Well, Fall is finally here and we all know what that means....no, not cooler weather...but yes, football! I do love the fall season as everyone is back to school, the nice smells of fall goodies baking, the pumpkin spice latte back at Starbucks, and watching some football on TV. Maybe cooler weather will come at some point, but it's not looking too good so far. Though I wouldn't call myself a crazy football fan, I do love watching football, especially for being a girl. Justin says all the time how lucky he is to have a wife who enjoys watching sports, but I just tell him to thank my dad for that one! We kicked off the football season by joining our very first fantasy football team together. My brother and dad have played fantasy football for many years now so I have heard all about it, but have never played myself. Now that I'm married, I guess they finally trust me to join a league :) My brother started a new league with some family and friends to join so Justin and I have our first team together. Or should I say Justin's team, since he really didn't listen to anything I said when we were drafting. I had all the papers ready and all the stats of who the best players were to draft and I would tell him who to pick based by the rankings..seems pretty logical right? But every player I would "advise" him to pick he would tell me about his "hunch" to pick someone else and then list a 100 different reasons and stats as to why to pick this different player. I knew my hubby knows sports, but I was pretty blown away by his sports knowledge during the draft. How in the world does he remember every detail of a random player on a team no one cares about to persuade him to pick him? Anyway, we got through the draft based on many "hunches" and I realized I definitely don't know football near as much as I thought I did. I guess I can tell you at the end of the season how much his "hunch" paid off for us. So far we are 1-2 so it's not looking too hot....
The start of the football season also means watching our dear Aggies play! Oh how I love watching Aggie football. Justin was able to go to the first game of the season and he was pumped about it. I love that I married a die hard Aggie....even if that means that all we have talked about over the past 2 months was the SEC. Not sure if I even knew what exactly the SEC was until 2 months ago....but I sure know all about it now! And as of yesterday, it actually became official that the Aggies are in fact joining the SEC and I am just so thankful my hubby can now in fact sleep well at night again!
Justin and I also went to our very first Texans game together a few weeks ago. I bought him Texans tickets for his birthday since he has never been to a game before. I loved the look on his face when he opened his gift and saw 2 Texans tickets...he was very surprised and so excited! We went to the first game of the season and they creamed the Colts. We had a blast!
And to top it all off, the Fighin' Texas Aggie band played during halftime! It was awesome singing the Aggie War Hymn in the Texas stadium. Too bad I was sitting next to a tacky Longhorn fan that cussed and yelled every 5 seconds...but it just made me whoop every louder.
And that was just September! I'm looking forward to more fun months ahead during the rest of this football season.
