Reason # 1,234,567 I love my husband- January 10, 2011
In case you aren’t a college football follower, I’ll just give you a little update. Tonight Auburn plays Oregon for the National Championship. To say Greyson is an Auburn fan is the world’s biggest athletic understatement. He believes Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton is an angel sent from football heaven to save us from fumbles and interceptions. Growing up in ACC country, I understand the devotion and mania of college basketball. I did not, however, understand the religion that is SEC football until I got involved with an Auburn alumnus. I had to memorize the fight song of his alma mater before we could wed. Need I say more?

Like couples in love tend to do, I’ve adopted some of his loves, and he’s embraced mine. He read the entire Harry Potter series and admits they are awesome. I have declared my football fandom.
For my Christmas present he gave me a Harry Potter wand. (“That’s what she said!” Hey, that is not a euphemism. Get your mind out of the gutter.) It was a toy wand that I waved to “open” my presents. Each was complete with a poem telling me what I had received. I got mama/baby yoga classes and a cleaning service to come and do a big spring cleaning in our house. It was awesome! What a sweet, clever man!

To save my poor bruised forearms I had been wanting a
Pad-a-Lily to help me carry the car seat around. Greyson went a step further and got me two Pad-a-Lily’s because that way, when the car seat is in the stroller it would match it. Adorably, he said, “I know how you like things to match.” This is true. I am a lover of all things matched and monogrammed.

Greyson picked the color of the stroller when we registered for the baby. Naturally he picked Auburn orange. Yesterday when we were out walking Charlotte and Ginger I noticed my husband had taken on my love of all things matching…
I think the Tigers will take it tonight Grey!
WAR EAGLE!
aww.. I am cheering for the Ducks because I have the opposite feeling on Cam Newton as your hubby. My husband and I are Big Ten Country and cheer for rival teams. Makes things interesting. 😉
