This is old news by now, but the Twins have been doing quite well in their new home: Target Field. A couple weeks ago, Jason and I went to see them play and it was such a good game! We had sunshine, the front row, a home run, and a winning game! I’m definitely looking forward to my next trip to the field.

Of course I got sucked into the photo op.

My sunglasses are about twice the size of his. Because I’m so stylish, you know.

I kept missing the little pops of fireworks, but catching the smoke afterwards! I needed about three more of me to get all of the photos I wanted to get during exciting times.

The neon Minne and Paul were so very cool — a lovely throw-back to the Twins from long ago. Everything about this stadium was sort of touching and awesome like that.

Also: the toilets had two options for flushing in an effort to conserve water! I get excited about being eco-friendly.

(I would like to note that although the game I’m reporting about in these photos was a couple weeks ago, the Twins won at Target Field yet again tonight. Go team!)

Continued from my previous post…

I made Jason see some Vermillion sights since we were there and he’d never been to South Dakota. (There is still a whole lot of state left for him to see.) We actually started in Nebraska, but it was still “Vermillion” since we had only crossed the river outside of town.

I also brought him to the Shrine to Music Museum.

After we had our fill of music, we headed back home to Minneapolis. When I got home, a new beer was waiting for me. (It’s named for my neighborhood!)

Later in the week I went to see some stand up comedy with Crystal and Jess. It was open mic night, so it wasn’t great, but it was still fun.

I also started a flower garden in a little corner of my backyard. It’s cute! I can imagine I’ll be forgetting to water it a lot this summer, though.

I went roller skating with Vani. When do I get to go again? I need to make more time for this.

I also should make more time for house-hopping dinner parties, like a big group of friends of mine organized recently. It was a fun day and by only spending an hour and a half at each apartment, things didn’t have time to get dull.

I also recently won a couple of books via Twitter – go, go, Web Design learnin’!

Please have a seat. I have about 50 million new photos to show you, some of which are from (what seems like) forever ago. There is just too much life happening lately!

Jason took me to see Dan Navarro play with Michael McDermott at the Fine Line Music Cafe. It was a really good show and it’s entirely possible that I was more than a little happy to be out on the town with such a good man. A good date night will cure what ails you!

I went on a date with Hannie (and Karyn) to Underwater Adventures. We unfortunately didn’t see any barracuda (my favorite) but there were plenty of scary sharks! When is it not crowded? That would be a good time to go again with Hannie so she can spend less time being distracted by other humans.

Random: I’m surrounded by cute pets!

I caught an amazing Minneapolis sky a few weeks ago:

My brother, Ryan, finally married Jane.

The following day was the ceremony.

…and the celebration of Hannie’s first birthday!

…and — YUM! — dinner at Skitch and Chae’s house!

I also had the privilege of meeting a very new Miss Aurora Collier-Wise.

That was a very busy day. The following day I made Jason do some Vermillion sight-seeing, which I will continue in a new post.
