Go Blue Jackets!

February 16, 2008

Rick & I had a fun date night last night while Mallory had a fun night at Auntie Em’s. My old friend Hitch is the coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets and got us tickets to the game.
We had a quick dinner in Greektown and sort of took our time getting to the Joe – I was looking forward to seeing Coach after the game and the time in between was just fluff. Plus I figured Coach wouldn’t know if we got there late anyway. I didn’t even bring my camera because usually the seats are up in the …

Guam Trip, Off-topic, travel

Travel Blog #2

January 12, 2008

Well, if you’ve gotten this far, you know we are going to Guam. We have had this trip planned since last February, as soon as we could book the flights with our frequent flyer miles.
Why Guam? I was born on Guam, my dad was in the Navy, and we lived there until I was 1.5 years old. Obviously I don’t remember anything but I have always wanted to go back to visit. My dad promised me a trip back when I graduated high school if I had a 4.0. That didn’t happen so he promised me a trip back when …

Guam Trip, Off-topic, travel

Travel Blog #1

January 12, 2008

We are gearing up for our big trip. Part of me thinks it is silly to leave so soon after the bowl game but I guess there really isn’t any other good time to travel. July is the only other month that Rick has down time at work and we want to be on the lake as much as possible in the summer. Two years ago we were getting ready for our belated honeymoon to Aruba…hard to believe that was only two years ago!

Somewhat Off-Topic: Go Blue!

January 2, 2008

Oh. My. Gosh. What an unbelievable football game yesterday. It was beyond fabulous and I was beyond emotional.
I was reminded this football season that I am “part of the program” so I have to behave myself while at games, etc. It also means that I am more than just a fan of the football team – and I felt it big time yesterday. I was in tears as the game clock ticked down to 00:00 – happy for the team, happy for Coach Carr, and happy to break my 0-fer streak at bowl games.
I’ll save the game recap and analysis …

Michigan at Michigan State. Beautiful November afternoon. My dear Hen friends. Jello Shots. Michigan Victory. Can I ask for anything more?

Off-Topic: The Curse is Over!!

October 14, 2007

Mallory isn’t a bad-luck charm for Michigan Football Team!! They finally won a game that she went to. YEAH!!! This narrows the superstition down to my lack of mid-game pizza procurement at the first two games of the season this year.
Mals lasted into the fourth quarter of the Purdue game yesterday and after we left, Purdue scored two-thirds of their points, so maybe Mallory is now good luck for UM’s defense and we shouldn’t have left early? She LOVED watching the band at halftime and was actually doing a little clapping. But with her jersey and blue sweatpants on, everyone …

is there anybody out there?

February 3, 2007

just wondering if anyone actually reads this blog. it’s OK if i don’t have an audience because i am mostly journaling here so that i have material for mallory’s scrapbooks when i get around to doing them.
but if you are reading, can you post a comment or shoot me an email? it will help me decide if i need to be clever and witty or just journalistic.
