When we lived in Milwaukee we lived in the GREATEST neighborhood. Everyone was so friendly and outgoing. Every Greenbay Packer game was a neighboorhood event- tv's outside with a fresh keg of homemade beer for whoever wanted to partake, bbqing brats and chicken wings, kids playing in the huge blowup jumping cage. Seriously, it was like this all summer long and for the games. During the winter months they would all pile into the house or have a fire outside and watch the game.
In the Milwaukee spirit we got together with some friends we met in Milwaukee and watched the game in Des Moines. It was so fun to watch the game with Josh and Heather, Josh grew up in Milwaukee so he is a Packer through and through. I loved that it was totally snowing the whole time. So next week party again. If you want to come over we are going to be watching it and hopefully celebrating the fact that they are going to the super bowl (so happy Dallas lost!).
Funny story about Milwaukee- they are HUGE, CRAZY fans there for their Packers. We lived there when the sniper's were loose in the DC area. One fay my mom called and said they had just found them, so I turned on the news and the 5:00 pm news was just about to start. BREAKING NEWS: Brett Favre is going to the doctor to get his knee looked at. Here he is getting out of the car, here he is going into the clinic. 5 minutes later.... in other news... they caught the DC sniper that has killed ? many people.
Seriously it was so crazy! They are NUTS about the Packers. They have the Packer flag flying above their American flags at some homes. Anyway, Go Pack!

How fun! I do have to say though...........GO GIANTS! My hubby is from NY.
YAY Packers! Nicole I'll be there next week. Do you want me to bring my football style 7 layer dip. We can throw down some of Phil's famous orange juli and some Dr. Pepper and watch the Packers. What time?
Gretchen- Wouldn't that be AWESOME! Your hubby is a doctor why don't you just fly in for the weekend?
That made me laugh! Stacie's little boy Ethan LOVES the Packers since they moved to Wisconsin. He is mad that he wasn't born in Wisconsin so he could be a packers fan since birth. He is still trying to convince Stacie to get a huge decal for their garage.
Hey Nic,
I was amused by your New Year's Resolutions, mainly because I have almost EXACTLY the same ones. Great minds...Do we have kids the same ages or what? And Charlotte isn't crawling yet. Can you believe it? And yes, I wish you would please move to AZ so we could work out together. Sweet.
You gotta love The Pack! I had to laugh about the news story. That is SO Milwaukee! Fred emailed us all during the game with updates!
