Fun Friday!

It is no secret that Keith and I 

LOVE

the Cincinnati Reds.

We have always been huge Reds fans

and decided this year that we would

become season ticket holders.

One of the many perks of being a

season ticket holder is that today

we were able to have lunch with 

the Redlegs.

Of course, I was hoping,

and wishing, and praying
(cue Ani Difranco)

that Joey Votto would be in attendance

today, but I guess these guys

will have to do ;) .

Me, Zack Cozart, Keith

Funny story about this picture with Shortstop Zack Cozart--

immediately after the photographer snapped this picture,

a huge banner on a stand fell down right behind me

and almost hit me in the head.

I was so shocked and a little embarrassed

because OF COURSE this would happen to me,

that I said to Zack,

"That would have been a memorable Reds Luncheon!"

Keith, Pitcher Curtis Partch, Me

 Curtis Partch is one of our newest relief pitchers

and is possibly one of the

quietest but funniest people I have ever

met. 

When asked how he prepares in the bullpen

he stated,

"I make sure that I have really good snacks."

(My first thought was to write

"Such a man!", but who am I kidding?

My friends and I would make sure we had really

good snacks too. That's how we roll. )

Me, Chris Heisey, Keith

I have to admit that the highlight

of the luncheon came when we 

met this fella.

He was SOOOO nice

and when we were finished talking,

he thanked us for being fans.

It seems like such a small gesture,

but it really meant a lot to me.

After the luncheon,

Keith and I made a fro-yo

date to Orange Leaf,

before dropping me

off to spend the night with this girl:

The Bride to Be!

With the rehearsal dinner being on Wednesday,

we had all Friday night to finish up

last minute wedding details and 

then spend some time relaxing in the hot tub.

We stayed up chatting until just after midnight

when I was the first to wish her happy wedding day!

Can't wait to see all of the beautiful details

come together tomorrow!
