11 Years (and other stuff)

Today we celebrate 11 years of marriage.  That’s kind of a long time.  We’re dropping the kids with our super awesome friend Nicole, and then we’re heading up to Chattanooga for the weekend.  It should be a blast.

This week also marks the 3 year anniversary of when I turned moreron.com into a blog.  I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already.  I enjoy going back and reading the old posts to see what was going through my mind back then.  Gotta love the archives…

Soccer season is over now, except for the awards ceremony next Saturday.  Mom and Dad will be in town for that, and while they won’t get to see me hobbling* all over the field, they will get to see the kids’ teams.

* Yeah, I said “hobbling.”  I pulled (maybe just strained) my hamstring last night running to first base.  Let it be known that I actually hit the ball to left field.  (They put the “Giambi shift” on me.)

We didn’t have any extra players last night, so when my turn came to bat again, it would be an automatic out if I came out of the game.  I switched to DH to stay off the field.  When it was my turn to bat again, there were 2 outs with a runner on 3rd.  I got up to the plate (feeling a little like Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series) and hit a line drive to right field.  They tried to throw me out at first as I was literally hopping on 1 foot down the base line.  I beat the throw by a half step (hop).  A 3-for-3 night with 4 RBIs and a run scored was a fun one, but I could have done without the injury.

Ron, congrats to you and your wife on 11 years! You’re one up on Becky and me. (Knowing that you’re a lot like me, I’m gonna say that extra congratulations should go to your wife for putting up with you. ;-) )

Hope that hammie gets better quick. Hopping to first isn’t any fun.

Um, sure you messed up your hamstring on your anniversary weekend playing ball. We ALL believe that…
