Holy cow! Holy cow! Holy Cow!
Okay you may have heard, so this may be redundant. Devin & I celebrated our 4 year anniversary at Wrigley Field last week. It was a great day and we had great seats, right behind the Reds bullpen. Close enough to taunt Merker (not to be confused with Merkner, who is married to Johnny).And I caught a foul ball! No really, I did! And it wasn't one of those scramble on the ground and come up with the ball either. It was a line drive, straight to me. It came so fast, I didn't have time to think. In retrospect, if I didn't have my mitt on, I probably would have put my hand up to protect myself anyhow. This would probably have hurt. A lot.
OK, to be fair, once it hit my mitt, it dropped (I'm no D.Lee). I guess I was just surprised I actually caught it. I mean, after years of bringing my mitt to the game, who would have thought? Right to me. I'm sure I looked like quite an ass afterward, wiggling and cheering myself.
(OK, coincidence.... I'm listening to the "Genre: Country" section on my ipod right now, and "When You're Hot, You're Hot" just came on. I feel like I can conquer the world!!! (by the way, I snagged the song from my mom for D... he had a thing...oh nevermind)
I don't know why this is such a defining moment in my life, maybe because I have nothing else going on....who knows. I rank my life thusly: 1. Birth of my daughter 2. My wedding to my beloved 3. catching the foul ball.
What else could be sweeter? I'm a lucky, lucky lady.

It was an impressive bit of fielding, baby. You're on my fantasy team.
That's funny, bigsoda is on my fantasy team.
Hey, what day were you there? I was at the game last Tues. I didn't catch a foul but I was able to drunkenly heckle Ken Griffey Jr. from the bleachers. Not a life defining moment by any means, but certainly a great way to start the summer!
P.S. Yay comments!
We were there last Tuesday. What a crappy game, but always fun nonetheless
