O Canada

Last week was my 24th birthday and thanks 2 my great friends i feel like i have been celebrating for nearly 2 weeks (1 b4 n 1 after)

And all of the fun started the weekend before when my friend Alyssa accompanied me to Columbus, Oh to watch friends of mine play against the Crew on Saturday.

My friend Marvell plays 4 Toronto FC and boy did he give us the birthday hook-up! :)
Not only did he give us great front row tickets, but he spoiled us by bringing extra game jersey's for us to wear AND giving us the heads up as to what his fans had to offer... n boy am i thankful that he did! here is a quick game day itinerary run down:

11:30am- take taxi from team hotel to field. (game time 4pm mind you)

11:46am- spy field full of REDS
11:47am- exit the taxi.
11:47:15am- rushed by 5000 TFC fans that came on buses that morning at 4am from Toronto!
(realize we r the only females as far as we can see! ha)
12:00pm- have new Canadian best friends who make it their duty to show us how they do it up north.
1:00pm- Alyssa decides to have the fan's sign Marv's jersey i have on w inspirational thoughts... most only can think to sign their: name, city of origin, or...'you r fast man' ;)
2:00pm- follow the loud music & find a circle of people dancing 2 known by heart fan chants
3:00pm- find some Canadians who know how to BBQqqqqq!
3:30pm- Alyssa's mom Nancy arrives to see the game
4:00pm- GAME TIME... watch the guys pull out a tie while in great company!
needless to say... we had a great time hanging out with great people during the day, and then enjoyed our great friends company that night as we painted Columbus RED!
