The Dome is finished! That makes me so sad!

It was a rough game, but I am hopeful for next year!!!

Here are some memories i have from the dome:

I became a Twins fan because of Joe Mauer, but that was just to watch Joe, and not really baseball, but then I remember channel flipping one afternoon in the Fall of 2006, and saw the Twins win and whoever was the announcer was going crazy and then all of the players were jumping around and celebrating that they just won the division, and from that moment I was hooked. Of course I knew about the twins, and had been to some games when I was a kid, but the excitement was just so contagious, and then Joe was honored for his first batting title, and the Twins players just seem so nice, and that they just enjoy playing baseball!So after that I watched them get swept in the 2006 post season against Oakland, and I just remember my dad seeming to really like that I liked a sport he did. (I drag him to a lot of figure skating events, and know we share baseball together!)I couldn’t wait for the 2007 season, and ever since that day I have been a diehard twins fan. Although I am like everyone in agreeing the dome seating was terrible, I enjoyed the advantage we had there, and I am going to miss the guarantee of all games being played every day and on time. I am excited about Target Field, don’t get me wrong, but it will be cold during next year’s post season!! Here are some memories I have of the Twins in the dome, of some games I went to, and some just watching at home!Obviously that 2006 game, when we clinched the AL central!Joe Mauer winning 3 batting titlesJustin Morneau’s MVP award in 2006.Torii Hunter’s amazing catches in centerfieldThe MN announcer Dick Bremer, when something exciting happens, he goes crazy! (I love it!) The old milk carton that used to be in right field in the dome!TC (he’s so cool!)The last couple games at the metrodome, and the excitement and the homer hankies waving!Being “circled by Bert” in a segment called Good Question on WCCO channel 4 news! Even though I still to this day have not been circled by Bert at a game.Jason Kubel hitting a grand slam against the Angels in April 2009, and therefore hitting for the cycle and coming from behind to win the game!Carlos Gomez stealing a grand slam homerun away from AROD, with his amazing spider manlike catch!Joe Mauer hitting a home run in his first game back in 2009! I was watching at home with Sara, and I literally feel over and freaked out! (That was fun!) Watching game 163 with mom and dad, and crying when Orlando Cabrera hit a two run homerun to get ahead of the Tigers, but then realizing that the game was going to go into 12 innings, but then falling over when they eventually won!Nick Punto’s crazy moves in the infield. My closest seats ever behind home plate, 20 rows back with my dad. We sat by an anti Joe Mauer fan, and every time he yelled at Joe, I yelled praises to Joe! This was also my first and only time watching Johan Santana pitching live, and he had a bunch of strikeouts!Defending Joe to my PCI male co-workers!Ozzie Guillen praising the Twins, it sometimes seems he loves us better than his own team! (And for winning 2 out of 3 games against Detroit for there last series of the season) The last three years at Twinsfest, and meeting Joe Mauer. Even though when my dad told Joe I was going to marry him, I turned BRIGHT red! DOME DOGS!!!! Going to the Quest Twins Live show that was at Bdubs in Monticello and meeting my FSN guys Anthony Lapanta and Roy Smalley.The final game Farewell to the Metrodome Ceremony was so good and Kirby Puckett’s son removing the 1 from the Countdown to the Dome tally.My mom told me recently that I've been a twins fan for a long time, because it was either in '87 or '91 when the Twins won the world series and I was sick, and kept throwing up and my mom just wanted to watch the game, so she eventually let me lay down on the couch with her and watch the game! So I've been a twins fan since I was a kid! She isn't sure if it was in 1987 or 1991!Of course, these aren’t all of them, but what are some of your memories at the Dome?? Do you have any with me??

Well I still have to post details about the last regular season game at the dome, and I will do that soon, I promise!!! :)

Friday Night Twins Game

I went to the Twins game with Sara on Friday night, which was SOOOOO much fun!! I had to wait for her to get off work and it was so busy, so It felt like it took forever to get there, but it didn't, and we survived, we both hate driving to the dome, and we SURVIVED!! WOOT WOOT!!! even though i had a nightmare that we would get there when the star spangle banner played, and guess what happened!! haha!!

we also got the wrong tickets, they gave me Sunday's tickets, so that kinda made me nervous, but everything worked out! our seats were good too, considering we just bought them! It was so crowded, and so loud, which was WONDERFUL! and there were home runs hit all over the place, we destroyed Kansas City!! Everyone was keeping track of the Chicago/Detroit game, so when they won and people cheered, Sara and I were both like "What's going on?" it was funny!

we also had the funniest boys sitting behind us with there Bircle Me Cert signs instead of Circle Me Bert, so that was fun!

after the game ended, and we had won, there was someone that tried to sneak onto the field, and of course he got hog piled by security, so that was funny, i'm just wondering who would do something like that!!

we did mingle around, since it was Sara's last game at the dome, and we also wanted to take our time so traffic would dwindle, which it did because sara and i looked at her duluth pictures, and then it was easy driving, and we stopped at perkins in monticello, and this is when we got drunk on laughter, it was crazy! i don't even remember what we laughed about, but we both just about died, and so that was SUPER fun! we didn't get home until super late, and then we decided to watch a replay of the game we were just at! haha!! it was so much fun! more details on my next game later!! :)

Metrodome Magic!!

