TWO WEEKS UNTIL FOOTBALL!!  Iowa State vs Tulsa! 

I love looking forward to sporting events so much.  I was just talking with Lyndon on facebook IM, and it makes me want to plan a trip next year to go watch the Twins or Cubs play.  The good thing is that a lot of family members do live in cities with MLB teams, so I just need to coordinate a trip around a ball game and it will be perfect. 

Lyndon & Missy live out by Washington, D.C. => Washington Nationals game?
Christian lives in Seattle => Seattle Mariners game?
Forrest & Marla live by Denver => Colorado Rockies game?
The Gleasons live in St. Louis => St. Louis Cardinals game?

So many options!  I'm sure I could find a way to watch either the Twins or Cubs at one of these locations.  Of course 3 of those are in the National League, so it would be easier to see the Cubs play (I would rather see the Twins though).  Maybe an inter-league game would be possible though.  Last year the Twins played teams in the NL West, this year they played the Central (we saw them play the Cubs), so I'm sure next year they will play the NL East.  That means that there will be a fair chance that they will play one series out in Washington.  I'll have to remember to keep my eyes open for this! 

Enough about my constant obsession with sports for the moment.  Today Elizabeth was down in St. Louis for a zombie infested 5K race called "Run for your Lives".  I'm still waiting for her to get back to hear all of the details, but I'm sure that she had a blast.  She did tell me that her flags were taken while she was running, so she did "turn into a zombie".  I better be careful when she gets home :)

One other notable thing about today... it was the first time that I mowed the yard since we moved into our new house!

BRAINS!!
