Monday, October 30th. Today we got to bring Remington home! I had a whole bag of clothes for him and Nathan chose an outfit. We (Nathan) packed up all our belongings and took them out to the car. We got Remington all latched into his carseat and out we went. We left around 6pm. Remington's first breath of Colorado Mountain air! We went through Chick Fil A on the way home. I got in the back seat with Remington....he was scared to be alone. (His first manipulative cry!)
When we got home, we watched the "playoff" game before the playoffs. The Rockies hosted San Diego in a "winner goes, loser stays home" playoff game. Who knew three weeks ago that this would be the Rockies fate?!? It's so exciting. More so than the Broncos, who at this point have not been impressive. I went to bed when the Rockies were down 5-4. I had the game on the radio and last I knew Rockies were ahead 6-5 in the 7th inning. San Diego tied it in the 8th inning. I fell asleep for a while and Nathan brought Remington to me so I could feed him. By now the game was in the 13th inning with San Diego winning 8-6. Rockies were up to bat.
I thought "well, they made it farther than people thought they would." Then all of a sudden the place went crazy. Tulowitzki doubled to deep center, Matsui scored. Holliday tripled to deep right, Tulowitzki scored. Carroll hit sacrifice fly to right, Holliday slid into home and was called safe! Rockies won 9-8!!! We're going to the playoffs! What an incredible game. I was hooping and hollering all the while trying to feed a baby! Me being the huge sports fan, I had tears rolling down my face. I called my mom and we celebrated over the phone at midnight!
