Since attending the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, we and the Chapmans have become pretty crazed Boise State fans. Alright, the Chapmans and I were hooked before. You can't watch the Broncos and not get excited, from the coaching staff to the players....they're AWESOME! However, it was harder for Bob to jump on the "fan wagon." You see, he played football for ISU, bleeds orange and black, and had a hard time succumbing to liking his rivals, the Broncos. But, it didn't take long, and since then, being part of Bronco Nation and following the Broncos has been a pretty fun ride, to say the least! 
So, for Christmas this year, instead of buying presents for each other, Bob and I decided we'd go to the big game again!
We enjoyed the trip with a group of our fun friends ...Chapmans, Davis' and Taylors'.
Thanks guys!
Brandon's good friend was Bronco Libre. Apparently this guy will barely wear BSU colors to the games, however it was his son's dream to be on ESPN, so he had the costumes made and did this for him. They were the hit of the crowd, I tell ya. They were awesome and ended up making the cameras, newspapers, etc.! Pretty cool!
Kim's good friend, Devrea hooked us up with tickets. We purchased them through her but had no idea where they were. Last time we sat up as far as you could possibly sit. This year, 40 yard line, 25 rows up. We were stoked!
Kim was our official "party planner" and organized a tailgate party. It was so fun to see all our friends from Boise, eat, hang out, and get pumped for the big game together.
This is Bob and me seconds after the big win. I can't tell ya how fun and exciting the game was. We, and the entire Bronco Nation, literally jumped up and down and screamed for three straight hours. Robert and I sat between and in front of some older ladies and gents. When we first took our seats, I felt bad and thought they were going to be pretty annoyed by our craziness. I am not exagerating when I say, every single game, Bob gets asked to sit down. It has started to really make me MAD! I thought it was going to happen again for sure. However, those sitting around us stood the whole time too and were just as intense as we were! Oh, boy was I was exhausted afterwards. No kidding, just being a fan is exhausting. Can you imagine being a player?! Ha, Ha!Oh, it was definitely worth every, hoot-hollerin' second!
Our weekend in AZ didn't disappoint.
It will go down in my memory book as one of my faves.
The weather was a perfect 70, no wind, not a cloud in the sunny sky.
Bob and I slept in every day, relaxed by the pool, and enjoyed every second of our little escape from REALITY!
We ate so much delicious food. The midnight sushi and chocolate sundaes at Houston's were my favorite for sure.
I stole oranges off of trees and tasted the most sour tasting fruit I've ever had!
I was introduced to Paradise Bakery and Trader Joes. Thumbs way up on both of them!
We laughed and had so much fun with our friends.
I met my blogging inspiration, Kara Jayne.
(I met her through blogging, just happened across her blog and fell in love...later found out she knew the Taylors....crazy small world it is! She lives in AZ so they met up at the game and I was able to meet her. She is even more adorable in person! I have learned so much, and adopted so many ideas about life, being a friend, mom, wife, etc. from her.)
The game was an exciting, nail-biter.....
and WE CAME OUT VICTORIOUSLY!!
I must say...
IT WAS A PERFECT START TO 2010!
