Going to the Chapel

I know...I promised to write more frequently.

So sue me.

Its summer, we've been running around a lot and I haven't felt like writing much.

But today I wanted to wish my parents a happy 41st anniversary!

Here is the original write up from the paper when they got married in 1968:

I have no idea why it came out that small!

Here are some more pictures from their wedding day:

I know my sister and I could not have asked for better parents over the years!

Even if they did dress us like that!

I can only hope to have as good and as long a relationship as they have had!

Love you guys!

Birthday

Another one! LOL!

Today my one and only Godchild turns seven years old!

Alex is the first born of my only sister.

Really, when you think about it being a Godparent is quite the accomplishment.

It means that someone ELSE thinks you are going to be good enough to raise THEIR kid if anything ever happens to them! LOL!

When my grandmother passed away a few years ago I met my mother's Godfather at the funeral home. I told him that my mother (then in her 50's) was now his responsibility. I mean does your responsibility ever end? Am I going to be responsible for Alex when he's older?

That's a lot of pressure!

Still all of my nieces and nephews are a treasure to me. Each has their own unique personality and bring something different into my life as I am sure they do for their own parents.

Does Anybody Really Know What time It Is?

So my homepage has one of those convenient reminders on the left side where you can put doctor appointments and the like.

It even reminds me of my favorite sport team schedules and holidays.

Sometimes though I wonder if I should trust it:

If can't see that double click and it will open up for you, but since when is Ash Wednesday on a Friday?

Super Bowl Shuffle

Six-burgh!

The six-pack!

One for the other thumb!

Call it what you want it was a finish for the ages and a game that no Steeler fan will forget!

First things first...the Cardinals played one heck of a game and if they had won it would have been fair and square. Their history may not be much (no championships since 1947) but they have some classy players and a good coaching staff.

Now on to celebrating!

First (again) the records:

Mike Tomiln becomes the youngest coach in a Super Bowl and the youngest coach to WIN a Super Bowl!

The Steelers (who were the first team to win four super bowls) become the only team to win SIX Super Bowls. For perspective here: The Steelers have one 6 of the 43 games played...13%. Fifteen teams in the league have NEVER won a Super Bowl.

James Harrison set a record with the longest play in the history of the Super Bowl. A rumbling 100 YARD INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Now the fun stuff:

What a game! For the last Super Bowl the Steelers were in I was so nervous I couldn't even drink!

This time I was more relaxed and with a 17-7 half time lead and the Cardinals looks unworthy it was a fun time!

Then things got out of hand...quickly.

My main thought as the Cardinals scored the go ahead touchdown? Man the Larry Fitzerald is fast!!!

So with just over two minutes left I was hanging head and ready to give up. Something I have never done during the playoffs.

I went to the bathroom and as I was looking the mirror I could not process the thought that the Steelers might lose! It couldn't happen!

I started asking for some sort of miracle.

I started talking to people I knew were on the other side to pull some strings!

Anything!

And they did it! The Steelers drove down the field and won the game!

Of course I though it might have cost me my soul...until I realized that there were probably a lot of other people doing the same thing!

I just hope there was someone else they wanted more than me!

So the celebration went long in to the night and we Steeler fans will bask in it for quite some time!

How long, you ask?

As a Steeler fan I can say that we will believe in our team until they eliminated next season...when and IF that happens!

Congratulations Steelers and thank you for ANOTHER great season!

Oh...and one more thing:

Superstition

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday season so far!

In order to continue that I present a list of superstitions associated with the first day of the new year!

One that I keep is being the first dark haired man to enter people's home. Its supposed to bring good luck to the homeowner and I will continue to do for as long as I have any dark hair left on my head! LOL!

Whatever your beliefs lets hope for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009 for each and every one of us!

Oh, and click on the title of the post for a great little surprise!