WOW!!!! its been insane, but I will post details about last weekends Twins games, but the best news: THE TWINS ARE THE 2009 AL CENTRAL CHAMPS!!!! we are the champions, my friends! and even though we are playing the yankees, i really believe in this team!!

the game went to 12 innings, but ended FABULOUSLY and boy do I wish I was at that game!!!! details. pics. and video to come!

GO TWINS!!

Twins updates!!!!

Today was actually a really good day! i've been doing really well with going to bed early, and getting up early, so thats been nice!

i went to the unemployment office this morning to meet up with others, and we talk about anything and everything. it was really good. got lots of tips on temp agencies!

i did some grocery shopping, took a nap, and was getting ready to watch the big twins game when.......


DAH DAH DAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!


it gets postponed due to rain, and this is a HUGE series against the Detroit Tigers, so we have a double header tomorrow, and I am SOOOOOOOO nervous!!! ahhhhhhh!!!!

but i am getting into dancing with the stars again, so it was fun to watch that!

well wish the twinkies luck tomorrow, we need it! i am SOOOOO nervous! have a great week!

Fun Family Day!

so today was our Sommers Family picture, which we have not done in awhile, like 20 years to be exact. while i didn't sleep too well last night, so i got up at 3:30 and had PLENTY of time to get ready.

then i headed home, and went to church, its always fun to go back to my home church and see everyone! And actually kevy led worship, which I was not expecting at all, so that was cool! he is a good singer!

after church we had our pictures, which were really fun and turned out great. we know the photographer since she is in town, and her and kevin were bantering back and forth which was funny, since he insisted on wearing his hat!! oh well, thats Kevy for you!

after the pictures we barbequed, probably last one for the summer, and then us girls watched the 3rd Harry Potter, which was good!!

after that jackie left, and i took a nap, which i enjoyed in my parents ENORMOUS bed, and then they woke me up because we had a guest speaker at church about ministries at the Grand Canyon, and what are we doing next month, GRAND CANYON!! it was good, it was more about telling us that it GC was created, which we all knew, and the kind of tours that he does!

after that I hung out for a bit with the fam, but the Dallas Cowboys were losing, so I knew it was time to go before Kevy blew a fuse, he loves Dallas!

now i am home chillin, and ready to get to bed! although I did finally figure out how to get a video on youtube, so you can enjoy it!!! HOORAY! have a great week everyone! PRAYERS needed!

Not the greatest week! ICK!

so this week hasn't been very fun! i kinda got into a fight with my bestie, prayers about that needed!

and i went home, but my mom and i kind got into it, about me not getting a job, and she wasn't realizing that i am trying to find a job, there just aren't any jobs, but we patched that up! what was it about this?? hmmmm....

but it was fun to trip plan for Arizona with my dad, and my brother and i bonded so that was really good too! he even showed me a new cute picture of him and his friend (cough, cough; who's a GIRL!) and i thought it was a prom picture, since he looked dressed up, but it wasn't! its always weird to be back in my old room, so when my mom and i got into it, i went upstairs and found another bed in my room, which i found out was my sisters old bed, but it was nice to have two beds up there, like we had growing up!

now for some good news: the TWINS are rocking, and i just found out that the last game at the dome is sold out, so that game is going to be so much fun!! we are playing detroit right now, and we won the first game, and now we are 3 games back! WOOT WOOT!!

i also got my florida scrapbook done, so yah for that! i just bought one for my SD trip, and am buying some pages and stickers for that one, and then i can start it! YAH!

the tomorrow, i am going back home since on sunday morning we are taking a family picture for our church directory, and we haven't taken one since probably 20 years ago, so it will be quite updated. i will post the old one on facebook, along with the new one when we get it. we are even going to be color coordinated, CRAZINESS!! so it will be fun to see my sister!

well prayers about the job! i just had a good prayer session, just letting God know that I know my future will be glorious, but I am just so darn impatient! haha! well good night everyone, have a great weekend! sorry the updates are not coming as frequently, but my life is quite boring right now!! at least the skating season is coming up though, woot woot!

bemidji/lake itasca was so much fun!

good times were had, but i am very tuckered out from trips, and just ready to chill for awhile! catch up!

pray for my job search!
