Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

So the Mariners were in town this past weekend!! A while back, Sterlings parents showed interest in going to a game with us so we made plans to go to the Saturday game. THEN, Brent and Brett called and surprised me by telling me they got tickets for the Friday night game! 2 Mariners games in a row! I didn't know what to do with myself.

 I love baseball so much. I love the sounds of the bat and the crowd, the smells of hotdogs and spilled beer, the tastes of hot dogs and spilled beer, and the entire atmosphere and joy of the game. Being in crappy Tropicana field reminds me of going to the Kingdome as a kid. So many good memories with the family. Baseball is family time to me. 

Friday night:

Sterling and I went with Brent and Brett. Our seats were in the Whitney Bank Club seats, which included unlimited food, beer and wine. YES PLEASE. And as if it couldn't get any better?? Felix Hernandez, the King himself, was pitching. 

 This is a view from our seats. With food and booze behind us. AWESOME.

The boy and I. 

Felix pitched a hell of a game, but we just couldnt' come through for him. It was definitely a pitchers duel. It was a fun evening with good friends, good food, good booze and some good baseball. 

Saturday:

Sterling parents, Mike and Rosetta, Sterling and I drove over in the rain for the Saturday night game. This game was a different dynamic. We had a rookie pitching and poor Charlie Furbush just couldn't find his stuff. We got stomped by the Rays. 

 Our seats were amazing. 7th row. I feel like I could have chatted with them while they were on deck. 

Sterling's mom and I had a good time checking out this gorgeous piece of man :)

I always enjoy my time with Mike and Rosetta and I am very much looking forward to spending more time with them in the Bahamas!!

At one point during the Friday night game, Sterling leaned over to me and said "I think I need to buy a Mariners hat for tomorrow nights game" My heart stopped. I had never heard such a beautiful sentence. As if I needed another reason to Love him THAT much more! Music to my ears. I think he makes a pretty cute Mariners fan, don't you think? I was a pretty good Falcons fan during football season too (sorry Seattle).

Baseball and people I love make me a happy girl.
