Go Pack Go! I was born with green and gold running through my veins. Growing up in a small town in New Mexico I was and still am surrounded by Cowboys and Broncos fans! I HATE IT! My family is mostly Cowboy fans. My dad grew up idolizing Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke so before I was born I was a Packer fan! I remember Super bowl XXXI we played against the Patriots and won! Superbowl XXXII we played against the Broncos and lost. The calls came ringing in from guess who, our Cowboy families and friends! The dreaded NFC championship against the Giants in 2008 losing in OT from Favre's interception. I scared my dog and cried. I am crazy passionate over my team! From there on it got worse with Favre retiring and I locked myself in my room and cried. To only make matters worse I married a man whose family is from Chicago and Minnesota. The rivalry is fierce! Now I have to stand up for myself and defend my colors! We live close to Denver so my husband and I flew to a Monday Night Football Game on October 29, 2008. My friend's family have season Bronco tickets and she sold them to us because she knows I love the Packers! Entering the stadium with my face painted, watching the Pack warm up was awesome! The game started we went to our seats and low and behold our seats were taken. We had to go to talk to detectives in the stadium. We had the original tickets and my friend's father-in-law had printed out the tickets. The detective asked us so who is staying. My husband said go ahead and we gave up our tickets. The detective was in shock because my friend's dad who lives in Denver didn't give up the seats to us who had traveled to the game. The detective said well I have to walk you out. I was hysterical! I was crying and we were out of the stadium. We couldn't buy tickets because it was sold out.The detective found us on the steps of the stadium and let us back in but we had to buy $100 tickets to enter. We had missed the 1st quarter but ended up watching Favre throw to Jennings in OT to win the game! Finally, I got to go to Wisconsin for the first time in my life this summer! My in-laws go there every summer. My husband, my dog and I drove 27 hours to Minoqua, Wisconsin. I told my husband since we are in Wisconsin we have to go to Green Bay no matter how far it was from where we were staying and Green Bay was only 3 hours away! We drove to Green Bay! The first time I laid my eyes on Lambeau field I teared up! It was one of the best days of my life! We took a tour of Lambeau and got to touch the grass! Words cannot describe the feeling that took over me when I got to walk onto the field! I went to the Packers Hall of Fame! This was incredible! Listening to the video, 'Rode to Glory' was tremendous. Learning all the Packers history was overwhelming! It was a breathtaking day! I didn't want to leave Lambeau! It was just awesome! My in-laws' friends from Wisconsin heard about me and they have Packer tickets. One night while sitting out by the fire they came over and asked me if I wanted to go to a game!! A PACKER GAME!! I called my dad right away and asked him if he wanted to go since he has never been either. We only had two games to choose from and we chose the Lions, a division game. We flew to Green Bay, Wisconsin on October 17, 2009 to see our beloved Packers play the Lions. We took another tour of the stadium, ate at Brett Favre's Steakhouse the night before. It was amazing to see all the people and cars parked on lawns tailgating, dancing in the streets cheering for the Packers! We sat 8 rows from the field!! I was yelling and cheering for our Packers! It was so awesome when the announcer said….'AND NOW HERE ARE YOUR GREENBAY PACKERS! GO PACK GO' we ended beating the Lions 26-0! A first game a great memory for the rest of my life! Leaving the field was sad because I don't know when I will be back, but I will be back!

This is me at my first Patriots game in September. My team played against the Falcons and won - such an awesome
experience to have seen the victory at Gillette Stadium!
