Mariner's Opening Day





Ben is the best. For our birthdays (Abby and Mine) Ben bought us opening day Mariner tickets. It's special too because this was the comeback of Ken Griffey Jr...and we're big fans of him! My Mom and Dad also went, everyone besides Ben. He's in Cali doing some work. So we finally get to our seats after driving around for an hour looking for parking, and I started to really miss Ben. It was so hard to be there without him. So after the second inning, my mom tells Abby and I to look up at the big screen for something special. And sure enough Ben had put a message up there for us! It said "Happy Birthday Allison & Abby. I love you two. Have fun at the game- Dad. I was shocked and so surprised. I started crying. I married such a good man. Words really can't describe how much I love him. He is everything to our little family, and we miss him terribly.

Thank you Dad for our awesome presents, and the sweet message on the Jumbo-Tron!! We both felt so loved.

Mac enjoying the view. Griffey at his first at bat back home! Our message. (Sorry I couldn't zoom in anymore..but you get the idea!)

oh how fun! You have such a sweet husband he has always been the greatest. I want to see some pictures of your cute baby bump. Do you have any names picked out yet?
