It's that time again...

The Winter Olympics have arrived-it carries the excitement and hope that our country to bring home the gold.

With the Winter Olympics making it's debut I can't help but be in another frame of mind. Sadness. It was eighteen years ago when my family and I watched opening day of the Winter Olympics in 1992. Both my grandma and grandpa lived with my family at this time. My sister and I were still quite young and they were there for us so our parents could work and not have to worry about us.

This cold February day in 1992 was also one of those pivotal moments in my life. My grandpa had been sick for a while and died in the shower that afternoon. As a five year old, I didn't truly understand what had happened- but I knew that I would not be seeing him anymore. I still wonder how I can miss him as much as I do considering I only had five years with him and eighteen without him.

Eighteen years later...I visited my mom's house this Friday also on a cold February day and was greeted by her and my stepfather watching the opening program of the Winter Olympics. I knew the connection between these games and my mothers emotions. It's funny how those little moments or memories make their way into your life a time when you need it. My birthday was this Saturday and it was almost like a little reminder that he was still here. We should all remember those little moments in time when you can just sit back and feel a much needed connection.

I just commeted on Angie's Blog, "Wake up and Smell the Roses" about her sister's pregnancy and family dynamics.

Are you ready to rumble?

This Super Bowl Sunday we will sit in anticipation as the Indianapolis Colts play the New Orleans Saints. Payton Manning will lead the Colts in the same arena in Miami where they defeated the Chicago Bears in 2006. The New Orleans Saints will be lead by their quarterback, Drew Brees, who probably has the coolest name ever! However there is one large distinction, the Saints have never been to the Super Bowl. So, are you going to root for the underdog or the top dog?

Personally, I am hoping the New Orleans Saints will defeat the Colts this Sunday. There are a handful of reasons why I feel this way. Firstly, I think that taking the Super Bowl title back to New Orleans will be uplifting to many of the people of Louisiana. Secondly, Drew Brees is not only a strong quarterback but has donated much of his free time to charities such as Habitat for Humanity while encouraging other football players to join him. Brees is a leader and I believe he will lead his team to a much needed victory. Thirdly, I heard through the grapevine of media that Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints will propose to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian if he brings home the win. Finally, I will be sporting the Saints this Sunday because I am all for the underdog! The Colts won a few years ago, I say let the Saints have it.

Archie Manning, the father of both quarterback sons, Payton and Eli was a past quarterback of the New Orleans Saints....I wonder who he will be cheering for on game day?

To everybody out there who eats, sleeps and drinks football....enjoy your Super Bowl Sunday. Have fun with friends and family and remember to be safe. We need all the fans ready for next year when it’s the Chicago Bears turn to take home to title.
