We all have a little extra bounce in our step over the Rangers heading to the World Series!  What a fun thing to witness.  Wish I could have been there in person…but it looks like my brother and Anne WERE – check out this facebook picture she posted (I stole it!):

Cool, huh?  I think it means more to Texans since it has never happened before.

We grew up going to the OLD ballpark watching the Rangers from the bleacher seats.  I remember my mom bringing a cooler of drinks and a big bag of Starburst (which I thought was heaven on earth).

I remember as a teenager my mom laying in bed watching the Rangers consistently – she loves baseball (still does).

My girlfriend, Kate, had a red jeep in high school.  She and I went to the Rangers game many times as teenagers, in that jeep.  Her dad had season tickets and we took full advantage.  We knew that drive by heart.  A fun sidenote is that now she is an attorney for the Rangers!!  It was fate.

And now we watch with our kids and enjoy each nail-biting second of the games.  Both times we went this year they went into extra innings – talk about getting a bang for your buck.

Go RANGERS!

And a sad FYI:  I entered my name on the Rangers website 4 weeks ago for a lottery that would allow you to buy World Series tickets in advance (before they went on sale to the public).  I was being so proactive!  I mistakenly gave my "junk" e-mail address.  Last week, while I was frantically working on my Relief Society meeting (lots of technology involved) I neglected to check my "junk" email.  Well – you can guess the rest.  I was chosen for the opportunity to purchase 4 tickets during a 36-hour window.  I checked my e-mail 2 hours after the time deadline. Go ahead – pull the knife out of my heart.  Not to be, I guess…not to be.
