LML!!!!!!!!! it does not get any better than this!! Justin Morneau's Casino Night

So my plan for Sunday was to sit in my PJ's all day, watch the Twins/Braves game... It's been too long since I've done NOTHING. So that was what I was going to do.  I left my phone in my bedroom and started watching the game. Around 1, I went into the bedroom to get my phone.  I had several missed calls from Jenny.  I call and say whats up?? she says "do you want to go meet Justin Morneau with my husband?" i was like 'Hell YES I do!!"  Ryan and I made our plans to meet up around 5 as it started at 6pm.
I was sooo nervous getting ready, I'm going to meet JUSTIN MORNEAU my FAVORITE Twins player!!  Did my hair, my toes, my makeup.. picked out a dress, I was lookin GOOD! 
Justin Morneau's Casino Night is a fundraiser for Arthritis.  I believe one of Justin's nieces has juvinal arthritis.  Anyway, it was in the Legend's Club at Target Field. Little did I know that I'd be back so quick after Wednesday Night's game!  Right away when we got there, we got in line to get our photos taken with Justin. We heard rumors that we'd probably see other players tonight along with Justin.  Holy crap, had I known this when I was getting ready, I'd have been REALLY nervous!  Anyway, The line went pretty quickly, it was $10 for this photo, money going to the Juvenile Arthritis foundation. 
I got my photo taken with Justin. I was so nervous, it looks like I'm scared of him.  he was not so nervous about meeting me though, as you see, he's got his arm around me :)
And then the flood gates opened, Twins players everywhere!! check these photos out!!





Here I am with Justin. Totally nervous, hardly getting near him....
Standing waiting my arrival...

My Scotty Baker :)  he was checking out the stuff up for auction.. I asked if I could get my photo with him. He was so sweet :)  Since he was just the second Twins player I met, I was still really nervous here... I could tell Scott was expecting some sort of conversation after this photo, but all I could say was "thank you" How embarrassing!!!
Me and Denard. He wanted to see the photo to make sure it looked good :)
Kevin Slowey and me... He was my favorite. He talked to me and Ryan for a while.. Ryan asked him a question, and he answered "you know, we are people, just like you... " He talked with us for a while, more than any other player, very down to earth.  He was beautiful! and he smelled sooooooo goood!
chillin at the wive's table with the man Joe Nathan.
We were watching for Joe like a hawk... We knew he'd be there, it was just a matter of time before he showed up.. We were the first to get our photo taken with Joe!  He was very sweet, just as I figured he'd be. He laughed at Ryan when Ryan told him that everyone says they look alike... set them side by side, and they look nothing alike!!
Ahhh Mr JJ Hardy! Much better lookin as a twin than a brewer...
and my man Cuddy!! He was also very sweet. Ryan told Michael that his buddy looks just like Michael.. Michael laughs and says "he must be a good lookin guy!!"  too funny!
Carl and his creepy 'stach!
and the fun begins!  Justin waiting to play some Texas Hold 'em
Ryan, Jim Thome and Me, photo taken by Mrs. Thome, who was so very sweet, and beautiful!
and finally, Matt Tolbert, and Nick Punto... I guess one photo had to not turn out... the guys look good anyway!! I laughed when I saw the photo too, looks like Nick has his hand on my ass..... Their next game, Punto was on fire. I attribute that to my ass.  

I had the time of my life meeting these guys, they were all amazing :)  I can die a happy woman now!!
