Football

Football plays a big role in my relationship with Josh. He is a hardcore Packer fan and I love my Steelers.

In our 6 years of being together, our teams have played each other twice. The first time was a regular season game in which the Steelers came out on top. Unfortunately, the second time our teams met was in the Super Bowl, and the Packers took that game.

Our love for football has expanded over time from our individual support of our teams to actively participating in fantasy football together. We have had a league for about 3 or 4 seasons now, and until this year my skill level has been nothing to speak of. Luckily, that has changed!

Right now I am in the Semi-finals! Woo hoo!

I am the only girl to make it to this stage this season, and I am so excited. My goal is to meet Josh in the Championship game and kick his butt! Haha.

When Josh and I first began playing fantasy football together, he would help me draft my team and set my line-up. Now, I am able to do it all on my own. I have figured out how to research draft strategies and the players. It’s so much fun having some level of vested interest in the other games, and it gives Josh and I a fun level of competition.

I love our football Sundays and the “scheduled” time I get to spend with my hubby and bond with him. I think having something you can enjoy with your spouse is so special.
