EVAN LOOOOONGORIA

$26 ticket, 2:30 game, $8 parking, 35,041 people, cowbells, mohawks, #3 hits 2 home runs in his first two at bats, The White Sox LOSE 6-4 in the Rays first ever play off game, PRICELESS!  

Mark "won" the ticket lottery for the Rays post season game.  Which meant we "won" the opportunity to BUY tickets.  We bought four to game one and four to game two.  This is another of the strange things that you just do because well, it is fun.  We had not idea when he bought the tickets what day or time the games would be. We only knew that the Rays made it to the play offs and we wanted to go.   It is one of the those opportunities you have to jump on or the tickets will be gone.   The tickets sold out in one day.  

I can not tell you how much fun I had yesterday.  It was not easy to orchestrate the actual going to a 2:30 game on a Thursday when your school age child gets out of school in the 2 o'clock hour and your the pool car driver.  Then there are two other little ones at home that need to be watched over in order to actually go to the game.  Thanks to the ladies that helped me!  

I think it was the most exciting baseball game I have ever attended.  I actually watched every pitch and just had a great time.  Evan Longoria, ROCKS!  23 years of age, a fairy tale in the making.  He wasn't even drafted to play baseball from high school and he is making baseball history.

I almost cried yesterday, really.  Watching them come out of the field as the ALCS camps was so cool for them.  You know you have been there at the top of your "game" you know the feeling and you can feel the excitement for them.  I was teary eyed over BASEBALL!  I got the post season fever.  GO RAYS!

GO RAYS! I have been so "into" postseason, Alyssa thinks I am cuckoo. I am so psyched that they beat the Sox Sunday night. We are recording Game 1 of the World Series since it will start before AWANA ends Wed night. Evan is da bomb!

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......

On our 13 hour car ride to our new dwelling place I had to drop Mark and Delta off at the Chattanooga airport to get his truck. He flew from Chattanooga to St. Pete to come home to drive with us to our new digs.  Chattanooga is the closest airport other than Birmingham (1.5 hours away) that flies directly to Tampa/Saint Petersburg.  The Chattanooga airport is two hours from our new house.  This meant that I got to drive by myself with the kids for the last two hours of the very long trip.  Of course all the kids fell asleep, which is not good when you are leaving your hometown of almost 30 years. First time on the trip it was quiet.  Most days that would be a blessing, but this Sunday was not the case.  I needed noise to keep my mind from thinking about all that was happening.     So what does any girl do in a time like this?  I called my mom. One of the few times I am thankful for the invention of the cell phone.  The drive from Chattanooga to our house is so pretty and there are so m...
