Fall is not only the season of sweaters, boots, and pumpkin lattes, but the season of SPORTS! The past few years I have grown into a bigger sports fan than ever before. Following sports, especially while recovering from many surgeries has been a fun outlet.
Over the past 3-4 years I have really gotten into pro hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks being my favorite team. I have watched the last 2 of their most recent Stanley Cup Championship wins and am routing for a back-to-back win this year! The first time I watched them win the Cup I was in the hospital for large parts of that summer. Watching them play became a great escape and cheered me up on many low days.
I am also a huge fan of football. Indianapolis Colts are my hometown football and it was the first time I got to see a pro football game live. Living in Indianapolis for over ten years now, experiencing the era of Peyton Manning and winning the Super Bowl was a huge highlight and so much fun to be fan in the city. I grew up watching and routing for the Green Bay Packers because my parents where born and raised in Wisconsin, but Indy became MY team.
I love watching college sports, especially football as well and it can be even more exciting than pro football. I was born and raised for the first part of my life in Arkansas. University of Arkansas is my dad's Alma Mater and home to the Arkansas Razorbacks. Woo Pig Sooie! Growing up with an SEC (best division) and all the excitement and enthusiasm of southern sports is on a whole other level than I have ever experienced. Everything is bigger, including the bands, elite cheerleaders, dressing up for the games to rivalries and celebrations. Although I may live in Indiana, I will always be a southern girl at hear routing for my Razorbacks! WPS!
The other college team I follow and cheer for is the United States Military Academy or better known as West Point. Being former Army and from a military family I love supporting West Point and Cadet/Athletes! I would love to be able to see a game a Michie Stadium and seeing an ArmyNavy game is on my bucket list as well. Go Army! Beat Navy!
I am also a huge fan of watching the Olympic Games, both summer and winter. I am very excited and looking forward to the Rio 2016 Games! Gymnastics is my favorite sport to follow at the Olympics and I tend to follow the major gymnastics meets throughout the years. This year's Worlds where incredible! There is so much talent. I plan on being glued to the tv for the duration of the games trying to watch as much as I can
