Fight it out.

A few years ago my great-uncle Jack and great-aunt Carla celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  At the time, someone asked them if it was 50 years of bliss...to which my aunt Carla remarked..."It has been 50 years of fighting it out!"  I love that response; it brings true perspective to a marriage that can last 50+ years!

I've been married a 'measly' 5 years - in comparison to the older generation of relatives in my family..but this post isn't really going to be about my marriage...it's supposed to be about my hubby, Matt.  Matt, among other things, is a fanatic about sports...he can eat, breath, and sleep sports.  When I first met him, it seemed like ESPN  was on his TV 24-7...and if you haven't ever seen ESPN, it's just re-caps (or as Matt says 'highlights'), all day...all the time (ok maybe not all the time but A LOT).  Ugh...I've gotten to where I HATE ESPN...it disgusts me if I walk in the room and see it on.  Anyhoo...my fanatic of a husband loves all sports - minus car-racing - which surprisingly enough is the one sport that my family did watch when we were younger.  I tease him that after a Broncos game it's going to be 'a sports talk radio day'...and he says "yep!".  When Matt moved into a new office last year, his office-mate only listened to country music on the radio...so I asked him how he was getting his sports talk radio fix in...and said he was just having to go without!  Gasp! It didn't last long and now he turns it on really low so he can hear it...I can imagine him leaning really close to his clock radio during the day to hear some sports talk.

All teasing and kidding aside, Matt really does have a passion for his Colorado sports teams - Broncos, Rockies, Avalanche, and CSU Rams...and 5 years of venting to a blank clueless face (me), has forced him to take his sports talk to a new medium.  So, check him out everyone:  http://firstand20.blogspot.com, and enjoy!
