Birthday at the Ballpark

A week ago today I celebrated my 22nd birthday in the best way possible: at the ballpark!

The Houston Astros 2017 and 2022 World Series banners above the home run train in left field of Minute Maid Park.

When I saw that the reigning Word Series Champions were going to be playing at home on my birthday, I knew I had to grab tickets to go. Once I secured my tickets months in advance, I then wanted to find the perfect game day outfit.

This bling Houston Astros logo v-neck was perfect for a casual and stylish look to don at the ballpark.

Upon entry to the game, everyone in attendance received a Jose Altuve 2022 World Series replica ring.

Before finding our seats, we visited the team store. There I was able to get a Jeremy Peña World Series white and gold jersey (thanks Mom!). I chose second-year shortstop Jeremy Peña’s #3 jersey to represent the day of my birthday on the 3rd of May.

Our seats gave us a perfect view of the field, in line with third base and home plate.

Even though we lost, we still had a great time at the ballpark. We were even witness to an Alex Bregman two-run home run, his first in Minute Maid Park this season.

All in all the stars had aligned for me to have a 22nd to remember!

Through Alice’s Eyes

If I bare my soul, will you listen or reject my two cents? 
Will you hang on to every word I say or take them for nonsense? 

Am I a complete fool to share the secrets I’ve only told the moon? 
What’s in it for me to give you the power to know me better than I do? 

I’ve not gone mad yet, but if that’s what it takes,
then I’ll lose my sanity in these scripts ten times over until you hear what I have to say.

Navigating this strange world—I haven’t quite figured out how.
If my words are to be preserved for posterity, tell me, do they mean something to you now?

Who I am today or what I could become, I may never know. 
They say my curious mind renders me naive, still, down the rabbit hole I must go. 

If this fall is to ever end,
will I find the answers I seek, in Wonderland? 

And if I look at the world through Alice’s eyes, 
will I too in the end, stop dreaming and open mine?
