for months now Jarred has been talking about the Turkey Bowl. every year, a bunch of expat guys we know here all go to one city to play a really big football game the Saturday after Thanksgiving, aptly named the Turkey Bowl. Jarred, along with some other guys, tried really hard this year to get the game moved to the city near us. alas, it was to no avail.
so i surprised my husband with a plane ticket to the game. he heads out this afternoon for 30 hours away to get his fill of football for the year. and this is not just any pick-up football game. it's acc vs. sec, with a trophy and bragging rights for a year to the winning team. it's flag football, but full contact on the line with no pads. and thank you to harrison, our new friend and neighbor here this year who was a college football center, jarred this year has a newfound love for playing on the defensive line. i may be a little glad not to be seeing that in person. a couple weeks ago jarred went out to do wind sprints to start getting ready for the game. then all the guys in our city got together to practice and play. last week he got new cleats since his baseball ones are in the states. the countdown until Saturday morning is down to hours.... GO JARRED and GO ACC!
so what will i be doing while he's away?
well getting out our Christmas decorations so we can put up our tree on Sunday!
