Super Bowl Monday?




Yep. Monday. We celebrated the annual Super Bowl a little differently this year. The kick off was set for 12:17 am our time. Matt and I just didn't think we could manage to stay up until 4:00 am watching a football game, so we had to change our usual celebration up a little this year. Fortunately, the military in Europe got a "report late to work" day this morning. Yes, simply because of the Super Bowl. They broadcast it live on the base on big screens and through the AFN (which is our cable of about 12 whole channels over here) and then everyone got to go home and sleep in before they went to work. The schools were also closed for "conference day." Instead of staying up all night, we chose to record the game on our DVR through our Sky TV, which is basically British Cable that we get on one TV in the house. Yes, one tv. Before we went to bed last night, we turned off the computer and made sure not to answer any phone calls so we wouldn't know the outcome of the game. We then got up this morning and had a Super Bowl Breakfast!!!! It consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage, french bread pudding casserole, fruit, bagels, blueberry muffins, and of course - m&m's AND gummy bears! After the game was over, Matt was off to work. It was definitely a different experience for us and one we will be practicing the next couple of years. Hope you had fun at your Super Bowl. Go Giants!
