Just a Girl Named Cate

I am heading out to my first ever Super Bowl party to cheer on the New Orleans Saints to victory. It's hard to believe that I was never much of a football fan until this year. This has been an incredible year - in more ways than one - and it's been so exciting to follow the Saints ... my Saints ... all the way to the Super Bowl.

This whole Super Bowl fever has been incredible and surreal. I think it's crazy that just last Spring I was still living up in Pennsylvania and how fate brought me back home to New Orleans just in time to be a part of this magic. I never really followed and understood football when I lived here before, and I remember thinking how Super Bowl parties and tailgating and all that was so silly. Well, I guess I was wrong.

I can feel my heart rate rise as I write this. Just the thought of watching my team take the field gives me goose bumps. I can't stop smiling and I almost feel like crying because I am so happy and excited. I am so thrilled how this has all played out, and with Mardi Gras coming up, it's going to be even more amazing. I think the best way to say it is .... WHO DAT?

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!
