Emily and Chris

Whoo! Crazy spring break this year! Phoenix was a blast! We have a great time! We flew in from Pocatello on Thursday night with Edythe and Phil. We landed later in the evening and by the time we got the car and found the condo everyone was starving! So for dinner we had (Yay!) In and Out! We headed back to the condo after that and everyone was ready for bed.
The next day was the first night game we have attended in Phoenix. We watched the San Fransisco Giant v. The Oakland Athletics. We had awesome seats right behind home plate. Benji Molina (Of the famous Molina brothers) is the catcher for the Giants and his wife and new baby were sitting right behind us!
The second day we went to my favorite ball park (Maryvale) and saw the Brewers and the Padres. I was excited because for the second year in a row I got see David Eckstein play! We sat directly behind the Padres dugout. It was perfect weather and perfect seats! I even got a coach to throw me a ball!
That night Becca flew in to join us. We had In and Out for dinner again Yum Yum Yum! My favorite!
The third day we saw The Mariners at the Dodgers. We seriously had the best seats! We were right down the first base line. It was SO cool! Ichiro was standing like 6 ft. away from us! Chris caught a foul ball hit by Ryan Garko. The little boy sitting behind us was a big Mariners fan and my husband is a really nice guy so he gave it the little boy. The little boy said “I have been to 11 Mariners games and I have never seen them win!”
We went to the most fabulous restaurant I have ever been to! Yes, even better than In and Out It is called Chino Bandito. It was featured on Diners, Drive-in’s and Dives on Food Network so we decided to check it out. It is Chinese Mexican Fusion. It was AMAZING! Really spicy jerk fried rice, spicy sweet and sour chicken wrapped in a tortilla and covered in cheese with sweet ginger black beans! OMG! Also, homemade snickerdoodle cookies! I could eat it every day!
We had an amazing time in Phoenix! We couldn’t have asked for better seats or better weather!

Spring Break was fabulous!  Everything about it!  We had a fabulous time in Phoenix!  I am putting the pictures up in my gallery.  We saw three fabulousd baseball games that were very fun and very different.  We tried burm seating, which was interesting.  I got to see Manny play, even though he didn’t do anything ( struck out looking twice, and hit into a double play).  It was so nice to spend some time with the Joslin’s.  It was so nice to spend more than just the weekend with Becca!n The weather was awful when we returned to Salt Lake.  Of course, none of us brought coats and I didn’t bring any real shoes… It was a cold walk to the car.

We were home for one night and Chris Clark came for the weekend.  I hadn’t seen him since my birthday so it was really fun!  We didn’t really do anything, mostly homework and errands, but we got a new Wii game and it was so fun!  You have to dance and totally make a fool of yourself.

School is keeping me so busy!  I can’t seem to get caught up on anything!  I am doing really well in my classes, even thought I feel like I’m totally slacking.

I have been trying to get something written about the WBC since it started, but I just haven’t had time.  I love the WBC!  It is so fun to watch the players play for their country and they are so excited with so much pride!  I also really enjoy watching player from the Dutch league, The Korean league, the Chinese/Japanes league play.  The big suprise team was the Dutch.  I was amazed by the way they played.  The U.S. did better this time then the last time, but still kinda a disappointment.  The final between Japan and Korea was AMAZING!  I think that it is so cool that Japan is the only country to win the WBC.  I, of course, was rooting for them after the U.S. was eliminated because they have Kenji Johjimah and Ichiro.  One of the player slid into second base and hit his helmet on the 2nd basemens knee… His helmet SHATTERED he hit so hard and he kept playing!

It was hard for me to believe that it was time for the WBC again already!  Chris and I watched the last one on some of our first dates.  It seems like we have been together forever and  not very long at the same time.

YAY! We arrived in Phoenix today… LATE!  By the time we got to the hotel it was 11!  We left Pocatello at 2!  I’m so excited to be here! I’ll write more soon and put up pictures tomorrow!

Even the internet knows A-Rod is lying…

Look at the ad right abovethe story…

Today Ken Griffey Jr. resigned with the Seattle Mariners today!  WOO-HOO!  Of course, this doesn’t mean that The Mariners are going to be good, but I am excited to have one of my favorite players to play for one of my favorite teams again!  HOORAY!

Prodigal Son Returns!

This just in: Alex Rodriguez cheats at baseball…  Oh wait, no I totally knew that!  A-Rod admitted to using steroids.  What a loser… BTW… It is obvious to me that steroids don’t help the choke factor.  I hope that this puts some tarnish on his golden boy image.  He probably would have been caught again after steroids were made illegal in baseball but the COB (Commissioner of Baseball) warned him that he tested dirty and that another test was coming his way in 2004 and that he should “clean-up his act”.  GOD! I HATE HIM! I ALWAYS HAVE AND I ALWAYS WILL!
