I love the fall and everything about it. I just get absolutely giddy with the sunny and crisp weather. No humidity. Beautiful leaf colors. The State Fair - and fair foods! Fat pumpkins. Hiking and camping. And, of course the football games...
Mike has been talking about it for over a month... reading football pre-season magazines and watching ESPN specials. He's quite obsessed. And, fortunately for him, he married a wife that fully appreciates the sport and will enthusiastically sit with him to cheer on our teams! I come from a long line of college football fanatics. Yes, even the women. My grandmothers wore their Tennessee orange every game day. Life stops briefly when the games on. I know tons of great tailgating recipes. I get it.
My family made sure that Mike got fully outfitted with Tennessee paraphernalia (mugs, shirts, pajamas, golf balls, golf shirts, flags, jackets, etc) as soon as we started dating... which seems to have the effect that they desired...he's now a fulfledged Vols fan, in addition to our beloved 'Heels. (Which is completely possible - they are in different conferences and VERY RARELY play each other).
So, while I still have to wait a bit for the rest of the signs of fall , football season starts this weekend. "IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN....." the windley house!
