I love game days, but especially big game days! There happens to be one coming up and we love to get our friends together to celebrate and eat delicious food! This year, we are making our delicious Cantrell Chili recipe that everyone loves! It is always a big hit with our friends and family. The one thing I think about when serving chili is preparing the other bowl for my guests so they feel comfortable in our home. I would never want anyone to feel awkward, so I like to be prepared by stocking up on Poo-Pourri!

Super Bowl Weekend

February 6, 2017

This weekend was pretty boring to be honest. I did some laundry and we moved the rest of our stuff out of my parent’s house, so we have been unpacking again. Sigh. Sunday, we went to church and it was, of course, super bowl weekend. We do not have an NFL team in Alabama, so the closest team to us is the Atlanta Falcons. We were excited to see them in the game, but to be honest, I just watch the super bowl for the commercials and halftime show. Of course, there is always the food, too! Game day food is the best!

A Superbowl Party

February 7, 2013

Most Sundays, we host life group at our house. If you don’t know what a life group is, it’s basically small group for church. Ryan leads our life group with our good friend Jonathan. This past Sunday, instead of doing the normal lesson plan, we threw a mini Super Bowl party instead. We thought this would be a good way to socialize and get to know each other a little more. We had such a great time and I’m pretty sure I went over my diet by about 2000 calories, but it was so nice being able to fellowship with other young-married christians.

I wasn’t too impressed with the Super Bowl commercials this year. I thought the Doritos commercials were probably the best ones that I saw. Other than that, I found the majority either pointless or gross. We had a debate over the Calvin Klein commercial with the half naked guy posing for ten minutes in front of all the men watching the game. Marketing fail. All the guys thought it was awkward and gross, so they decided they would not buy Calvin’s. I thought Beyonce did an okay job. In my opinion, she should have focused more on her singing than dancing. After all, her voice is what made her famous, not her jirates. I haven’t been really impressed with the halftime shows the last few years now. Aerosmith was the last one that I actually enjoyed but the Janet thing happened and well, of course that’s all people talked about.

What did you think of the superbowl? Which commercials were your favorite?
