first win of the season!

opening day and the second game of the season for the cardinals were a bit rough.  opening day we should have won, but errors...  ugh.
saturday was just ugly except craig came through (remember i'm watching him) and pujols hit his first homer.
today i got together with some friends to watch the game and it made me love it even more.


first i started watching the game on my computer because it was a free day or something.  then as i walked to my friend's place i used my new app to listen to the radio.  
i have to tell you about this app.  it was definitely a splurge for me.  well... paying anything for an app is a splurge for me.  this was actually the first app i've ever paid for and i LOVE it.  i can listen to games all season on my phone as well as getting updates, videos, news articles, etc.  and they're doing a promotion for the month of april to even watch the games for free.  yes please!
yadi brought in the first run of the game during my walk.  i wanted to jump up and down, but considering i was walking on the street, i just smiled and quietly said, "yeah, yadi!"  
i was able to watch the game on a tv at my friend's.  talk about special.  
then the game moved super quickly and it was over before we knew it.  garcia even pitched the whole game!  yea garcia!


we went to froyo after, which reminded me of going to ted drew's after a cards game in st. louis.  i couldn't get anything, but it was fun to pull out the wonderfulness of the first cardinals win!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
