...yup, the Astros are WINLESS in games I've been to this year! I think all of Houston would be screaming at me if I went to the amount of games as I did last year. Last year I was to 32 (if I recall) and they were 20-12 or so. That was doable. This year...no wins!
When it was 5-0, and the Astros had two men on base, I got up and went for nachos. I tested the jinx...well it wasn't me (I think), because they grounded into a double play and ended the inning. By the time I got back to our seats, there were two solo homeruns hit, making it 7-0!!! Needless to say, the game ended 8-1. They got that one measly run in the bottom of the ninth...after we all left! (Maybe it was me, but 1 run is hard to win a game by!)
Overall it was a fun game, hanging out with the JR and Jenn, Luis, Marc, Matt and Jason. Had fun, just wish they could've pulled off a win. I guess we'll find out if things can change this Friday when Deb and I head to the game. (It's Retro Workout T-Shirt giveaway day...)
Oh, taking the loss today was okay considering we paid $1 for our seats! Thanks JR for taking care of that! Definitely can afford games for a buck! If only we could combine dollar hot dog day with dollar seats...now that'd be a sellout, no doubt!

Honeymoon Updates...they'll keep coming, too!
So I have been hard at work at our honeymoon agenda and have some updates. We changed our hotel on the first night to the 4-star Hotel Artemide in Central Rome. We are sooooooo excited to get our honeymoon off in luxury. On tripadvisor.com it is rated the #12 hotel out of the 1340 hotels in Rome. Here is the exterior:
And one of the rooms:
During our cruise I have added another country to our list! I have read so much about our stop in Monte Carlo, Monaco, to realize we are only a few minutes from France! So, at some point during our 11 hour stop in port, we'll take the train or bus across the border to Nice, Cannes and St Tropez on the French Riviera! As for time, though, we'll likely only get to some of the area. We are also planning on doing the Monte Carlo casino (jacket and tie required for men, dresses for women). Can't wait for our stop there!
Lastly, we finally booked our final night in Vatican City. We are only minutes away from Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican city and St. Peter's square, Trevi’s Fountain and Pantheon. Yay! We are booked at the Sant'Angelo Hotel. Had to go easier on the pockets, so we'll have to do with the recommendations of Frommer's and tripadvisor (#385).

Our Wedding Brew
Debbie's dad made us a wedding brew earlier in the year. Deb blogged about it: DT Wedding Train Brew
When Deb was just in Denver last month she brought a bottle back and we were able to sample it. Yesterday we were out getting more wedding stuff done (including going to nearly every jeweler around town to find a suitable wedding band for Deb) and when we got home it was just the perfect night to break it out. Here is the label:
And since we were uncertain which to put the Belgian inspired brew in, we picked our two favorite beer glasses:
One thing we were certain of, it was GREAT! And it'll only get better with age!

Honeymoon Planning Book
Further to what I was saying in a previous post, I'm organizing our honeymoon. Not only am I organizing it, but I'm responsible for the documents! I'v organized and compiled everything into a nifty baseball book. I was out wedding shopping with Debbie and of course it caught me eye. I was like, "I need it." It was a no-brainer! :-)
(This is where Debbie is REALLY putting her trust in me! I have the tendancy to be forgetful...plus I can be clumsy. Considering I have dropped my keys down an elevator shaft and a manhole, who's to say I won't do that again, this time with a book!)
But it's a baseball, how can I lose that?

PE!
So, my PE Certificate came last week and I immediately went and got it framed. Then I brought it and hung it up in my office!
Funny because when I took the pic, I found this one...
This is what I had to deal with studying...Debbie wouldn't bother me (she was awesome!!!) but it was Midnight. It was "meow meow meow...play with me!"
