gospel and it has been a blessing having him come to our home each week. We have come to appreciate and respect him so much and he is such an example to our family. You must be so proud of him!
