Baseball Baseball Baseball!!!!!

Holly, Ryan's sister came down last Monday to hangout with us and go to a Twins game vs. the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago on Wednesday. The seats we had were GREAT! We were so close to the field, it's definitely the closest I've ever been at a baseball game. 1st base line, 14 rows up! We seriously could have walked straight onto the field...it was awesome. Then the game started. Of course we went to the game to cheer for the Twins because we were definitely not gonna cheer for the Sox anyway. It was fun until the 4th inning when the Twin's gave up 7 runs. In one of the following innings the Twins scored, so we stood to cheer...and some stupid Sox fans threw peanuts at us (like three times). Granted I have always heard Sox fans to be Jerks, but seriously... Then, the game ended and Twins lost (which was definitely sad), so as we were walking back to our car to go home, people continued to give us crap and use choice words against the Twins. This is what put me over the edge to "Absolutely Despise " the Sox. If the Sox would have lost, I think I could have taken the crap...but come on...they won the game and still felt the need to be royal jerks. It will be my life goal to cheer for whichever team is playing against the Sox.

Although we weren't able to go to the game on Thursday, it was AMAZING to listen to. If you didn't hear...the Twin's beat the Sox 20-1. Holly, Ryan and I said it would have been so much fun to be at that game, but with the way Sox fans are when they win, I'm not sure we would have made it out alive! I for sure would have been scared for my life. Even though I am a Seattle Mariners fan, it was so satisfying for the Twins to beat the Sox!

You might ask, "how can you cheer for the Twins if you are a Mariner fan?" well since my husband and his entire family are Twins fans, I came to the decision that I can cheer for the Twins so long as they are not playing against the Mariners. So if by chance it comes down to the Mariners vs. Twins in the AL playoffs, Ryan and I won't be on speaking terms during the duration of the series.

We came up to Minnesota for Memorial Day weekend, and today we are going to go to the Metrodome to see the Twins play again. This time we will be surrounded by fans that like us...that will be NICE!!! Hopefully the Twins can pull out a win again!!!

P90X

So...this weekend Ryan and I started the P90X program. If you don't know what the program is you should check this out. P90X program Wow is it intense! I know quite a few people who either have done it or are doing it as well. Even though the next 3 months are going to be difficult...I'm really excited though because I can afford to lose quite a bit of weight. Not only is the workout hard, the other tough part is the fact that since I don't have time after school most days to workout, I'm attempting to wake up at 5:30am to workout before school. And those of you who know me....I am NOT a morning person. I survived the first 5:30am wake up and workout today...I guess this means that I need to start going to bed much earlier than before.

It is great to have Ryan doing it with me too, even though he is doing the classic and I'm doing the lean, because it should help to keep the motivation up. We can definitely encourage one another to keep going! Another reason why I KNOW I will complete this is because we paid for it....I'm not one of those people who can buy something (especially when it ain't too cheap) and just let it sit.

Well, I'm writing this on my lunch break at work, so I better go eat lunch now! Look forward to more updates about how the workout is going!!!
