Bear Down, Chicago Bears!

Dean surprised me today by calling and offering me a free ticket to the Bears game! I have never been to a professional football game before and it was so much fun! We tailgated in the cold and rain for a couple of hours, taking shelter under the trunk door of Dean's Ford Explorer, but once we started walking towards the stadium the rain stopped and it stayed dry for the entire game!
The Bears lost but I still had such a good time!! I met Dean's friend, Brandon, and that guy is flippin' hilarious! He had me laughing so hard my face hurt! And Lisa was there too. It was her first Bears game as well, and she and I sipped hot cocoa together for most of the game.
I must say, even though I loved the game, I have never felt less feminine in my life. I had about 5 layers of pants on, 3 pairs of socks, 4 t-shirts, 2 sweatshirts, 1 stocking hat, 1 winter coat and 1 plastic poncho. I felt like the stay puff marshmallow man. But I stayed warm the entire time, which anyone who knows me knows that I am always cold. So all I cared about was keeping warm. And it worked!

Thanks Sean for forcing me to accept the tickets. You're my new good luck charm! :)
