Rob and I have become true Cardinals fans! How do you know you are a true Cardinal fan? Your weekly grocery shopping trip becomes all about discovering the perfect game food. Your dogs have team jerseys for game day. You fold down the couch/futon in the living room so you can fully lounge while watching the game. The dogs beg to go outside in the sunshine and you don't even notice (not to mention the lovely gifts they leave on the floor). You scream and yell at the players as if you knew them personally. You watch the Christian channel because you see Kurt Warner doing an interview. You high five strangers you don't even know. You wait over an hour just to pull out of the parking lot at the stadium after the game. You cry in your husbands arms while they walk of the field after having lost the Superbowl and all you can think about is maybe next year.
I know this all sounds silly but football has become an unexpected gift in our home. It is one of the only moments in the midst of a crazy week that Rob and I can unwind and not have a care in the world. What are we to do now? Well, we haven't figured that out yet but I am sure we will. So with all that said I am grateful for the silly things in life. I guess maybe it keeps us in balance.
