#17: Take Me Out to the Ball Game…

I’m in a slump.  Like a do I really have to change out of the clothes I’ve been wearing for the past two days?  kind of slump.  On the bright side, I do still wash my face and brush my teeth twice a day and I have knocked out 5 seasons of Friends DVDs and read 7 books since I’ve been here.  I have also had one subbing job.  I know I just need to get into a routine and get over the initial fear of the unknown world of subbing, but I have found myself getting into bed each night this week and quietly praying that no one would call me to sub in the morning.  I should be embracing it all, but instead, I am giving into the fear.  The unknown.

With that being said, there is no real excuse as to why I have not wrote about number 17 on my list: go to a Cardinal baseball game.  It was a month ago!  Well, no excuse except Friends DVDs, reading and Pinterest. 

Going to a Cardinal baseball game was kind of a when in Rome moment.  The Cards are huge here.  If there is a game (which in MLB is basically every night) then people are decked out from head to toe in their Cardinal attire.  It seems like everyone loves and follows the Cards.  I wanted a little taste of what all the excitement was about.

Therefore, on a Wednesday night in early August, we loaded up and headed to St. Louis for a game verses the Red Sox. 

I may or may not have been more excited about seeing the arch from our seats than I was for the actual game.

We even got our own Cardinal shirts for the game…like I said, when  in Rome.

It was a fun game…after an hour long rain and lighting delay.   Cards lost in the 9th, but I got to check another thing off my list!

Until next time…
