Yesterday, October 14th, 2009, marked our 4th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been 4 years!?! Craziness! It seems like just the other day we were planning for all the hoopla! But what a great 4 years it's been. :) So yesterday I drove my fabulous husband into work and then came home and we both worked full days. Then I went to a 5:15 TaeBo class, grabbed some Sonic Drive-thru for dinner (mm, tater tots) and met Ryan in the very fancy lobby of his Lockheed work building, where we dined on our take-out... after eating he changed into his softball gear and we headed north to Arvada for his Wednesday league game at 8:15pm.
The game was a real nail-biter... whichever team was at bat, was the team winning, which was scary because Ryan's was the visiting team, so they would not have had the last bat! However, at the end of regulation, it was tied, so it went into "extra innings" which has all different rules (to keep us from sitting out there all night long, kind of like "sudden death" in football/soccer). Each player only gets ONE pitch... if you don't swing and it's a strike, you're out. If you swing and it's a foul ball, you're out. If you swing and miss, you're out. If you don't swing and it's a ball, you get to take first base. And if you swing and make fair contact, then the ball is in play. Sheesh! Anyways, our team was able to produce 4 runs during this wacky inning, but when the home team came to bat, they were only able to produce 2 runs, so we won! Hooray! Ryan played like a crazy-man out there. The catcher on the other team said to him about half-way through the game when he came up to bat, "Hey, no more of that monkey business in the field, huh?"... HAHAHA! He was THRILLED with how well he played, but boy is he feeling it this morning... achy braky back (and neck!)... :)
We got home at around 10:30 and hit the hay. And that was our 4 year anniversary. :)
We plan to celebrate out to a nice dinner at the Brown Palace Hotel's Palace Arms Restaurant in downtown Denver either this coming Tuesday night, or in a couple weeks when things slow down for us a bit. Either way, we will honor our special day with a special dinner sometime soon.
Here we are, the happy couple, this past Sunday at the Rockies' NLDS Game 3... it was MAYBE 30 degrees when the game STARTED at 8pm and probably closer to 18 degrees when the game finished at midnight. We were SO bundled up we looked like Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum... and to top it all off, we bought some 2XL shirts at WalMart to sport over our 80 layers of warmth, just to show our team flare. :)
Oh yeah, and I'm still pregnant... uh huh, you betchya... just entered my 3rd Trimester and am doing GREAT. For more info on that, you can check out my OTHER blog, as usual, since that's where I talk about all things pregnancy and family. :)
Later taters,
