Are You Ready For Some Football?!

So, I admit the last time I was really into football was probably in elementary school when the Redskins were good and the team had Joe Theisman as a quarterback and John Riggins was...something. But this year has been different.

Most of you all know that Aren got to do Make-A-Wish a few years ago after his bone marrow transplant and we were lucky enough not only to go to Disney World, but to go with Kurt Warner, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, and his wonderful family. Honestly, we had no idea who this guy was. Aren, in a conversation with Kurt, asked him, "Hey Kurt? What do you do?" Kurt said smiling, "I play football." Aren's response, "Oh. Are you any good?" Kurt just laughed and said, "Yeah, I've been told I'm alright."

So, here we are a few years later and I'm in love with the Arizona Cardinals and Kurt, along with some others, has led the team to the playoffs where they will be contending for a spot in the Superbowl. Kurt, I know you don't read this, but from my heart to yours...

I want you to know that our family has been pulling for the Cardinals too. Any time anyone asks me who I am going for, I tell them the Cardinals and then tell them your family’s story.

I truly hope they go all the way! :)
