Well,
My sweet hubby sent me an e-mail about one week before my birthday that said...reserve August 10th..you and me....I will be home early be ready to leave at 3pm the kids will be gone by then! I was so excited!!!!!! I LOVE surprises and HATE them just as much because I become this little detective on the hunt to uncover the surprise! He kept this under wraps I had my suspicions but was never 100% and I usually always figure them out (what to go babe). I was always the kid who knew what her Christmas gifts were before Christmas Day just by lookingat the shape of the box!!!!
So, yesterday arrives and we are ehading out in the car and I have no clue what we are doing and he keeps having me guess...my only guess....ASTROS GAME!!!!!!! BUT, I knew it didn't start until 7:05. The surprise was........he wanted me to get to meet Biggio WOW!!!!!!! He put out so much effort too! He called several people on how to make this happen and the only way was to get the right spot at batting practice. So, we trucked out to Minute Maid and waited in line for one hour (in the heat). We then ran in and got the perfect spot BUT....we learned very quickly that Biggio does not come to the fans anymore. And before you think how rude....he has paid his dues. He came out for batting practice and ran right back in the dug out. Michael was SO disappointed. I was SO thrilled to see him at batting practice and most of all for the effort that my sweet hubby put forth to make this happen. You should have heard him talking to anyone and everyone to try and get me to meet this guy! What man would take off early, run in the heat and try and make his wife meet what he called "her main squeeze". MY MAN!!!!!!
Oh, news flash honey YOU ARE MY MAIN SQUEEZE!!!!
I had the best time!!! We had the BEST seats off first base and the right field line. 5 rows up (Thanks Flynn!!!!!!!!) The only bad part about the seats in we are in major foul territory and a kid got hit by a ball in the first inning so please pray for him!!!
Oh, Biggio got 2 hits (don't pester me with details on how he could have saved the game two times and struck out details people). Michael would run down to the fence and take pictures for me when he was on base. He was my super man last night. Unfortunatley we realized how bad our camera is as we compared photos with the person in front of us so I will be spending the rest of my birthday $$ on a new camera any pointers???
Tate knew where I was going and told me I was going to SCREAM!!!!!!! She then told me I was going to a camp fire I said I would scream! After I called her when I knew where I was going she said "Mom, it will not be the end of the world if you don't meet Biggio." So grown up!
So, thank you honey! I love you so very much and had the best birthday EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do have a wonderful husband!
The only good part if Biggio retiring for me is that my cousin plays infield for the Round Rock Express, so any infielder leaving gives him a better chance of getting called up! If he ever makes it, you can meet him. :)
Ugh, I just saw my typo. I meant the good part OF him retiring not if!
Michael did an awesome job!!! He could not have tried harder. I am glad you had a good time and had excellent child care for the puppies. We are master tent makers now. Does that bring back memories?
AWESOME! :) I thoroughly enjoyed reading all about your great night with your great husband and your silly little girl! Love ya~
Glad it was a good surprise - tell Michael he did a good job!!! As far as cameras, my wish list camera for Christmas is the Canon XTi. My cousin is a big photography buff and really recommended it. I'm going to see if I can request it early so I can take it with me to NYC!
Oh how fun! What a wonderful husband you have!
I knew he would take you there! I am so glad you had a wonderful birthday!
