Go Royals!

Yesterday was the home opener for the KC Royals. We played the NY Yankees and won 5-2. It was fabulous! My favorite part was being with Mat. We are both very social people and when we plan dates tend to plan them with other people (which we love). It was so nice to be with just him for a change and to laugh, share stories and for him to impart his extensive baseball knowledge about pitch outs, etc. which I truly love. The weather left something to be desired as it was raining and in the mid 40's but with the wind chill the low 30's. Our seats weren't covered so with the wind and drizzle it was cold. Since Mat is such a die hard we had to be there early for all the pre-game festivities and of course stayed till the bitter (cold) end. I came well prepared though and had 6 layers on, 2 hats and my Sorrells. I stayed warm and dry thankfully! Mat pulled out his Royals jacket from when he was 12 and it fit me so of course he was determined I had to wear it. I did but it was not warm enough so it was the 2nd layer down :)! I loved wearing his 20 year old jacket though it did make us feel a little old that he has had it for that long. The win was a great way to start off the first home game. We look forward to many more games, hot dogs & peanuts over the next six months!
