ballin'.

After getting to know us, you'll find out that Tommy will enjoy almost any football game. And I would rather go for a run. Which, if you're new to this blog, means that I really don't like football. I won't go into all of the reasons why, I will just tell you what our weekend was like.

So at CareGroup on Wednesday night, our new pastor invited everyone over to his house to watch the Florida/Kentucky game on Saturday. And I thought that would be fine because there would be food and other games. When he found out that Tommy is all for Alabama, he offered to let everyone come early for the 3:30 Bama/Arkansas game. So during this conversation, I'm mentally preparing to talk to the other girls the whole time and eat and kinda day dream off in la-la land...and reminding myself not to ask questions that make myself look like an unAmerican who has never watched football (even though we all know I'm forced to watch it all the time).

Then Friday, I get a text from Tommy: "Hey our boss offered us free tix to the florida game." Sweet. Awesome. Perfect.

So the mental preparation turns into - ok, Alabama game and then a Florida game where I'm stuck at the actual game.... so ready the people-watching and multiple-object-counting skills. Last time I was at a football game, I saw people spill food on themselves, a few people get hit with shakers, and really big guys intimidate skinny drunk ones who were losing and getting rowdy. No one else noticed these people. Sidenote: folks are ridiculous.

Tommy had a haircut before all this ballin' started. So at the haircut, Mallory is in charge of watching the iPhone and updating the Tommy on the Bama game that has started. By the time we get to the pastor's house, the Tide was losing. We watched for awhile, but then some kind of bad things were happening to the team so Tommy went outside where they were grilling because he was all upset. But I didn't want to get up. And there was a poor high schooler there watching the game all alone. So I stayed. And watched. Football. But at least I was cool indoors with no bugs and no Mallory trying to play cornhole and failing.

Then we went to the game. And our free tickets had got the hooooook up. We walk into an entirely indoor area with tvs and tables and couches and comfy chairs. AND free tea, lemonade, cookies, other food I didn't notice, nearly empty air conditioned bathrooms.... Rit-Z. And even though our seats were outside, they were on the very front row of a little balcony. And the weather wasn't steamy. So Kim and I enjoyed feeling richy while Tommy and Jon talked about the actual game.

So it wasn't that bad. And it was a nice free way to spend an evening! But I'm still excited for football to be done :)
