Red Sox-Yankees, April 20th, 2007



For Chris' 30th birthday, which is quickly approaching, I bought him 2 tickets to see the Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park. The weather was perfect--lower 70's with a slight breeze. It was certainly a nice break from all the rain we've been having as of late. Chris and I left for the game rather early, in order to take in all the festivities. We actually were able to watch some of the players arriving at the Stadium. David Ortiz, who is pictured on the left, arrived in his pimped-out, white Escalade with the song, "This Is Why I'm Hot" pumping through the open windows. It was rather amusing seeing each player drive up in their different vehicles. I guess we assume each must drive a flashy, pimped-out vehicle, like Ortiz', but that wasn't the case. Mike Lowell drove a white GMC Yukon, Mike Timlin drove a VW SUV, Varitek drove a Volvo SUV and several others did drive Hummers. It was a neat experience. The game was great too. We sat in the pavillion section, which is an elite club area. We had access to a restaurant, cushioned
seats and in seat waitress service. The Red Sox dominated the game and ended up winning 7-5. Chris was thrilled because we not only saw Beckett pitch most of the innings, but Papelbon came in as closer. He is the player pictured to the left. It was a fun experience and hopefully a most memorable birthday.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
