Well folks... here is my first attempt at a blog... I say folks like I have followers - well Sara - here is my first attempt at a blog. (haha) Kidding... roll the credits please!
As I mentioned in my "About Me" I am a small town girl that has been through many facets of town sizes - going from my hometown in Illinois of 900 people, to my college town of 30,000, then to my first home in Texas of about 600,000 and finally settling in this huge city of over 4 MILLION!
While many things have changed over the past several years there are a few things that haven't... like my relationship with my family and close friends and my love for Cardinal Baseball. While we all have our problems, likes and dislikes with our family and friends there is nothing that compares to my disappointment with my Cardinals lately. I love my Cardinals but I don't particularly like them right now.
Here I sit on a Monday night with an ice cold beer in hand and the Cardinals on the tube playing the Astros and it makes me cringe to think just one month ago they were the sole first place team in the National League Central and we (I say we as if I am a part of the team) decided over that month we weren't loving being the best so we took a few steps back (or 5 games back) and let the Reds take over the lead with many of their members being former Cardinals - including their GM.
I always have faith in my Cardinals but their recent playing has made me finally realize what it feels like to be a CUBS fan. Hahahaha - that was wrong. Just kidding. Disappointment is running through my veins but I have faith that they will pull through in the end.
We will be attending the game tomorrow night at Minute Maid park and hopefully Carpenter and the Redbirds will give us a win!
On a more personal note - my dad is visiting this week and we have been having quite a good time... he has had some memorable quotes I would like to share one:
"San Antonio is on an island right?!"
Until next time... have fun, laugh a lot, and GO CARDS!
