Football in Houston

Ken and I planned a trip to Houston to see our friends Amanda & Jon.  We were lucky enough to be able to stay with them and catch a game to see Jon play!  They played the Buffalo Bills. The good news was they won and we are invited back.

Ken and I grabbed some new Texans gear to wear to the game. Ken has been wearing his hat ever since our trip...safe to say we are huge Texans fans now!

 

Amanda took us to some great restaurants while we were there and we went to the mall (it was huge and packed).  After the game we went back to their house and ordered pizza.  A few of the other players live in the same neighborhood so they came over and we had a fun night of tequila shots and singing along to old school country music.  We had so much fun and can't wait until we can catch another game!  Thanks Amanda & Jon!

It's begun...Football Season

It's that time of the year and I hate to admit it....but I'm not excited.  The hubby looks forward to football season all year, and me, well not so much. 

Growing up, my family didn't worship football like most American families. I never had a team to root for or a favorite player to wear their jersey.  That all changed once Ken came into my life.  Football season to him is the best time of the year.  Shortly after we were married, he woke me up in the middle of the night to let me know I needed to pick a team for the upcoming season and that we were going to buy jerseys.  Imagine my joy when that happened!

This year, I am a little more excited about football season for 3 reasons:

1.) We now have a new team and player to root for....Jon Weeks from the Houston Texans!  A dear friend of mine is engaged to him (I even get to be a bridesmaid at their wedding in February) and Ken and I have really enjoyed getting to know him.  When you know someone playing it becomes so much more fun watch! Plus, Ken and I will be going to Houston this season to see him play and catch up with Amanda & Jon!

2.)  We just bought a new couch and I can't wait to lay on it all day long - even if I am forced to watch football more than 2 days a week!

3.) I love any excuse to have people over and make some good food...including these treats below! 

Football Truffles - recipe found on Pretty Providence. I will definitely be making these this season!

Found this one on pinterest from Plain Chicken and I can't wait to try it out! It's called Mississippi Sin...mmm!

Buffalo Chicken Dip - I've made this so many times and it is amazing. I've changed up the recipe and don't use the blue cheese/ranch dressing. Plus I make it in the crock pot which makes this so easy!
 

I hope you enjoy these game time treats and come over any time to catch a game on our new couch!Go Texans!
