My best friend and I finally made up our mind about the Boston Red Sox. We decided to get them! They were a bit more expensive then we planned, but we talked it over for a while and ultimately decided it was worth it. Every season we always say we’re going to see them and then we never do because of the cost or the time. We always find some reason not to go. Recently we have been having some talks about different things, so I think that this has been our inspiration . Lately we’ve been having discussions about everything we want to do and this idea came near the top of our list. We are girls but we love baseball ! We are both extremely excited about going to this game . We have both been in a rut lately, so this might be just what we need . We have been so caught up with school that it has been really really hard to get out and do fun things . On the plus side, this is the best our grades have ever been but we’re not used to spending this much time indoors. It was worth passing up every party and date for the opportunity to do this . We’re looking forward to socializing again and getting to know some of the other fans!
We were excited about seeing the Pittsburgh Steelers. We wanted to go and see them play in the playoffs, and what a great chance to go home again, too. Well, actually, this was Tara’s home. Tara and her family were all from another city. She couldn’t wait to go home . It has been a very long time since she has been home . By that time she was disgusted with the city. There was little opportunity for what she wanted to do. In all these years she only want back twice, both times for a funeral. When her parents were alive, they would come visit her, knowing how much she disliked the city . I visited her hometown before I met her for business and hated it . I went back again for business and I actually enjoyed myself . Then, the Riverwalk was big. Stories from Tara let me know that the city has diminished since then, but I will find out soon . It’s going to be a good trip. Tara was going to call Jim and Sue and see if they could come along. I’m sure that they would love to go see a game, especially if it meant getting away from home for a while . Jim is a friend of mine, who is in my support group for diabetes.
I can’t believe that Jim was upset that I was given MLB Tickets tickets. I suggested that he look around for them, or ask some friends of ours if they can get him and his wife some tickets for the game, even though I knew it was highly unlikely . My friend gave me the tickets because there was a client emergency and there was no way that he could make it to the game . Jim asked his wife, who of course was ecstatic about the game . Sue and Jim were going to be able to stay in the same hotel as us, but unfortunately the flight that we were on was full to capacity . Thankfully, one of Sue’s friends was a travel agent so she made a single phone call . The travel agent made some calls and got a couple off seats cleared. We couldn’t wait. The next few days crept by while we impatiently waited for the time to arrive . In the meantime, we tracked the team and realized that they just might make it to the playoffs .
