I don’t normally talk sports on this blog, but it will be WICKED AWESOME if the Patriots win tomorrow…first team ever to go 19-0!?!?!?! You betcha!

To all of you tri-state area readers who think that I’m a traitor for becoming a New England sports fan…I have 2 reasons why my New England loyalties are well-founded.

Reason #1: I didn’t care about sports AT ALL when I lived in New Jersey. You can’t be a traitor if you were never loyal in the first place.

Reason #2: My in-laws. They are New Englanders to the CORE. If I didn’t support their teams, holidays would be very uncomfortable. Actually, they may not have let me marry Nate in the first place. 🙂 Okay, so that’s an exaggeration, but I do have evidence of their unwavering loyalty.

Exhibit A: They purchase giant cookies on game day to support the team. Oh, and football tablecloths too. (Photo courtesy of Aunt Linda)

Exhibit B: They actually get onto the Boston Globe website because they are such hard core fans. Yes, the woman pictured here is family. Izzie wore this to the game at Foxboro 2 weeks ago and caught the reporter’s eye. That’s serious devotion if you actually stand out at a home game. (Photo courtesy of the Boston Globe, via Aunt Kim)

I’m already nervous for tomorrow. I mean, I KNOW they’re gonna win, but nervous just the same. 🙂 GO PATS! GO PATS! GO PATS!
