Cardinals win NFC Championship







It is a dream come true, the Cardinals are headed to the Super Bowl. We went thru all the emotions during the game, happiness, stress, sadness, super joy. It was incredible to be there when the time on the clock expired and the Cardinals took the stage to recieve their trophy. No one in the stands wanted to leave, we hugged, cried, cheered and basically were all in shock. The media is calling this the Cinderella story of the season, we believed all along that it was possible. We have become really great friends with the people that sit next to us in the stands, we tailgate together, we talk thru out the year and we are always sad when the season ends. It is amazing how a friendship can form when you are together 10 Sundays a year and share a common love for the Cardinals. Go Cardinals, we believe.

The Playoffs

Tailgating before the game


Yesterday the Arizona Cardinals made history and we were there to see it. The Cardinals have not won a home playoff game since 1947, until yesterday, they beat the Atlanta Falcons 30-24. It was so loud in the stadium that my ears are still ringing, my feet are sore because we didn't sit down the whole game, my throat hurts from yelling, but it was a lifetime memory and so worth it. Before the game we tailgated with our friends, we bbq hamburgers and played hillbilly golf. The excitment in the tailgating area was awesome, I only saw a few Falcons fans. After the game we were celebrating in the stands and the coach ran around the stadium giving high 5's to the fans, I leaned over the rail and he game me a high 5, it was so cool. Of course I was wishing it was Larry!!! We are hoping that it all works out and we get another game to go to and who knows maybe we will be traveling to Florida for the superbowl.
