Tri-City Americans 6 , Seattle Thunderbirds 4

This last Friday was my 40th birthday. I Can't believe that I am 40. I don't feel 40& I hope I don't look 40. I guess I can say life gets better with age or is it Ripened with age. Anyways, It was fun. I planned my birthday. It was a suprise for the kids and was driving them crazy just guessing. All I said is that they needed to dress warm because where we were going it was going to be cold. They laugh and asked, "Where are we going, Iceland?" I said pretty close. They kept guessing and of course I'd play back, not giving too much info to ruin my suprise. We left the house and arrived at the Toyota Arene. Angela was mad, she thought that we were going to watch the motocross races. Emily and MJ were excited. When we walked in the door they seemed confused. A Hockey Game? "But Mom you dont even like hockey", I heard. Oh no, Hockey is my favorite!! Really? they replied..I have been wanting to go to a hockey game for over 10 years!! It was a new experience for them never watching hockey before and sitting in the first row against the glass. And of course, MJ wants to play hockey now. It is going to be a fun season. Who will beat the 2007-2008 US Division Champs this year, I'm guessing Tri-City Americans will win again!!!
