Growing up we always came together at my grandparents' house for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've got great memories with all of us together, but it has been years now since I have seen most of them.
But a few weeks ago, one of my long lost cousins, Judy, decided she had had enough of not seeing anyone anymore! So she invited me to a fund raiser she was throwing (it was a coffee tasting! Fabulous!) and together we discovered that we both had an interest in soccer, but no one to see the games with...until now!
This makes the third professional game I've been too in my life: Mavericks, Red Sox, and now FC Dallas! We had fantastic seats here, thanks to my cousin making a wise purchase, and the food wasn't half bad.
Embarrassingly, neither of us really knew the rules, so we would just cheer and boo with the more knowledgeable fans.
There were only about three dramatic knee injuries that cured themselves instantly once the medic came out...Perhaps he was a magician.
I've got another cousin adventure coming up and I'm way excited! Not sure, but it may involve handlebar mustaches and a drum circle.
