When Josh and I found out we were moving to Saginaw, MI for his first call, one of the first things we unashamedly thought about was how many Michigan sporting events we would plan on attending.
While we may be from Wisconsin (GO Packers, Brewers, and Bucks!) Josh was born, and lived for a period of time in a small town outside of Saginaw. His brother Aaron, being 10 years older than him, spent all of his childhood in Michigan. The influence of his Michigan sports loving older brother rubbed off on Josh when it came to the Michigan Wolverines. Especially Michigan Football ( I hear they were really pretty great at one point... ;) )
One of the first Saturdays I ever spent with Josh was in his college dorm room watching a Michigan Football game. There was no talking; It was all serious intensity. Our relationship didn't necessarily grow that Saturday. Although I did learn a whooooole new side to this guy. Folks, he is a fanatic...
Not being a completely loyal or die hard "Bucky Fan." I was, over time, converted to a Michigan fan. And so began the accumulation of Michigan apparel, support of my husbands up and down emotions on a Saturday afternoon, and understanding that "mgoblueblog" HAD to be downloaded and read occasionally somewhat continually on his phone.
Two weekends ago we took a trip down to Ann Arbor for the Homecoming game against Northwestern. Even Josh's brother Aaron and his wife Jill joined us. We were pretty psyched about the amazing weather, opening kick-off drive for a touchdown, and a Michigan win!
Now about the game last weekend....let's let that one be in the past.
