I have to start out by saying Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers, Grandfathers, and Fathers-to-be out there! I am very close with my Dad and Grandpa, and I just want to say thank you to them for all the love, guidance, and support. Throughout my softball career, rain (well…in Michigan, more like snow) or shine, my Dad never missed a game; and my grandpa is STILL bragging to his buddies about me. Fathers are so important, and I am very lucky to have such great ones in my life!

The summer has only just begun, and already it has been incredible! From Roger Waters concert at Wrigley Field, Chicago Boat Show, to touring with the Loop Stock Car at Harley Davidson has all gotten me so excited for what is to come!
