Rockies game and gettin close to strangers

Well, Saturday night we were given the opportunity to go to the Rockies game for free, thanks to Ty's work. :D
The rides there and back were rather interesting. After many last minute turns this way and then, wait, no that way...and lots of angry drivers cursing us as we drove past, we finally made it to the very farthest tracks station from our destination. We then rode the 45 minutes to the Colorado Rockies Stadium.
That tracks ride allowed us the opportunity to visit all the stops the tracks make since we had gotten on on the farthest South station and took it to the farthest North station. We were very happy when the ride was over!
We then made our way to the game. The game was...alright. I'm not a very huge baseball fan. I enjoy playing, but watching is so boring to me. However, I was happy that I can at least say now that I've been to a professional baseball game. :D Tyler enjoyed it as much as he could...one of the other guys with us lost his wallet and Tyler was trying to help him get all the numbers he needed to stop all his credit cards. (luckily one of the other guys found it after the game!)
The sunset was really pretty from where we sat. I also got to play around with the zoom on the camera and got some pretty cool shots of the pitchers.
Once the game was over we had no idea what we had gotten ourselves into!!! We got to the station right as a very VERY full train was about to leave. We decided to get on anyway because the next one would be a while and not much different. That was the LONGEST Tracks ride EVER! We were all standing next to each other rubbing backs, arms, shoulders. And it was so hot! But since we had chosen the station that we had, we eventually all got to sit down towards the end of the journey home as people got off on earlier stops.
It was a fun adventure, but next time I think we'll do things a little differently. :D
As for the every day life...things are going pretty well. I'm still job searching! Saturday I sent out a ton of requests and turned in some applications so hopefully something will turn up. I've worked for two weeks on this one that would of been awesome, but as the time passes it seems as though it's going to fall through... So keep praying! :D Here's some pictures! :D
