Watched the Bruins win the cup!

I would love to say how exciting this day was for me. How I watched the Bruins win surrounded by countless fans. How I high-fived random fans as beer is being passed out to celebrate. Proudly showing off my Bruins pride along with the way while confetti is being tossed.

Nope.

When they won I was home. Alone. In bed. Sigh…so boring.

David is a HUGE Bruins fan whereas I am not. I prefer my Patriots and Sox to the Bruins or Celtics. So when David asked if it was okay to watch the game with a group of his friends at a bar, I was fine with that. But there was no way in Hell that I was going to miss watching the Bruins possibly win the Stanley Cup, considering since the Bruins have not won the Stanley Cup in my lifetime.

This all came down to this game. The Vancouver Canucks were a strong team and so were the Bruins. Each team had won 3 games and whoever won this game brought home the cup. Bruins fans wanted that cup and chants of “We want the cup” became our motto.

So I laid under the covers in bed and watched the last hockey game of the season. It was an easy win for the Bruins and they dominated this game winning with a score of 4-0.

I cheered and wrote a Facebook message congratulating the Bruins on their win. Then I fell asleep. David came home and had this huge grin on his face late that night. I woke up briefly and then passed out again.

Hmmm… this sounds like my activities when the Red Sox won the series in 2004. I wish these games were on earlier. Oh well. Congrats Bruins and their die hard fans!

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!

Survived Rapture!

According to Harold Camping, the end of the world or “Rapture” was to begin at 6pm on May 21, 2011.

From what he said, God was going to be taking people who followed and truly believe straight to Heaven. Everyone else would have 6 months to repent and surrender themselves to God because on October 21, 2011 the world would be destroyed. People left on Earth would suffer greatly and lots of death/destruction would be around us.

Harold Camping has predicted the end of the world in 1994. When the world did not end, he blamed it on a miscalculation. What he didn’t realize (or care about) was that his followers where quitting their jobs, maxing out their credit cards and in some extreme cases committing suicide. It has been the same this time. His followers really believe him 100%! Nice guy, huh.

On May 21, 2011 at 6pm I was in Boston with David. We were on our way to a Red Sox game. At around 5:50pm a thick fog covered Boston. Traffic was heavy and we were stuck staring at this strange fog rolling in.

5:59pm we were still in traffic seeing the fog inch its way to us. And then the clock struck 6pm…..

It was truly amazing what we were witnessing…..

Traffic was letting up and we were able to get to Fenway. And that fog was just fog. Nobody was taken into Heaven. No earthquakes or storms happened. Nothing exciting but the fact that traffic was moving again.

Thanks for the laugh Harold Camping!

Watched the Royal Wedding!

Live.

On TV at 5:30am.

On the day that I was moving out of my apartment.

Having spent an entire month of packing, cleaning and throwing away, I was going to officially moving in with my boyfriend. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. Plus I was just extremely wiped out both mentally and physically. I really am not a big fan of moving.

The night before, I went around packing everything in boxes. I was exhausted and couldn’t to finally be done with everything. At around 10:30pm I felt drained and went to lie down on the couch. I was just going to rest my eyes for a few minutes.

ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz

I woke up at 3:30am with the lights in my apartment all on and the TV blasting away. Sitting up I looked at all the unfinished apartment. Still so much work to do before David comes with his cousin and Aunt to load the truck.

Instead of stressing about it, I switched the channel to live coverage of the royal wedding. I laid there watching 2 hours of news coverage of everything between what Kate will be wearing, the guest attires and replays of Charles and Diana’s wedding.

When Kate finally loaded the car to be taken to the church I have to admit I was breathless by her. She looked stunning and truly like a princess. She was the icon of what every little girl wanted to be when they grow up.

I sat there and watched the entire wedding. I saw her make her way up the aisle of the church, her amazingly beautiful sister and the entire ceremony (which was very boring!). I stayed glued to my TV up until William and Kate kissed on the balcony and walked into the palace to have their reception.

The wedding was a great mix of traditional and modern. Kate’s dress was gorgeous. The entire wedding made me want to be a princess! I was really glad to watch a piece of history live on TV.

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.
