Apple Cup

I love my husband. Without a doubt, he is the best thing that has happened to me in my life, ever. We get along so well, and we almost always agree on major topics of discussion. There is, however, one day a year when we become bitter rivals. That day is tomorrow: Apple Cup. I think all of you know that Pete went to UW and I went to WSU. On a daily basis this does not affect our life (if this were the case with Shannon and Mike, I think it would be a daily topic of discussion) :) And, I have to say, that Pete has been much more accepting of WSU than I have ever been of UW. Pete has gone to WSU games and he even roots for the Cougs when they are playing anyone but the Huskies. I, on the other hand, am not that good of sport. I am a Coug, it's not in my blood. :) So, tomorrow, I will be thinking of you - all my wonderful friends who I would not know if it wasn't for WSU. I will be with you in spirit as you cheer on the Cougs. I hope with all my heart that we are victorious, and I wish so much that I could be there with you.

On this note, I have to tell you a short story. Soon there will be a picture to go along with the story, but I don't have it today. The other night went went out to a pub to celebrate the birthday of one of the teachers we work with. We walked into the pub and Pete immediately said, "Jinxy! Look over there!" And lo and behold, there was a BULGARIAN wearing a COUG hat! I immediately ran over to him and started rambling about how he was wearing the hat of the school I went to, excitedly gesturing, and practically hugging the guy. He looked at me like I was crazy (he probably had no idea what I was talking about). He did however get excited when I started taking pictures of him, and I think he finally figured out my excitement. I think I understood correctly that his cousin goes to WSU and gave him the hat. Unfortunately, the pictures are on Derek's camera and he hasn't given them to me yet. I promise you, though, the picture will be worth the wait.

Well, there are my Coug rantings for now. I guess there is nothing left to say except: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! And may the phrase, "That's another... Cougar ... First ... Down" be uttered many times tomorrow. Go Cougs!
