Sports are very important to me. I love to be active and watch others being active. It was practically pumping through my veins as a child. My family is a huge football family. I have very fond memories of huge (and I mean HUGE) Nebraska Huskers parties. I always thought my Dad kind of resembled Herby the Husker. :)
I grew up playing soccer. In Junior High, I added in basketball and volleyball. In high school, I started diving. My boys play sports -- and I love that in addition to being so good at them, they really enjoy them. Soccer, football and now wrestling takes up a lot of our free time. I wouldn't want it any other way - it's a great way to grow up and have things in common with your parents/your child.
I have vivid memories around the football fields watching my brothers too. In fact, that is when I became a Packer fan. My brothers played Pop Warner for "The Packers" -- I was all of 4 or 5 and started my love and loyalty for the green and gold back then. And, today, my favorite Packer announced he is retiring. Although that makes me sad, Donald Driver is such a class act. I couldn't be happier for his loyalty and dedication to the Green Bay Packers -- and for keeping it classy. (Still question the "Dancing with the Stars" commitment, but hey, he won! LOL) Anyway....thanks #80 -- and I, personally, will miss you!
