good company, good times...

Andy and I definitely have an affinity to Minnesota sports teams.  We are fanatic about the Gophers, Andy is a die hard Twins fan, and we always cheer for the Vikings.  Since we have lived in Colorado, we are finding that we love some of the Colorado sports teams as well.  One of those teams being the Denver Broncos.

The team was actually pretty good this year!  Andy went to a couple of amazing games and we are even on the list to get season tickets.  After watching an extremely exciting first playoff game that went into overtime, we decided we needed to go all out for the second playoff game.  

We made perfect plans to join the lovely Laniels, who are avid Broncos fans and were so gracious to host a party inviting us and some other close friends.  

There was definite excitement right from the beginning with yummy appetizers, T-bone steaks, delicious ribs, scrumptious potatoes, and a creative dessert.  We showed up in our finest Broncos gear and even added a few elements to our outfits upon arrival.  

Unfortunately, no matter how perfect the evening was planned out, none of us could change the direction of the actual game.  It was clear from the first few plays that it was going to be a tough game and by half time, it wasn't even entertaining any more.  

Luckily, we were surrounded by fabulous company and still managed to salvage the evening and played with silly hats and rocked out to jamming tunes.  

The little thing from this experience is that as long as you always surround yourself with great company, the blow of your team losing or another sad event happening is so much easier to handle with good friends by your side.
