top three thursday: sports events

we all know i'm one of the most die-hard sports fan of all time. seeing as though football season is coming to a close (*tears*), i thought i would highlight my favorite three sports days of the year. well, maybe more than just a day.

1. the superbowl: seriously, this is an epic day in the lives of me and my friends. huge parties, massive amounts of food and beer, good company, there's really nothing that brings us together more than a good game of football. i can't wait to see how the playoffs play out this season and to see what two teams will battle it out on february 6th for the rings and the trophy. it's too exciting!

2. opening day for husky season: come september, this girl is bursting with anticipation of opening day for the husky football season. there are very few things that get me as excited as putting on my purple jersey, tailgating with friends and family, and entering that stadium. every year without fail produces goosebumps all over when the huskies enter the stadium out of the tunnel and through the fog. ooo, i'm getting all tingly just thinking about it.

3. march madness: i hate the nba, but college basketball is clutch. there are a million games over the regular season, so many that i can't possibly keep track of everyone. but when the tournament begins, it's so much fun to fill out a bracket and pretend you're the know-all of college basketball. in the past i've chosen a couple winners and, even though i may not have won overall, it's fun to know that you've picked some games correctly! not to mention, it's ballin' (no pun intended) when your team is in it. here's hoping the huskies can make it again this year!

fun:day - my birthday celebration

this year marked a big milestone in my life...i turned 25!!!! holy crap, i'm not sure why that seems like such a big age, but it is. instead of being completely overwhelmed and worried about the age, i was more filled with excitement. this chapter definitely started off on the right foot. i had a new job, i was starting school and (quite possibly the best thing ever) the huskies beat usc for a second year in a row!!!!!! it was the best early birthday present i could have asked for. well, that and the fact that a bunch of my wonderful friends came out to celebrate the victory with me. here are some photos of debauchery:

fun:day - fantasy football

i now understand the obsession.

fun:day - fall preview

it's not often that i want to fast forward through summer, but this fall is about to be so epic that i wouldn't mind skipping ahead a little.

1. husky football: starting september 4th, all my saturdays will be spent in my purple and gold cheering on my dawgs. this year is going to be a big one for them with jake locker as a senior and possible heisman candidate, some awesome new recruits...i feel a bowl game coming folks. not to mention the tailgating menus and games have been upped and those will be legen...wait for it...dary as well. man! i can't wait.

2. washington d.c. round 2: officially purchased some tickets for me and a friend to go visit ms ramey over in washington d.c. again! i'm super excited to go back and see some of the things and taste some of the foods i missed last time. and we'll be attending an awesome event that is highlighted below in excitement point #3.

3. colts game: us ladies are going to trek to fedex field in landover, maryland to go to a redskins game. although, me and my friend are more excited to root for the opposition. they're going to be playing one of our most favoritest teams, the indianapolis colts!! so beware washington fans, we're not rocking the red, we're coming in full on blue and white. go colts!

4. seahawks game: in november i'm finally going to see another seahawks game!! i haven't been to a seahawks game since they played in the kingdome, so it's been awhile and i am so excited! it'll be a tough game because we're playing the new york giants, but i bet with the 12th man on our side, we'll be able to take them. go hawks!!

5. las vegas: probably my most anticipated happening of the fall is for the girls trip to vegas!!!!! i can't believe i'm almost 25 and have never been, so i'm going to make this one count. and i'm real happy that most of my girls are headed down there with me, so it'll be quite the riot. get ready for the invasion...
