We started off that morning not telling Olivia what we were doing in the afternoon. She knew about the evening stuff. First things first, she had to get dressed in her Cardinal's gear.
Getting ready to go for the day:
From there, we went downtown...unfortunately, we forgot the St. Patty's Day parade was that day. That made for some interestingness. Also, we were the only people downtown not wearing green. :)
Yay! There's a parade today...is that what we're doing?
Nope...not what we're doing...we're headed to Busch Stadium! Better than that...we're headed to a tour of Busch Stadium!
Us girls outside:
Yeah baby! All Star Game 2009!!! That's right!
Look how pretty the field is!
So, we walked around the stadium with our tour guide. There was only about 15 or so of us on the tour. It was really neat to get to see the behind the scenes stuff at the stadium. One such behind the scene included my next pic.
This is where they broadcast the games from. The windows open up so you can hear the crack of the bat and the vendors selling junk food!
Um...next...we actually got to go out onto the field!!! Woot!!!!
Can you tell Olivia's excited?
The view the players get!
That's right, we got to go inside the dugout too! Wonder who's butt has sat here? :)
I love this pic! Us girls!
From the field!
I was quite excited too!
After going out on the field...we went past where Fredbird lives. He's not normally there on days when they don't play, but because he had to be in the St. Patty's Day parade, we got a special experience.

Oh...and Liv got proposed to. She already said she's leaving her fiance for Fredbird. :)
Now Fredbird is going to carry her away!
The good times didn't last long though as she realized later that she sucks at bowling.
Becker was doing pretty fabulous though.
However, no one did as fabulous as me! I won the second game and apparently the series! That's right, I rock! (Check out the R...that's me! 128 Baby!)
Then we went to change clothes for the evening and ate some of the yummy cupcakes I made. They're funfetti! With blue icing...which I food colored. :)
After that, it was off to Target in search of a veil Olivia could wear for the evening. We did find someone else who wanted her attention:
Yay for us! Don't we look pretty?
So, that night, we went to a dueling piano bar. It wasn't as fun as the first time Becker and I had been, but we had a good time. The bad things were we had to wait 45 minutes before anyone waited on us (not too big of a deal, we'd be there all night, but we did have to bring a manager over to ask where our waitress was) and two...we waited for them to play our song for her...they played it, but didn't mention anything about her getting married b/c a bunch of other people requested it too. :( So we requested another song...took them and hour and a half before they played it and that's because our waitress had to go over there and make them. After that, we left because we were tired...we suck...it was only 11:30 pm...lol! Whoo! Look how crazy we are!
Now Fredbird is going to carry her away!
After all the baseball madness, we went bowling. Since that's what Olivia really wanted to do.
Here is is getting her first strike!

We got her a veil and she got all cutsie for the night.

The piano player was singing Let's Get It On...so the other player had to come over and be serenaded:
Olivia and I dancing to Rock Your Body...the song we requested...finally!!!!
So, that was our fun, fun night. Olivia gets married tomorrow, which means I won't be the only one of us out of our group married anymore. That will be nice...although he goes to Iraq in like a month from now...so we won't get to spend any time with the two of them. :(
I'll be sure to post some wedding pics as I'm the official photographer for tomorrow. This makes me kinda scared. I've never done a wedding completely by myself before. Hope I do well! :)
