Wow! You know, I think there is very little that I love more than football.I know that I shouldn't be as wild about the game as I am but I just can't seem to help it. I think that it is the adrenaline or something. I just love football and especially the Cowboys. I've been a fan since I was a little, little girl and we lived in Fort Worth.
This November will be the culmination of a lifelong dream for me. Last year, my husband bought me season tickets for this year for the Cowboys. I have NO idea how he got them because it has always been my understanding that it is nearly impossible to get Cowboys season tickets. And it might seem insane considering that we live about 9 states away from Texas, so we will probably never ever get to any of the games other than the Thanksgiving game. In fact, this game will probably be my only shot in my whole lifetime to see my beloved Cowboys play live in Texas Stadium. But my husband is the absolute best. He bought a whole seasons worth of tickets so that I could see one game, live and in person. He totally supports my passion and that is just priceless.
How I found out about the season tickets was pretty funny too. ( Well looking back on it now is...)
For some reason, my hubby and I were in this horrible fight ( I can't remember what started it, but it was one of the ones where you think, I should just leave, I hate this person across from me!) and then I told him he could just go get an apartment he had the money on his credit card (since we had just paid it off in trying to meet our goal of becoming debt free) and I could care less if I ever saw him again. He turned to me and said he didn't have the money on his card (I nearly went ballistic at that- horrible things were going through my mind, a hussy on the side, gambling, what the HECK did he spend that money on???) I'm so mad at this point I am ready to launch into space and he looked me straight in the eye and said in this low, calm voice..." I bought Cowboys season tickets for you so we can go to a Thanksgiving game." My mouth dropped open and all the fight went out of me. It is hard to describe that moment and how I felt. Low down as a dirty dog. Shock and surprise and love for this man who so totally gets me. I think it was the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me and I was being so mean and hateful and letting my need to be right and my emotions get control of me. It was a major big lesson for me. A real shocker. Because what do you say to the man that makes your dreams come true? Nothing but I love you, honey. And you know that I always will.
