Softball and Hockey All Weekend

It's Monday
But not really my Monday
With my new work schedule I only work Tuesday-Thursday
Yes, I know you're jealous

So technically I'm still celebrating the weekend
While everyone else is working

But if I did have a normal work schedule, this is what my weekend post would be

Friday night Nick and I went to the horse races again
But then shit got scary
I had both parents calling and texting me telling me there were bad storms coming
And when I looked up in the sky the clouds were moving one way, and the flag was flying the other

The races got canceled but we took cover inside at the races because leaving would have been stupid
Thankfully we only experienced some rain and a little bit of hail
But in the town next to my parents (their town is the one that was just hit with a tornado) a tornado touched down

via

Thankfully no one was injured but that is the high school gym (where I once played basketball, yes I played basketball at one point) and it is really sad to see it like this

My parents also got a new cat

Well my sister got it

And it's a kitten

I'm not really a cat person

I'm still not sure of the name

My sister has changed it twice

And I think she's changing it again

Saturday was suppose to be a day filled with softball games

But they all got rained out

So it ended up being a lazy day for Nick and I which was nice

But then things got intense when the Blackhawks game started

Game 7 and if they lost they were done

Nick was stressed

I was not

So I sat and blogged the whole time

Then that night we went to a place called Fast Eddies which is about 35 minutes away

I love this place

The food is amazing

And cheap

Like it's all a dollar

If you are in the area I highly recommend going to this place

You do have to be 21 to get in but trust when I say the food is great

Beware not to run into these fools though

After that Nick and I headed over to the casino since it's like across the street

Because of all the rain we have been getting lately the river is starting to flood

And I think it's only suppose to get worse

Ps. we lost the money we took into the casino

We won nothing...

Then Sunday was the make up tournament that was suppose to happen Saturday

And Nick's team (Suit Up) won the whole thing!

Which is awesome because that means they get to go onto a bigger tournament

Softball is taken seriously around here, obviously

Nick also got All Tournament Team for being the best at third base all day

My boyfriend >>>>>

Sunday night ended with watching the first game of the next series for the Blackhawks

And they won by 2

So Nick was pretty happy about that

And while typing this I got a text from him saying we could maybe go to the zoo today

So I am one happyyyyy person right now

Expect lots of pictures from that!

My Four Day Weekend

So I have not updated for awhile
I get into these like streaks where I update a lot
And then don't for a long time

I have no idea why

So I am apologizing now for every picture you are about to see
Because if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you have already seen these
Side note: you should follow me
Because I'm awesome

Anyways, last Thursday I went to the Tim McGraw concert
My boyfriend and I took my mom for mother's day
It was a lot of fun
He is awesome in concert
And awesome to look at

Then Friday we watched Ethan
Most awesome child ever
Seriously

Saturday the boyfriend had a softball tournament
So I watched that all day
I really do enjoy watching
But I am not enjoying the million tan lines I'm getting

My boyfriend is a stud
You should be jealous

Sunday was spent watching two softball games and then just hanging out with family
It was nice

Monday was Memorial Day and the boyfriend and I spent it with my family
It was nice to relax and just hang out with them
We grilled, played bags, played some wiffle ball (until it started to downpour) and played some card games

I also wanted to say thank you to all the men and women who have fought and are fighting for our country
I know we all think Memorial Day is just for drinking and grilling but we also needed to stop and take a second to realize what it was really about.

This is my Grandpa
He passed away back when I was in 8th grade
I miss him a lot but I am also grateful for everything he did for our country
So thank you to everyone who puts their life on the line everyday for our freedom
