Packer games

Almost everybody knows that I love the Green Bay Packers. My whole basement is decorated in all packer stuff. It’s the coolest thing ever! I have a packers lanyard and everybody yells at me when they see it. I’m from Wisconsin originally though, so it totally makes sense. Ever since I was a little girl, my parents have dressed me in packer clothes. I’ve been to 3 games in my lifetime, and it was the best experience of my life. Seeing the team that I grew up loving and grew up knowing all the players was really cool. I moved to Minnesota seven years ago, and one of the main reasons why our family didn’t want to move was because it was “Viking country”. The good old Packer-Viking rivalry just shivered down our bodies. This past Monday when they beat the Vikings 45 to 7 was awesome! I had to work, so I couldn’t watch the game. My dad kept me updated though. Not only am I a die hard packer fan, but what am I really getting at? Watching the Packers play every weekend was a time for me to bond with my dad and brother. We watched the game every weekend, and it was just weird last year when my brother left for college and wasn’t there. I still watched the games with my dad, and it was a good time. We talked about the game and just life in general. It game me that father-daughter time that every daughter needs. My dad and I have always been really close, so having this time together was really meaningful. We had moments where we’d be screaming at the TV, but it was okay! Last year, I went all out for Christmas, and I bought my dad and brother tickets to go to a game. It was the game against the Giants that they HAD to win in order to move on to the playoffs. The packers ended up winning in a good game, so since the Packers won the super bowl, I told my dad and brother that it was all because I paid for their tickets to go to that special game. It may seem like something that means nothing as I watch the games with my dad and brother, but it meant a lot to me. Now that I’m at college and don’t have that luxury, I miss them a lot. I still watch the games, but it just makes me realize how I loved having that bonding time with my dad.
