Boston Bums

"I just have to touch the wall of Fenway Park before I go to sleep tonight."

We got to our hotel late, like I dont know what time, I just know I was tired... but before Chester could sleep he had to touch Fenway Park.

We, yes we, not just Chester, had been looking forward to this trip for MONTHS!!  And finally being in Boston was amazing.  We even took the subway from the airport to the hoteland loved it, I'm sure that would wear off if we lived there, but we don't so it was awesome!

The next morning after an attempt at sleeping in, we hit the ground running.  What a pretty place, so much brick and oldness.  (I'm so descriptive)

Chester about fainted when we went in the pro shop/team store (whatever)!! I'm not even kidding, I thought he might go down with a thud.  The shop was huge and you've never seen so much Red Sox stuff, it was overwhelming!! I reminded Chester that we had several days and to pace himself.

A tour of Fenway was top on the list, and it was really cool.  The tour guide had all kinds of trivia questions and Chester whispered all the answers to me before anyone else came up with them.  Aww, that's my guy!

Atop the Green Monster, catching a phly ball. (that means a fake fly ball FYI)

Out pretty faces in front of a pretty wall.

Chester had more than one round of park food, the sausage dogs ,not sure what they are really called were pretty good with peppers and onions... don't mind our breath afterwards...

Signing Pesky's pole...

Signing the Fisk foul pole while standing on the Green Monster.

Chester's mark on the Red Sox dugout... he made sure to put his name all over the park!!

Our first game was a night game, great seats!! It was crazy fun to be there and Chester had been there 2 hours before me to catch batting practice.  I caught a little nap!!!

The next day was a day game in SPECTACULAR seats!!  For real, we were 5 rows from the Red Sox dugout and all the players saw us and were like, " Hey Powelson's, nice to see you, lets catch up after the game!!"  Yah, amazing, I know!

See there they are, just after the shout out, duh.

 I'm pretty sure Jason Varitek was coming over to say hey to me, but then he remembered the game and all.  For the record, he's my favorite player.

Need I mention the happiest guy alive???  It was the most fun ever watching Chester's face all week, he was the happiest I've seen him since he locked eyes with me like 13 years ago.

Let's go again!!!!!

Back in the day

I was just thinking about how much I love Chester!

I thought I really super crazy loved him back when this photo was taken in October 1998...

Not even sure how to say how much I love him now!

Even more!!!!!!!

Blast from the Past

September 1998.
Who ARE those gorgeous kids?!?! OK, had to move on to a new post and what better than the first Julie and Chester picture ever!! First of all, sweet bangs! This was the second day we knew each other, yup - looks like we'd been dating at least a week, crazy kids. Chester was in SLC for two days after missing his flight back to Canada and that's when I met him. FATE!

October 1998.
Aaaaand, this jem is at the Calgary airport when I flew up north to see if this Chester guy could hold his own on his own turf. Little did I know half the family would be at the airport to scare me spitless - nah, not scared a bit - except of his dad's hat that read "I think you've mistaken me for someone who gives a s#@%"

Yowza, such hot disco dancers... which Halloween was this, who cares, we rock!

April 2001. We did not have a real honeymoon, so two years after we were married we "honeymooned" in Banff National Park at the Chateau Lake Louise in the most amazing rooms you've ever seen!! I said it, EVER!! Thanks to Chester knowing the bell captain we got a room that would have been $1700/night for only $40/night. Heated tile floors, a library, rediculous and cooool. Sooo, that completes my blast from the past, probably more fun for me than for anyone else. Gotta love self indulgence.
