Owlz Baseball Now and Then

A pretty good recap of Sam's and my conversation after dinner:

Me: Hey, want to do something kind of crazy?
Sam: I already know what you're gunna say. But go ahead and tell me, I'll tell you if it's what I was thinking.
Me: What do you think it is?
Sam: Just tell me, I'll tell you after.
Me: Uhhh okay, do you want to go to the Orem Owlz game tonight?

Sam's eyes widen

Sam: Really?! Ya! Well maybe!

Haha, he thought I wanted to discuss the possibility of us going to Las Vegas to see a live taping of Wheel of Fortune, seriously, that is no joke. But no, it's officially summer and summer means baseball. And baseball in Utah only leaves us one of two choice, the most convenient being the Orem Owlz (yes, Owlz with a 'z,' and for you Michigan folk, the Orem Owlz are to baseball what the Plymouth Whalers are to hockey). So after dinner we headed to the game. We got there at the end of the third ending, but I'm not complaining because it was still really hot out at 7pm, and we got there around 8pm (and because the game went to the bottom of the 11th! We lost). As we made our way down to our seats we were extremely happy to run into our good friends, and old neighbors Allie and Jordan! We sat right in front of them and had ourselves a really fun evening.

So normally I probably wouldn't create a post about this, but almost 2 years ago exactly, at our one and only Owlz baseball game previous to tonight, I made a very intriguing prediction to Sam. We had been dating a month or so, and I knew Sam wasn't 100% feeling 'us' yet. I wanted to invite him to a big family BBQ, but wasn't sure if he'd be willing to come yet or not. Sadly, my exact wording is becoming slighty hazy (maybe because I'm starting to not believe I even said something like this!) But I told him, "I know I don't have you wrapped around my finger yet, where you'll say yes to anything I ask, but eventually you will when you fall in love with me..." WHAT?! Oh geez! Needless to say, Sam has admitted that he was taken back by that statement and it made him want to see what I was talking about (and he did come to the family party)! Well, it looks like I was right :) and now we will have been married 1 1/2 years on Sunday. I'm glad Sam stuck around, even when he wasn't so sure about this 'girl with a feather in her hair' (his words not mine). Enjoy a few pictures from our Owlz game 2 years ago.

  1. I love the bangs, too. You can pull off whatever you do.
    Did you see Tom and the 3 littles last night? They were there, too.
    Glad Sam was smart enough to snag you. :)
