If you know anything about me, you know I’m pretty much a dude at heart. I’d choose football on my television, beer in my belly, hoodie and comfy pants on and a fire in the fireplace to pretty much any given situation in life. I’ve been a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan since my childhood. Born in Oklahoma, my mom raised me to love the Cowboys. She’d send me down the road to my uncle’s house (who was a Steelers fan at that time) to say “GO COWBOYS!”

Some girls dream of their wedding day when they’re little. I dreamt of going to the Super Bowl. I had photo books with cutouts of @emmittsmith22 newspaper articles instead of cutouts of dresses from magazines. I had posters of cowboys players not cute boys in junior high. This weekend I’m living my dream so prepare for photo overload. We are staying at the Fairmont and we are heading to the Phoenix Open tomorrow followed by the big game on Sunday. #dreambig #workhardplayhard #gohawks

Going to the Super Bowl? It’s been on my life’s to-do list for as long as I can remember. What I didn’t expect was the ability to make that dream a reality before my 35th birthday.

This year, after we paid our taxes and we paid for a vacation to Disney World for the girls, Michael and I decided to pull the trigger on this dream and just do it. If you know my husband, you know how creeky his wallet is, so it wasn’t an easy “yes” for him. We decided to head for Phoenix (where we grew up and where the Super Bowl 49 was being held) after our vacation.

IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. Here is a little photo walk through of the day!

Phoenix Open 2015 — Our view from the front of our room at the Fairmont Princess. We could see the golf course!

Fairmont Princess — The Fox Sports team was here so we saw broadcasters walking all over the place!

Date Night — We checked into the hotel and decided to head out on a little date night to our favorite restaurant in Arizona, Tutti Santi.

Tutti Santi — MMMMMMMM The Ravioli ala Nina will kill you it’s so good.

Super Bowl 49 — Our tickets arrived. I freaked out.

sb11 — Michael snuggled a little bit with Chris Pratt…NBD. He and Anna Ferris followed us in and then were whisked away in their celebrity-mobile.

Here’s a video of the Patriots heading into the stadium. This has to be a real moment for these players, you know? It was so loud.

Here come’s the Seahawks:

Here’s opening kickoff:

sb19 — On TV the stage looked like it moved around but it didn’t, it was just a tarp thing that had graphics on it that moved. CRAZY to see it afterwards.

sb24 — Tried to zoom in on the iPhone but you know how that kind of thing goes.

ROAR — Katy Perry’s all “hey, it’s me on a giant gold lion, what’s up?”

sb25 — Some dude came out of nowhere with a fireman’s pole for her to slide down off of that lion and she suddenly appeared on the other stage. I swear this chick went to Hogwarts.

sb26 — Katy’s going along. She was entertaining. The sound was terrible in the stadium, as you can imagine with 70,000 seats and an open roof.

sb27.1 — Then Missy Elliott came out and was all “hey Katy, I’ll just be taking over your performance, don’t mind me” and I turned to Michael and said “IS THAT MISSY????”

sb27 — …and it was MISSY! Everyone in the stadium freaked out at that little ding, ding ding, ding, ding, ding riff…you know the one.

Missy — Nobody even remembered Katy Perry was there at this point.

sb32 — Then Katy went flying around the stadium like My Little Pony. It was pretty cool.

Here’s a video I got of what it was like from our point of view. Sound is terrible, of course, but it was quite a show.

pm_2231947a — “The More You Know…” Anyone, anyone?

sb33 — Worst picture in the world of me and “hi, my name is David.” So sweet.

sb16 — He shared is red vines with us. See? totally cool dude. We also toasted our cotton candy because COTTON CANDY.

sb35 — This was just before the worst play call in the history of play calls. Every Pats fan was clinching their butt cheeks right here.

Here’s Belichick getting a Gatorade bath:

sb38 — There is absolutely just as much confetti in person as there is on TV. Now I know for sure.

I will never forget this. After this game, Michael and I decided that each year our business grows, we’ll go back to the Super Bowl to celebrate. San Francisco next year, who’s coming with us? Let’s go, Cowboys!

Welcome to Week 5 of Project Life. Seems crazy that we’re this far into the year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about spring and summer coming right around the corner!!

This week, I was out of town for the weekend for my grandma’s funeral. Even though it’s sad, I added it to the book. Additionally, I made Michael take the Archetype ME quiz and recorded both of our results. This is proof positive that he’s a better persona than I am and that he’s probably the better stay-at-home parent, what with his caregiving skills and my lack thereof! ha. Have you seen these results going around your social media feed? You can add it to your next page by taking the quiz HERE
