Boston Celtics at Madison Square Garden

Last month, for Valentine's Day / Anniversary, I surprised Ryan with a set of tickets to see the Celtics vs. Knicks at Madison Square Garden. (I had to pick up the tickets at will call on the day of the game but wanted something tangible to give him - I'm not sure if you can read the "fine print". Unfortunately, no cotton candy was sold at the arena but no worries, no tantrum occurred. ;)

As most of you know, I was born and raised in NYC. So why am I wearing a Boston Celtics jersey? Well, my fan-hood for all Boston sports teams: Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots... was a condition, I mean, requirement for our marriage. That and knowing what each bandanna color and weapon corresponds with what Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Yeah, you think I'm kidding. Ha.

It's super exciting because Ryan's a huge Celtics Fan and he's never been to an away game, I've never been to a NBA game, plus we're moving away from NYC so we won't have many opportunities in the near future to visit MSG.

We had a blast at the game. The fourth quarter was super exciting with a crazy Celtics comeback. In our 5+ years together, this may have been the first time I've truly paid attention to a Celtics game ;)

And the Celtics winning was the cherry on top.

  3. That is so awesome!! I love that invitation you created! And you guys look so cute - looks like you had a lot of fun! :) Mardy and I were watching at home (btw - I told Mardy about you & the Ninja Turtles, and I asked if he knew them all, and he listed off all of them + their weapons. HA :). Glad to see you had a great time!! :)
