I love football in the fall!!

This weekend was one of my favorite weekends!!! I love the fall in Minnesota...I love the chill in the air & the crisp, sunny days. I love cuddling up and watching college football on Saturdays...and the Vikings (+Favre) on Sundays. Sometimes I wish I would've been a boy - so I could've played football (my dad & Nate think I'm crazy when I say that - but seriously, I just LOVE the game!!!).

We spent most of the weekend up at my parents' house - my mom was up at the lake taking care of Papa, so we spent the weekend with my dad. We relaxed all weekend! Saturday was so fun. We slept in - and then went to visit the house my parents are building - we had not been up there for a few weeks, so we were very excited to see the progress! It's beautiful. We love it. I can't believe how quickly they're building it - it's really coming along nicely. I can't wait till they move in! It's going to be a great home. Then we made a quick stop at the farmer's market & stocked up on some fresh food for dinner. We spent the rest of the day watching football & cooking...I made fresh, homemade salsa (it was delicious!!!!!!). For dinner, I braved a 'slow-cooked' meal - I know, it's easy...but I'd never used a CrockPot before...so I was a little nervous. It turned out great though. We had picked up some fresh potatoes, and carrots at the farmer's market....and I made a yummy slow-cooked meal. Nate was not excited about it at first - but he gave me an A+ after eating it...so I guess it turned out ok!

We were excited to see the Badgers beat Michigan State- (and Nate was happy to see the Buckeyes crush Illinois). After watching football all day, it was great to get out on the golf course Saturday night. Dad, Nate & I played 9 holes- not my best golfgame of the season - but, it was still really fun. It's a nice golfcourse - and it was a perfect night for golf with my favorite 2 guys!

Went to church with dad yesterday morning. Very nice. Then we headed to the Vikings game!! I was so, so excited! We got lucky with 1st row tickets - - it was so fun to be so close to everything! The metrodome is actually really fun for Vikings football games - it gets SO loud in there!! It's crazy exciting. If you missed the football game, I would highly, highly recommend watching the highlights. Here's a 4 minute clip definitely worth watching: YouTube: Favre Favre & the Vikings won the game with a last-second unreal touchdown pass. It was AMAZING!!!!!!!! The pass was incredible - the catch was unbelievable - the Metrodome exploded!!!!!!! It was an incredible feeling!!!! I love cheering for the Vikings - and I love seeing Favre succeed. He is so talented. Anyway, I could go on & on about how exciting it was - it was a great moment in Minnesota football!!!! We loved every second of it!

We're excited to go to the Badgers vs. Gophers game next Saturday with dad & Uncle Mike at the new Gophers stadium - I loooooooove football! I wish every weekend were as fun as this! Doesn't get much better!!
