Keepin the tradition

Football season has finally come.  It is one of my favorite times of the year.  I have not always been a football fan though.  My love is the one that got me hooked, so of course I took his favorite team and made it my favorite team.  With my love being deployed and having to miss the entire football season, I MUST keep up all his silly traditons on every game day.  Starting with the FSU mug on entertainment center in front of the tv (and check out that score in the background).

There must always be the FSU blanket on the floor (sorry it is backwards).

Notice again the mug on the tv.  My love would be in heaven if that blanket really was the rug (sorry hun, never gonna happen in my living room)!

I of course could not let the koozie (sp?) go unused all season long.  I had to keep up with ALL the traditions minus the beer...how do you like that glass of ice water in my koozie?  After a while I did fill the koozie with something better!

My diet Dr. Pepper that is...I'm not a beer drinker at all so that is one tradition I will be doing without this football season.  I think I am doing a pretty good job keeping up the things my love would be doing if he were here.  I'm even sporting the FSU t-shirt. 

Even though it is not the same watching the games without him, I love that I am able to tell him details about the game if he calls and ask.  I am recording all the games on my DVR as a back up, but my mom is recording them on her computer to put onto a disc to be able to send over there to him.  I really hopes he likes his suprise!  I love you papa bear!!
