Gearing up for Football Season

Those who know me would probably be pretty surprised to hear that I love football season now! It's probably more about the excitement of hanging out with friends, a good burger before the game, and being a part of the crowd in the stands rather than the actual game itself. Don't get me wrong, I do actually watch the game, and I'm getting the hang of what's going on, but the atmosphere is more my thing. So far, the Ohio State game last year was my favorite, and while I forgot my camera, I did get to see Lance Armstrong, Matthew McConaughey, and Jake Gillenhaal in their sky box above. Here's a few shots from last season.

Happy 4th y'all!

I know these are cheesy, but here are some pics of our family this Sunday before the 4th. Brian and I actually did not plan to coordinate, but I thought it was too perfect to not try to snap a few pictures.


I also wanted to mention something that came up at church this morning. Do you know the last verse of the National Anthem? I'll let it speak for itself...

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
