GAME DAY

The day has come. It's official. Welcome back college football! Is it really back already? Seems like we were just doing this! Anyway, it's exciting all the same. Today we are all sporting our colors.

Shane got me a "game day" watch. Cute, huh?

The jerseys are courtesy of Grandma & Grandpa Tucker. These pictures are mostly for them!

And I have no doubt in my mind that Shane is wearing his nice Bronco polo with pride (I didn't see him before he left for work this morning).

I must say, I've come a long way in the football department! Shane is more than just a BSU fan. He is one of those...I-know-everything-about-every-team-and-every-player-in college-football...college football fans. And really, he knows it all. When it comes to this game, he soaks up copious amounts of facts and information and retains it all. If only retaining all the information for the CPA exam was so easy. If only. Needless to say, he's fun to watch games with because he can tell you all the history and fun facts about all the players to make you feel like you've been following the team from who knows where forever! I didn't really understand how deep his love for the game was when we married. But I do now!

While I was on bedrest, Shane was in heaven with ESPN at his fingertips. It made his stay at the "St. Luke's Resort" (as he would say) actually enjoyable. We watched a LOT of college football. During that particular season, I knew way more about random teams and players than I wanted to admit. So unlike me. But I would be lying if I said that I hated every minute of it.

I would also be lying if I said that I wasn't a fan of BSU football. I'll admit, I didn't embrace it right off the bat. I tried to resist it for a long time. When I was in high school and college, I never would have thought that BSU would be my school and my team. But then I met Shane. Not soon after...I'm a student at BSU. And to my surprise, I loved it. I met some great people, made some amazing friends, and had some outstanding professors. By the time I graduated, I was so proud to be BSU alum. I really do love the school. On top of us both being BSU alum, we are still living and growing in the community that bleeds BLUE & ORANGE. It is hard to live here and not be a fan. So, yes, I've embraced it. My boys are wearing jerseys on game day. And I'm more than OK with it! And I figure, the rest of my life is going to be a whole lot more fun if I embrace that which my husband loves. So, here's to today! Go BSU!!!

AND (if you are still with me) some more pictures for your viewing pleasure of our two little broncos!
