Wow! Winwin weekend was an absolute blast. I really don't think it could of gotten any better. I am going to write a little bit about each day!
Friday:
This was probably one of the most exciting days in my entire life. My mom, dad and I were headed to the game and I can one mission and it was to meet David Price. We got into Target Field and went straight down to the vistor dugout and waited and waited. They took batting practice, shagged fly balls, stretched. I could see David Price standing in centerfield and I was VERY frustrated because it was becoming closer and closer to game time and no one had signed. When batting practice was finally over, I saw him jogging over with James Shields and he threw his glove to Shields, my stomach was doing flips, I was so excited. He started pretty far down the line, so I was a little worried he would run out of time, but sure enough, he came down and I asked for a picture, and he said of course! I was soo shaky, you could totally tell i was nervous! Then he signed for my dad, and then asked me if I had something for him to sign, so I gave him the baseball. We then had to try to make it up to our seats and get something to eat and in the mean time, I thought I was going to collapse because I was shaking so badly. I had tweeted "I am absolutely shaking. Mission completed." and EVERYONE was like Oh my gosh! Did you meet him?!!? and asking all sorts of questions! When I finally got to my seats, I saw that I had a Direct Message from David, making sure that I was one of the people that he signed for and I explained, he knew exactly which one I was. Then I got this tweet from David and everyone knew I met him...

Yes, this is very true. I waited for over an hour and my dream finally came true! I am writing this with a smile still and I am getting a little shaky, it was so awesome to see how much he cared about his fans.
Saturday:
I was still smiling this day because I was still excited from Friday! I was very antsy during the day because I just wanted to leave for the game! Price was pitching! :D When we did get there, we went down to the same spot we did the night before and waited till the Rays were done taking batting practice! In the middle, Ryan Roberts came over and signed for everyone, he rocks and his tattoos are pretty sick.

Then after everyone else went in the clubhouse, Alex Cobb came over to sign!
Okay, so that was that. Then we got some food and headed to our seats, I was having an internal battle with myself because I was cheering for and against Price at the same time... arg! it was frustrating, but atleast the game was close this time! Price is an unbelievable talented pitcher, but I like to think he was just showing off for me ;) hahaha! My dad and I had some super amazing seats and it was awesome to see the game so close! The Rays ended up winning 4-2 and Price got his #15 win! In a way, this weekend was just perfect that I got to meet Price friday and see him pitch Saturday! Also got to talk with David a little after the game on Twitter! :D
Sunday:
Okay, this day was the most nerve racking day of them all! I was off to run my first 5K with my mom! It was the 15's 5K, Glen Perkins of the Minnesota Twins and his wife put it together to benefit Cystic Fibrosis! I was SO nervous before the race, but once we got going they went away! My mom and I finished in about 36 minutes, it was awesome! I got to receive my medal from Twins pitcher Brian Duensing, so that was so cool!

Please do not use pictures (because they are of me, and that is weird!)
So, this was definitely my best weekend all summer! So many people that made it so special! I still can not believe that I got to meet David Price, eep! I think I am going to have to make winwin weekend tradition! Oh and one more David Price tweet from when I was writing this blog :)
