Went to the Bruins "Rolling Rally" parade

The Bruins won the Stanley Cup and tradition in Boston was to celebrate by having a “Rolling Rally” parade on the duck boats.
I had never been to a parade to celebrate a Boston sports team win. But David, being a huge Bruins fan, insisted that we go. I agreed and we made plans to meet some of my friends in Boston.

We got to Boston at about 7am. The weather was cool and I wish I brought a sweatshirt. The parade didn’t start until 10am so we had a lot of waiting to do. But if order for us to get a good spot, we needed to get their nice and early.
The sun came out and it got HOT!! I wish I brought a nice cold drink but I didn’t dare lose my place because the crowd was forming. Hundred of people lined the sidewalk to catch a glimpse of the cup and team that were to pass by.

Finally, after what seemed like FOREVER, the duck boats were in view. They made their way to us and were inches away from us. I loved watching David’s face as the players he rooted for were right in front of him.

Even though I am not a Bruins fan and had no clue who any of the players were (except for Tim Thomas) I got into the whole parade. I clapped, waved and smiled big as they passed by. It was amazing.

The Stanley cup passed by us and I felt an electricity in the crowd. It was truly awesome to witness. I felt like I just saw a piece of history. David nearly jumped the roadblocks to when the cup was right in front of us.

Although we waited 3 hours for the parade to start, it was well worth it, despite that we both got major sunburns and almost past out from the heat. David kept that smile on his face the entire day. Nothing better then that!

Decided to start saving for a house.

David and I have been living together in our small arrangement for a little over a month now. Our space is small and cramped yet we are managing. It has been a huge adjustment for me from having my own large space.

There are several reasons on why we moved in with David’s parents. One reason for moving in was so that we want to be able to save for a house of our own. A lower rent payment is going to help us achieve our goal of being homeowners.

On this day we finally decided to get serious and open our first joint savings account! Yikes! Such a huge step in our relationship!!

Our plan is simple and aggressive. We need to save $15,000 (5% of $300,000) by May 2012. Seems like a hard to reach goal since we opened the account with just $10. But we are determined to make this dream a reality for us.

I have shared my goals out loud with family, friends and coworkers. All seem to have same reaction. Happy, yet ask when the wedding is. Apparently you need to be married in order to have a house or start a family. I didn’t think this was 1950 anymore.

Owning a house will mean so much for us. It will mean privacy, owning equity, a big step in our relationship and lastly starting a family.

Let’s hope that by next year we will be house hunting!

My first REAL Patriots game!

My amazing boyfriend bought us Patriots tickets for this year! I was so excited because this was my first Patriots game (besides the preseason game which doesn't really count). I love football and couldn't wait to watch the Pats play right in Gillette Stadium.
Here is our ticket. Going to a Patriots game is not a cheap event. Its $117.00 PER ticket!! The Pats were playing against the Baltimore Ravens. I guess I love to watch my teams play Baltimore.
Gillette Stadium is a nightmare to drive to so we decided to take the train in to see the game. The problem is there is only 1 train that goes there and back. So if we missed this train we would have been screwed and would have had to drive down. Blah!
This is us at about 15 minutes on the train. Love how blue David's eyes look in this picture!

This is what we looked like an hour into the train ride. I swear the train was only going about 10mph and we still had another 15-20 minutes on that train. We finally got there! It was such a beautiful day to see a game. Couldn't ask for better weather.The view from our seats. Another view from our seats. Look at how many people are here. Totally packed. Here comes the Pats! If you notice the cheerleaders are wearing pink. Some of the football players were wearing pink today too. This was to support Breast Cancer awareness month!

Here they are!The beer cost $7.50 per bottle at the game. Some people were buying three or four of these during the game. That is just crazy! I only could afford the one.

The game was amazing! It was a close game and there were so many penalties called against the Pats.Half time! We were only behind by 3 points!!

The Pats cheerleaders. They were doing some kind of dance here. But there were not as good as...this guy right here. He had the best dance moves I have ever seen. :)The game went into overtime. This is the best shot I could get of Tom Brady. Notice how tiny he is compared to the rest of the team.


With the score tied and into overtime, the Pats where in field goal range. The win depended on this kick to be good. Did the Pats pull it off???

Duh!!!!

Everybody gets hugs at the end of a game! aww <3>

One of the best games I have ever been too! So glad I got a chance to go!

Booed Manny at Fenway

Somehow I was lucky enough to score tickets to the Red Sox vs Dodgers game at Fenway Park! Probably the biggest, most talked team to come play us at Fenway. Why is this the biggest, most talked about game of the year? Why did my ticket cost me a small fortune? And why did I want these tickets so bad?

Manny is back at Fenway !

That’s right, Manny is back. Since we normally don’t play the Dodgers in the regular season, this was the one game I wanted to go to since I received the Red Sox schedule. Let me just tell you, these tickets where not easy to get. But I was lucky enough (and slightly rich enough) to get 2 tickets to this game!


Yes I am in Standing Room. Yes I paid more then $20 bucks for these tickets. Yes I had to buy tickets to 2 crappy games just to get these. But was it worth it? Absolutely! I was going to be at Fenway eating a hot dog, drinking a beer and booing Manny! Mwhahaha!


The first thing I noticed at Fenway was the large amount of Dodgers fans that made the voyage. They were everywhere!

Some fans, like this guy, were very creative. This was probably the coolest thing ever!

Other Dodgers fans decided to bring large annoying signs showing their love for Manny.

We were early enough to catch the Dodgers batting practice. We were able to spot Manny pretty quickly because he was the sloppiest looking player on the team.

Actually our view from the standing row wasn't that bad! I actually was pleasantly surprised!

Up in our section there was plenty of Dodgers fans for us to point out that Manny isn't all that great and that one day they too will get sick of his antics.

This is how I felt about those darn Dodger fans!

Since I never been to a Red Sox game that lost and Dave has never been to a game that the Red Sox won, we knew this was going to be a close game. And we were right.

Some geek on the Dodgers made a homerun. I wasn't too thrilled.

But then the Red Sox hit a homerun and I was happy.

All through the game the score went back and forth. I DID NOT want to lose this game with all these Dodger's fans surrounding us.

The last inning and it was a tie score. Little Dusty P. was up at bat. I crossed my fingers!!

Did he do it????



YES!! Little Dusty P. brought got a run in and the Red Sox win!!!!!

What a fantastic game!! Eat that Manny lovers!!

Fell in love

So I guess Match.com really works.

I have been using that site for a year looking for that someone special.

He was worth the wait.
