Super Bowl Sunday

It's a very gray Super Bowl Sunday here in Deerfield. It snowed a couple more inches this morning--which we needed, obviously--so it is perfect weather to sit in front of the TV and watch big men throw each other on the ground. I decided as of this morning that I would be a good wife and, ahem, root for the Steelers along with my husband. I agreed to do this since I started feeling bad for singing the Steelers Fight Song to Aaron but inserting "Packers" every time "Steelers" should have been sung (along with any Packers players I knew... which resulted in a song entirely about Aaron Rodgers). I have to admit that my loyalties all along were with the Steelers or the commercials, anyway.

I'm more of a hockey person... this was taken in my old Pgh apartment circa 2009

I miss my Pittsburgh friends a TON--but I don't miss a lot of "Steeler Nation". During my time in the city, I lived in this one apartment on a wild street on the outskirts of the college neighborhood. I was hanging out with Aaron's family during the last Steelers Super Bowl, and when I arrived back in Pittsburgh after the game I found that the bus shelter I normally waited under for my commute was destroyed and that a couch or two had been incinerated on the sidewalk--all on my block alone! And the Steelers had WON that game! It's comforting to know that I will most likely not run into any burnt furniture on the way home from another Super Bowl party tonight (especially since that party is also on campus, woohoo!). 


Besides, it would be hard to set any armchairs on fire outside with all of the SNOW. Man, we got a lot of snow. I ended up getting two days off from work, and Aaron didn't have class those days either. We instead got to hang out with some on-campus friends, catch up on our Netflix queue, and read new blogs (like this one by my new friend and fellow blogger Laura!).

Tuesday night right outside our apartment building...

Have a fun evening eating tortillas and salsa! Tune in next time for another blog post about something else. Go Football!
