I played on the same Battle Creek city softball league on Friday nights with Jon and many of our friends. We both received our open water certifications for scuba diving in 2002. I enjoy watching NASCAR racing on TV and at the tracks. I also follow some of the baseball players that we have became friends with when we served as a host family for the Michigan Battle Cats.
