Boston Anniversay and Birthday

i hate to enter into the female realm of blogging but i have to acknowledge how great katie is. she went to great efforts to arrange my birthday/anniversary present, a trip to boston to catch a ball-game at the fenway park. i have been a lifelong fan of the sox but i had never been to fenway. the trip was great. the morning of the first day, we ate in manhattan at max brenner's chocolate bar then rode a "MegaBus" to boston for only a few bucks each. that evening after checking in at our fancy hotel, the boston park plaza, we walked to fenway park.

to finally be able to walk in the stadium and see the green monster and the playing field after all these years of waiting was exhilarating. katie made one of my dreams come true. it was a great game with a lot of highlights including back to back homeruns from jd drew and manny ramirez, a grand slam from kevin youkilis and 7 innings of two hit ball by tim wakefield. the red sox blew out the orioles 12 to 1. we got a few souvenirs from the park but my favorite was some dirt from the field that we reached over the wall to grab. after i grabbed the dirt, i couldnt think of the best way to transport it back to the hotel. luckily, katie knew how to make a leak proof carrying container out of a piece of paper she tore out of a discarded magazine that she found. problem solved.


i would like to thank everyone that helped with the trip including my folks for watching calvin and wyatt (they love their grandparents so much and are still sad that you had to leave), katies parents for setting us up with some souvenir cash and my pal josh for helping katie get the tickets. most of all i want to thank katie for being so perfect. i love to be around you. you are the hottest thing that i have ever seen. thanks for asking me to ask you to marry me. these six years have been amazing.
