Engaged

Blurb in my Brian:

Readers, I don't think you understand what's happened here. Our Alyssa is ENGAGED. You. Yes You. You reading this RIGHT NOW. Post a comment! Tell her Congratulations! She has just made the decision to spend the rest of her life with a great man, who makes her very happy! That deserves some celebration!

Beyond all of that SUPER EXCITING AND WONDERFUL NEWS, my life has been pretty average. But, I did go to my first hockey game today.

Now, I am one of those girls who likes sports, and by sports, I mean football (other sports just aren't as good, though I will watch baseball too), but I never liked hockey. I mean, WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A SPORT THAT CAN END IN A TIE?! (I think that now they've changed that, and you can't. Is this right? D-o you know?) But, I happened in to some free tickets courtesy of my sister. and let me tell you, it was pretty awesome.

I'm used to going to the ball game, so I was sort of expecting that sort of a thing. But everyone at the hockey game was so IN to the game! Not only that, but everyone around us was super nice, and we got coupons and all other kinds of craziness.

Not to mention, that while these tickets were free for me (because I got them from my sister) but they were originally 27$. Not a whole lot of money. AND WE HAD CLUB SEATS. This meant that we had FREE CONCESSIONS for basically the whole game. FREE. Free soda, beer, nachos, pretzels, chicken fingers, salad, roast beef sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches. FREE. Now, I'm a recent college graduate, so I will take advantage of some free stuff like no ones business. It was awesome! Plus we won and there was some fighting, and stuff, so all in all it was a good time. Hockey is kind of brutal.
