For The Love Of Football

As you all know, football is huge in the Olafsson household and the Super Bowl is a bittersweet day for us. For most people, it's a day to make nachos and have a few friends over, however most of the time no one even pays attention to the game, they are just there to enjoy the company, good food and commercials. For Erik, it doesn't matter what food is there or how many people are around him and when a commercial comes on you leave to go to the bathroom. I'm here to warn you, whatever you do....DO NOT walk in front of the TV during a play.
Every year, I grow to enjoy the sport more and more, which makes Erik very happy. Words cannot explain how much Erik loves to watch football and when the Super Bowl comes to an end, it's a very depressing night in our house. Thankfully, it won't be too long until Erik can get out on the golf course, although this is just a Band-Aid to cover the hole in his heart until football begins again in the fall.

Last year, I posted my Super Bowl prediction the Friday before the big game. After many comments by Erik's friends, they convinced me to change my prediction. Well, my first prediction ended up being the EXACT score. So, to all of Erik's friends out there...here is my prediction for Sunday's game and don't even try to persuade me to change it.

Cardinals - 21 Steelers - 17


I'm sure my prediction will be wrong, but it's worth a try. What's the Super Bowl like in your house?

I wish I could say it's a fun party, but it never is. It's just us, watching another game on TV and no one really paying attention. We used to get together with friends and party, but we haven't for a while now. I know, So boring!

Our husbands are the SAME when it comes to sports, football, and the super bowl. You're a good woman for liking it more every year.

You were pretty close predicting the super bowl! Our house super bowl, Nathan is glued to the tv. And I just kind of hang out and watch the girls. It was fun this year b/c we new a guy from USC who was starting for AZ. Anyways, I LOVE your photography website. You are amazing! So professional. That is so neat. Nathan loves to take pictures too. But you are seriously so talented.
