Opening Day...

I was invited to go to Opening Day of the Orioles this year. I'm not a huge baseball fan...but going to games is always fun...and it was free!! It was a rainy day...but luckily it cleared up in time of the game. We had club level tickets, so when the skies decided to open up right before the game we could run for cover. It was a great game...the O's beat the Yankees!! Woo hoo! Here are some pics...

 
The view from our seats...pretty nice!

 
  
Here come the O's! 

 
  
This is Birdland!!

 
Joe Biden threw the first pitch! The crowd booed him...I was surprised.

25 random things about me...

So on facebook I was tagged at least 7 times to share 25 things about myself...so here we go:

1. I love to cook...and have been doing it a lot lately

2. The first CD I ever owned was Kris Kross

3. My brother and I used to put on shows whenever extended family or our parents friends came over. We would have a stage (a coffee table we were allowed to dance on), costumes, and tickets!

4. I love children's literature...it was my favorite class in college.

5. I flossed my nasal passages at Young Life camp in High School

6. I was a dancer from the time I was 4 until I was 18.

7. I was the youngest dance teacher at my studio...I was only 17.

8. I have been to 9 countries so far in my life...and there are so many more I want to go to!

9. 2 things in life that I want more than ever: to be a wife and a mother.

10. A dream of mine is to one day own A Children's Bookstore with a juice bar. I would run Children's Programs and tutoring there.

11. I have a hard time saying no...though I am learning! Someone even bought me a mug saying "Stop volunteering for things."

12. I got my degree in Elementary Education at Messiah College. I haven't taught a day since.

13. I have some truly amazing friends.

14. Jesus became my Lord and Savior when I was in high school at a Lake Champion, a Young Life Camp.
