Hockey

So many of you may not know this about me but I don't understand the point of Sports.

I mean don't get me wrong, I know that learning games as a child teaches you all sorts of valuable life lessons. But I think a lot of people make too big of a deal about sports.

That being said I have many loved ones who feel like if they had no sports to watch or team to root for life as we know it, would cease to exist. So if you like sports I still love ya. ;)

When Christopher and I started dating (and to this day) he could not wrap his head around the fact that I just don't care about sports. He thought that maybe I didn't like them because I didn't understand them. We would spend countless afternoons watching baseball while he explained all of the rules. We would watch football and he would tell me about different plays. I didn't even give him a chance when it came time for the world cup (that's soccer for my un-sporty friends) because I had sat though hundreds of games when my brother was younger (snooze fest!). And then there was hockey...

I understood hockey very quickly. It was similar enough to soccer (to which I am very familiar) for me to understand. I had never seen a hockey game before dating Christopher. But after the first game I was hooked. I love how fast paced hockey is and don't even get me started on how much I love the fights. The first time I saw a fight break out I remember saying "Whoa, are they allowed to do that?" To which Christopher replied "Yeah, that's just hockey."

Christopher is from St. Louis. He is very loyal to his home teams the Cardinals, the Rams, and his all time favorite team - the Blues.

On our way to my first Hockey game.

Let's Go Blues!!

The first hockey Game Christopher ever took me to was so much fun! We rode the Metro in to downtown St. Louis and watched the game at the Scott Trade Center. Hockey fans are so enthusiastic! Even if we lose they seem to stay positive (just like my wonderful husband). 

This past Friday Christopher went with our good friends to a Tulsa Oiler's game. We have defiantly seen better games but we had a really great time. Hockey games are a blast!

Such a fun night!

Christopher misses his blues.

I know that sometimes it it hard to be interested in the same things as your spouse but if you just try you might end up finding something that you both enjoy.  I hope that I always love and respect Christopher no matter what differences we have. I want to be an excellent wife.

Proverbs 12:4
An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
    but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.
