Baseball and Closing Day!

Last night we went to the big rivalry game, Cardinals vs. Cubs, here in St. Louis. Our family had gotten my Grandma G, whose been an avid Cardinal fan for years, tickets for her birthday. We had really good seats--only 16 rows back--a first for us, normally we're stuck in the clouds! So Matt and I along with my grandparents headed downtown for the last game between the Cards and Cubs. From the time they met, my Grandma and Matt (a loyal Cubs fan) have always given each other a hard time. I myself am a Cardinals fan, so there were three of us sporting red while Matt was one of the few in blue. The Cards ended up losing, 3-2, but it was a great game, going all the way through the bottom of the ninth. Although it was a super late night, we enjoyed hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma G and had a great time.

At one point Matt and I saw an older couple, one in red and the other in blue. After spotting them I told Matt we have hope for our marriage to survive even though we're rivals in most sports! Ha!

So this morning after dragging ourselves out of bed with little sleep, Matt and I signed our names like we were famous! We are now the proud owners of our first home!! We are so excited! After closing this morning we treated ourselves to Cracker Barrell (it was close and we were waiting on keys--not our top choice!). After that we were still waiting on keys so we did a little shopping for the house--cleaning supplies, bath towels, shower curtain rod, toaster--all the not so exciting things!

Anyways, tomorrow we're moving all of our stuff in, so it will be another big day! Please pray for safe travels and no injuries as we move stuff in! Also-please pray for me as I seem to be getting sick with either a cold or allergies...either way its not much fun!

I managed to get a picture of Matt as he was chowing down on his celebration meal!
