Posters at the Rally!
There has been a lot of excitement in Boston with the Red Sox going to the World Series and Sweeping the Colorado Rockies! Christian and I are both happy the series ended fast because the games were on pretty late in our time zone and we were getting a little tired staying up late and getting up early for work. We realized soon, however, that it was not just us walking around like zombies, it was the whole city. So yes, we decided we are OFFICIALLY Red Sox Fans, we wanted to share this news with everyone! We came to the conclusion that we cant live here for the next 5 years and not be fans, after all these are the most die hard fans we have ever seen and we want to be part of it!
When the Red Sox won the series the city of Boston has a "Rally"/Parade for the team through the city. It was on a Tuesday @noon and I had to work so I couldn't go, but Christian didn't have school so he decided to head down for the festivities. One may think that not to many people can attend due to work and school but I think 80% of the city called in sick to work and skipped class to be a part of this historic event!
Jacoby Ellsburry is the Center Fielder and one of the fastest guys on the team. Don't you just wish your name was Coco Crisp?
During the Rally the players went down the streets of Boston on the duck boats and waved at the fans. Pretty exciting stuff. Many folks in town took this as an opportunity to be drunk by noon which led to a few people in the crowd being arrested, one of which Christian got to see!
We have really enjoyed the excitement of the events and look forward to following the team that beat the curse!
Go Sox!

Laci, you've been tagged-check our blog for info!
Go Sox, indeed! We only lived in Boston for a year but that was long enough for us to become part of Red Sox Nation. You guys are lucky to have been there for all the excitement. Once again, I'm jealous!
Laci - I don't know if you remember me, but we lived in the 1100 court when Christian was in the bishopric! We only lived there for few months before you guys moved away, but the small world that we live in, I found your blog from my cousins! Shane and Ollie Parker! Anyway, yeah for the Sox winning - I grew up in Corvallis, OR, so I am a Beavers fan - and Jacoby Ellsbury played at OSU! So I like the sox too. Glad to have checked out your blog! - Jackie Beattie
