Cory turned me into an Astros fan pretty early after I moved
to Houston. We have been going to games for years, even when they were
seriously awful. I love so many of the players on the team, and I was so happy
that they won the World Series this year! They have been recruiting players and
rebuilding the team and way back in 2014 an issue of Sports Illustrated came out,
and it said that the Astros would be champions in 2017. So much fun that it was
right! They played the Dodgers and it was an up and down series for sure. We
won, they won, there was a crazy 10 inning game (that we won), and all kinds of
fun stuff in between. Mom was in town for game 7, and she loves October
baseball. It was so much fun to all be together for it. The only bad thing was
trying not to wake the girls up while we were celebrating! The next day we decided
to be a little crazy and try to go get t-shirts. We went to Academy, and the
line was out the door. We went to Dick’s next, and it didn’t seem too busy.
Well, we got in there and picked out our shirts, then we tried to find the line.
That when we realized that it was wrapped around the entire store! We started
waiting, and they we realized that we were going to miss lunch with the girls because
it was taking forever. Cory came up and rescued Mom and made it to lunch. I
waited in line for over an hour and finally paid for my shirts. Madness! The
cool thing was though, everyone was so happy and excited. Nobody minded waiting
forever, and everyone was just chatting it up in line. It was refreshing to see
so much excitement by everyone in the whole city.
