THIS GUY

So just to add a little to my last post, this guy that works with Roman gave us Braves game tickets.....This guy's name is Pete. He is a great friend!!! He made it possible for the great seats to see the Braves, he made it possible for Tanner and Colson to see their 1st ever Braves game!! He is a GREAT guy!!!! And let me tell you what else he did...He also arranged to get our house cleaned right after my surgery. It was absolutly wonderful! A few guys from Roman's work chipped in and I for one day had a cleaning lady! It was great! So this super awesome guy named Pete who made it possible for Braves game tickets and a clean house has a wonderful wife named Dee Dee and I think she is the one who really got the tickets. But anyway just so everyone know that Pete is not just "this guy that works with Roman."

THE ATLANTA BRAVES

So I took my boys to an Atlanta Braves game last night. I probably over did myself a little, but it was so worth it! Although I thought it was going to be a disaster the way the evening started. Let me back up a little...A guy that works with Roman had 4 tickets to Saturday's game, seats behind 1st base dugout (they ended up being about even with the pitcher's mound, 2nd level-GREAT SEATS) Roman had to work, so I didn't think we couldn't pass up the opportunity, so I took them. The game time was 7:05, I thought about going early for batting practice, but then I thought my boys might be ready to go before the game even started. So we got on the interstate at 4:00 in Perry. Now normally it is about an hour 30min-hour 45 min ride to the stadium, but this was not normally. It took an hour to get from Tanger to the 675 split, I think that is about 20 miles at the most. Then when we get to the stadium exit there is a line about a mile long getting off the exit. It was about 6:00 when we got to the exit, at about 7:00 we had just got off the interstate. Now if I had any sense about myself, I would have just gone up a few exits and tried to work my way back, but NO- I just set there with everyone else, waiting and waiting and waiting. Now I did just have my uterus removed, maybe they removed some brain cells too??? Anyway I ended up dropping Avery and Tanner off right at the front entrance and they went to our seats. It took Colson and I another hour to get around to our designated parking lot. When I got there the lot was full-perfect! A nice officer let me park in an employee lot across the street in a place that wasn't even a parking spot. But it worked and we were finally on our way. A little after 8:00 and the middle of the 3rd inning we were finally all in our seats.

So what was worth it??? Avery caught a foul ball! Actually it bounced off a mans hand, and rolled under a seat in front of Avery and he got it. The man behind him offered him $40, but he didn't give in. (this was before Colson and I got to our seats) We got to see Chipper hit a home run. Colson and Tanner had a great time!!!!! Colson paid attention to the whole game-one inning the Braves batted around, Colson said "Are they starting over?" I wasn't even paying attention but he was. Colson also said "Double play!" when the Braves turned two. Tanner was a little disappointed when they took Chipper and Andruw out of the game. I said it was because they were winning so bad they put the subs in. Tanner said "oh they have to get there 2 innings one at bat?" Well not really, but oh well. Final score Braves 14 - Cardinals 6. It was the most attendence ever at a Braves game-53,953. So I should've left earlier, I should've gone up to the next exit, but I didn't, oh well! We did make it and had a wonderful time and I think we will go back. But next time we will leave a 10:00am.
