Before and After and Always

All season I had visions of how the postseason would go this year. Beat San Fran to make up for our first week loss to them. Beat Seattle to make up for that game where they "beat us" when the replacement ref mistook an interception for a TD. And then on to the Superbowl, against Denver. But when Denver lost yesterday I was even happier. I have no bad blood with Denver but I felt like our chances of winning were even better with them out of the picture.

So we geared up and went to watch the game with our friends, The Christiansens, and well, you know how it ended.

In fact, why don't we just sum up the day with a before and after picture.

Before..so happy in her cheesehead that she picked out with her birthday money from Grandpa bob.

And After

I know so many of my friends and family fit in to the cliche Mormon Steve Young/San Fran fan category and I would totally jump in and root for your team with you if they were starting Alex Smith, but since they are not, I will not. Instead, I will be pulling for the Ravens.

And even though this was a disappointing football weekend for us, I have to confess that I felt a little better, okay, a lot better, when Seattle lost. This may sound cruel, but in my previously referenced post season visions I saw their season ending with a hail mary to the end zone for an interception. Of course, I did hope we would be the other team on the field, but it did give me some satisfaction to flashback to week 3 as they threw that pass up and then to see it end this time the way it should have ended last time. Justice!

But in the end, that does not take away the sting of our own post season defeat. I hate to see the season end, but there is always next year, and until then Green Bay, we remain your faithful Cheeseheads.

Always!

I don't have much to say here since I'm not only not a Packers fun but also not a fan of football. I will say everyone looks cute all decked out in green and gold. You know how much I like those colors (with aqua mixed in, too, of course).

Audrey is concerned that Chloe is crying, she thinks her finger is hurt.

I was going for either the Packers or 49ers for you and Estaban. I was happy that niners won though since they were more due for a win. I def want them to take it now.

Miss having a local football team to cheer for - so we end up cheering for ones that seem to mean a lot to people who mean a lot to us. That means we've been cheese heads this year, too. Would have been cheering for them all the way with you. Kind of takes the fun out of the Super Bowl not knowing which team to cheer for.

It was a very bad day for football. Eric of course loves the Broncos, and Emma and I love the Packers. Our dream was that they play each other at the superbowl, but that dream was totally shattered. Sad. Hopefully next year will be better!
