A few weeks ago, David introduced me to the amazing world of baseball cards. Primarily for collecting but also for trading. I bought my first box of cards a few weeks ago, and got some neat cards on ebay, and bought the cutest binder to put them in. I spent an entire afternoon organizing the cards alphabetically first by team and then by player name. All of my OCD friends will smile knowingly when I say - it was the best day!
Tonight I bought a box of old cards and Dave and I sat down and went through them together. And it was so much fun, we open the packages and got excited with some of the cards-like my Joe Girardi Cubs card, and a card for Andre Dawson who just got into the hall of fame. Yay! David got a lot more as the cards were mostly a gift from me to him.
It's nice to have a new hobby. My life, for the past few years, has been mostly studying, and working, and riding on the rare days when I am off from work & the weather is nice. But this baseball card thing is a nice change of pace, and most importantly something that Dave and I can enjoy together. I'm looking forward to us collecting more cards through the years.
I have to finish this post with the pride of my collection, an autographed rookie card from Nyjer Morgan. He is my favorite National and one of my favorite MLB players, ever. I don't have a good picture of it yet so I will need to work on that & post it.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately - this last week included a final exam,a wedding shower, a visit to Newport News to start preparing for my move back to school, and by tomorrow morning, 30 hours of work on top of that. But I'm doing well, missing my social life but hopeful things will settle down soon.
