Super Bowl Champions

For many Americans, Super Bowl Sunday is just an excuse to get together. To eat junk food that one would never consider any other day of the year. To laugh at both clever and senseless commercials.

For the 20 or so people gathered in our home, Super Bowl Sunday was an epic event. Our beloved Packers team won the Lombardi trophy! Scot, Amy, and I spent two days preparing: unpacking all of our green and gold decor, purchasing serving items, making food, and transforming our entire house into a Packers "shrine." Scot couldn't have been happier. "So the house is finally how I like it. And it can stay like this, right?" Right.

The big game itself was enough to cause some heart palpatations - way too close for comfort! In my premonition from last year, I remember watching from our home loft the Packers play in the Super Bowl. I don't recall our winning the big game, but Scot insists that was part of my dream. When the final minute of the fourth quarter ran out, Scot and I stood in our loft, our friends cheering wildly, as the Packers won the Super Bowl.
