Angels won and ran into the pastor who's going to marry us

[ocnative]

So tonight was Mariner's night at Angel Stadium. They played the Mariners and well, there was a whole lotta church people there in red T-shirts that said Angels 08 Mariner's Church. We had terrace level seats (out in the boonies but thank GOD they were in the shade) and wouldn't you know who sat two rows behind us but Pastor Jeff Pries.

So I did the whole, "I really should say something, but I don't want to come off like a dork," anyways, I finally turned around and said hi and that we had taken his pre-marital class back in February. Chris turned around and Jeff goes, "Oh yeah hi!" (We made a funny impression on the class because we were one of the very few / only ones not engaged by the end of the 5 week class.) So then I said, "You're marrying us in November!" So he joked and said, "Does my assistant know this?" and pointed to the woman directly behind me which I came to find out had been the one I had been emailing with since Day 1 about the class, about getting married at the church and about having Jeff marry us. Of course he was there with his 4 small kids and she kept making jokes that he took his rowdy bunch to all the weddings he performs.

The Angels were really choking in the beginning and I thought we were going to lose, but after Juan Rivera hit a homer, it just kinda all fell together for the team.

For any locals on my flist who shops at Stater Bros, apparently there is some beef recall that just hit the news. There isn't a lot of info yet, so check and see if you have any. I shop there, but have been buying my beef at Fresh and Easy.

We love Stater Bros…couldn't believe how much less expensive everything there is when we first moved here! Luckily, we don't eat beef, so we're okay!

Yeah I used to be a big Ralph's queen but switched to Stater Bros because it is the closest to my house and now I have a Fresh and Easy even closer and I go there first and then go to SB for whatever F&E doesn't have.

Hey, that is cool. You're building relations with people in the church. Gotta start somewhere! That was funny, though.
