Baseball update! Also, my day. And my last weekend. And work.

Hello, all! I like saying it like that because even though there are probably only a couple people reading this, it sounds like it could be dozens or hundreds or even more!
So, this past weekend was awesome. I was the only person I saw watching fireworks with a Happy St. Patrick's Day shirt on. Prior to that, however, I had quite a fun time, especially with my brother-in-law Jon. We had a slam dunk contest on a 9-foot hoop. By saying that, I actually mean, I dunked a bunch, and he started to, but decided not to break a sweat so he stopped trying. After that, we played a made-up game on a huge trampoline at my cousins' house. I felt like a small child, because I was enjoying myself so much doing such a simple thing! Then we played frisbee, awesome day.
After fireworks, which were very beautiful, loud, bright, exciting, in a word: fireworky, my sister Em and my parents and I went back to my cousins' to have a fire, and we took some pretty sweet pictures, which I will hopefully put up as soon as my dad puts them online. We set his camera to a 20-second exposure, and used sparklers to draw designs in the air, and some of them turned out pretty neat.
Anywho, Sunday I went to another wedding, and got to sing and dance, and we listened to too many Michael Jackson songs. Such is life.
I probably shouldn't have gone, because I got such a terrible sore throat last weekend when I went to a wedding from singing so loudly that I was kinda sick all week, and I knew I'd feel even worse. So I couldn't really fall asleep last night, til like 2, and then I woke up at 5 coughing, couldn't fall back asleep til 6:30, then had to wake up at 7 to go to work. And the boxes were equally as disinteresting as they were last week. But I came back this afternoon and had a lovely nap for about 40 minutes before I went to my baseball game.
Which brings me to the main reason I'm writing this particular blog--that I am not busy at all. True, because I'm all alone and not yet tired, but the real reason is that I just had a baseball game tonight that went quite well. I pitched 7 innings, struck out 9, and gave up 4 runs, and also batted 3-3 and 2 walks and I had 2 runs scored and 2 RBI's. We ended up winning 14-8, woot!
I have now run out of things to say.
Until next time,

Moved In

Well, I have moved in with my sister, Emily, my bro-in-law, Jon, and my nephew, Josiah. And by moved in, I mean I brought enough clothes to rotate about every 3 days, a toothbrush, and...that's about it for now. But I am new to the blogging world, introduced to it by my sister. I am excited to be in Milwaukee, the land of the great oyster cracker. I look forward to doing something interesting enough to blog about, all I have right now is baseball, which is plenty interesting to me, but maybe not you guys. I'm going to write about it anyway.
I play for the Branch Blaze, a semi-pro team near Manitowoc. I also played all 4 years my college eligibility would allow, and finally got all-conference this past year :) I am a pitcher, and I also play shortstop. We are playing well for now, and I am batting .384 so far this year, which is about .100 higher than last year :-p Alright, enough about baseball, back to the other interesting events of my life...
One of my softball teammates got married Saturday, and I went to the reception, finding myself stag. I felt like a wedding crasher, minus the hooking up with someone and not getting invited part. Other than that, I started my job packing semis for FedEx today. I put my Tetris skills to the test, but not so much my degree in Psychology. Boxes don't need much counseling. I might if I'm in this job too long, though. Ugh.
K, that's all for now, I am probably going to join my sister's photo challenge that she does weekly, so hopefully I can at least put up a couple respectable pictures. She said most of the people in it are women, so they wanted a guy's point of view. But I took a masculinity/femininity test on facebook, and I was ruled to be 57% feminine, so I'm not sure it will be much different.
Until we meet again, or if we haven't met, until we meet,
