We had a great Thanksgiving visiting family and friends in Minnesota but after a week hiatus from Zistle, we are glad to be back to work. While it is always great to spend time with family, the highlight of the trip was watching the Minnesota Vikings beat the Chicago Bears at home to take first in the division. It was my first NFL game ever and what a perfect game. We scored great seats in the end zone and got to see the players up close and personal. I realized that I am a true football fan because this is the first time in my life I have been star-struck. Watching Adrian Peterson warming up right in front of me was plain awesome and we took a lot of pictures.

Oh, and did I mention we beat the Bears 34-14. Do you know how many sports analysts predicted that? Not many. The defense shut the bears’ offense down and our offense stepped up to the plate and made some huge plays. Jared Allen had 3 sacks and 7 tackles and it was awesome to actually see the madman in action. The night was also special since John Randle was inducted into the Vikings Ring of Honor. Next to my wedding day, has to be one of the greatest moments of my adult life.
