29.

Last weekend was Matt's 29th birthday! We were talking about how old we were when we first started dating and he was only 23...crazy how fast time goes by. For his birthday the only thing he wanted was to go to a Bellingham Bells game with our friends. The Bells are a local baseball team and surprisingly, after 10 years in Bellingham, we have never been to a game. So...to make it extra special, I talked with the general manager and was able to have Matt throw out the 1st pitch! He was SO excited! This was Cluck, the mascot. Not really sure why they have a chicken as their mascot, but it was still fun. He came up through the stands and shook Carter's hand. Carter just stared in amazement while the other kids nearby screamed in terror. Hilarious!

Matt getting ready to throw out the first pitch. We have it on video, but I'm too tired right now to post it. I'll put it on the blog eventually. Great friends came to cheer him on (and play with Carter for most of the game - it was wonderful!) Thanks Caity and Meredith!Matt's parents came up too.

During the game they also had the stadium sing him Happy Birthday and gave him a free t-shirt. So much fun! Happy 29th Birthday Matt!
