Last week, as you know, was the Superbowl. Every year we go to a Superbowl party, eat wings and nachos and other party foods, laugh at commercials. Well, the game was on at 2:30am here in KSA. Rob set his alarm but didn't get up. I caught the last 4 minutes of the game after I got up for work. I then woke Jack up and dressed him in the Packers outfit that Grandpa Dave bought him.
We got to school and I expected everyone to be buzzing about the game. But guess what - only Americans care about American football. Huh. One of the other teachers (who is British) said, "Oh Jack, you have your green track suit on today." I was like, "Hello, it's not just any green track suit...it's a Packers suit because the Packers won the Superbowl an hour ago" but no one cared. She laughed, and at least knew what I was talking about, unlike most of the students and teachers around.
It's funny how I didn't care about American traditions like the Superbowl until I left America...hmmm...

Hi Laura-we missed you this year at Superbowl! I thought we should have had a party at your house so that we could feel like we were somehow celebrating with you, but I forgot to ask Ryan. Also, your house has burned down. That was the main reason I guess that we couldn't have the Superbowl party. But dont worry, Ryan is busy at work rebuilding and the good news is the pergola survived.
