The big game.

I've been waiting for M. to do this but since we have all been sick (you know, just a little pneumonia, asthma, sinus infections etc etc, nothing much) he hasn't really had the chance. So I'm doing it for him and if he would like to add a little commentary (hint hint, M.) I would be happy to make a little room for him (hint taken--M.)

We had the lovely opportunity to go to our first, and so far only (and probably only) Purdue basketball game. If you know M. very well then you will know that he is a ridiculously hard core basketball fan (since I was born). There was a time in our marriage when we had rules banning basketball because it was taking over our marriage (rules in your mind!). Anyway, so I have my suspicions that we really only came to Purdue because they have a great basketball team but M. keeps telling me that it's not true - nonetheless, they've been fun to watch. (I bet you're wishing you did this post yourself now, right M.?) (--you're doing just fine.)

Anyway, back to the game. Our dear family - thanks guys - gave us tickets to go to the Purdue vs. Wisconsin game and it was so fabulous! We had such a blast. The game was great and super intense. At one point M. had his head in his hands and couldn't watch (I think he almost threw up, but that might have been because of the man in front of us having some terrible gas as well--he was having a blast too!-- we were really packed in tight, unfortunately). We won in the end and it was a fabulous victory. We really had a great time and are already saving up to go see another game next year (sorry Ethan: no new clothes).

BTW...we kicked Michigan State's butts the other night! Go Purdue!!!!
