Victory and Defeat


Last Sunday Todd and I, along with his good friend Jeff from Springfield, went to our very first pro football game. As you can tell from the picture above, our seats were WAY up in the top section, but they actually turned out to be pretty good. Aside from the people sitting around us, the seats were great! We could see all of the action, and with the use of our zoom lens, were able to get some decent shots. This is a picture of the two of us near the end of the game. I had told Todd to get us tickets for a game when it wouldn't be too cold, and I think God took me too literally in that request. It was HOT!!! We were all sweating and melting into each other by the end!


The Chiefs had been on a losing streak since oh...December of LAST year (I'm not sure it's been that bad, but it has been pretty dang sad.). Guess what?? The game we see--the Chiefs WIN!!! I told Todd maybe we needed to go see every home game to ensure they win every time. I don't think he bought it.


I just had to take this next picture for Todd's friend Jeff. The Chiefs were playing the Denver Broncos and Jeff is a HUGE Broncos fan! I thought this guy was just too funny to pass up.

During the game, we also had some entertainment besides the plays on the field. We were sitting directly in front of a row of Denver fans, and of course, directly behind them was a guy who is a poster-child for contraceptives and alcohol-free events. This guy kept egging on the Denver fans, but he just wouldn't ever quit. It got so bad at one point that someone called the security on him. He left but was let back in. Not two seconds after he came back, the real security police came by and escorted him out. We clapped as he was leaving! See ya!

Todd and I both really enjoyed having Jeff up here as a houseguest. We'll take all of you someday (just not all at once!).On a different note, I have spent the last 3 days at home sick. It started Tuesday or Wednesday with just slight sinus trouble, but by Wednesday night, I couldn't breathe, lay down without coughing, and on top of it all, I had a fever. I didn't want to miss work because I know I don't have many sick days since I am new to the district, but there was no way I was going to be able to function. I spent Thursday and Friday laying on the couch, watching TV and sleeping. I did end up going to Urgent Care for meds yesterday, but so far, they have not really kicked in. Today I woke up to even more trouble with coughing so hard that I threw up--TWICE. Not fun in the least! I am desperately hoping to be better tomorrow and I'm sure I'll be better by Monday. Hopefully the meds will do their job by then! I'm sure you all had a better week than I did. I'm hoping next week will be better for me!

I hope you are feeling better girl! I know what it's like to be panicked about sick days. I've been in that boat every year since Emmarie was born. I just can't seem to rebuild them.

Glad you all had fun at the game. So many great things to do up in the big KC!

I hope you are feeling better! Sorry to hear you were sick. Glad you had a great time at the Chiefs game....I have never been to one and actually been in the stands. Been in a box once, and marched a few games in highschool and college.

I want to plan a road trip to see kodi if you ware interested...
Also, we need to get together and do stuff like we said.

Hey girl! Thanks so much for sending the card and money to Em. She loved her Dora card and especially loved the money. She ended up with $56 in birthday money...at the age of 3. Can you believe that? She bought a Tinkerbell Barbie with your money. She's so excited for that new movie to come out next week. She's already asking for Tinkerbell's friends. I didn't even know Tinkerbell had friends.

You need to come down with Bonnie! That would be a ton of fun and you girls could definitely get to know each other well since you would be traveling together!

Take care. I hope you are having fun with your mom.
