Football is never something I have been interested in. I have never enjoyed watching sports I would much rather play sports than watch. I find it pointless. When I met and subsequently married my husband Kyle I was happy to find he also could not be bothered to watch. We went without TV for the 1st 2 years of our marriage. However this Louisiana boy I married could not resist the pull of the Who DAT nation forever. This year as the Saints drove for the super bowl I began to recognize names like Brees and Bush. I even put our 1year baby in a Reggie Bush onesie. I spent this last Sunday afternoon on the couch cheering on the saints to victory while I munched on carrot sticks and bit my finger nails.
I have to say that when porter caught the interception and went all the way I was out of my seat and jumping and screaming. Its funny how cultures meld together in a family. My Louisiana brother in law now cheers for the Montreal Canadians with my Dad and brother. And my Dad (the pastor of our church) served communion in a Saints Jersey this week. After all the Saints is a holy team.
Families are unique in their ability to join together and build their own culture and make their own traditions. Lots of different attitudes and way of doing things. A family weaves itself together like a tapestry lots of different threads and colors. I guess the point is every family is a beautiful work of art.
WHO DAT
HA that is so true! I don't like sports at all, and watching them on TV is even more boring. However, during the superbowl I was on the edge of my seat cheering/screaming the Saints on to their winning victory. My excuse was that I just wanted to see the commercials, but no, I actually enjoyed the game :)
