LET'S PAAAAAARRRRTTTTTTYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!



This is so incredibly fun!!!!! There's nothing like a city-wide celebration to get you out of your blue funk.

We were at a friend's house tonight watching the Superbowl. The fire alarm in her apartment building went off right at the beginning of the game. Everyone poked their heads out to see what was going on, but nobody was willing to leave their TVs.

The firemen arrived, and one of them came down to see how the game was going. He hung out with us for a few minutes. I'll post a picture of him with the kids tomorrow, as soon as Corley sends it to me. (It was on her camera, and she is in the middle of Oakland at the moment, probably swinging a Terrible Towel around her head, hugging total strangers and screaming her lungs out!!!)

When the game was over, random people began coming to the door. Everyone just opened up their apartment doors. We were all dancing, jumping around, screaming, waving towels and going crazy.

It looks like rush hour in the streets right now, even though it is snowing pretty hard. The roads are kind of slick, but people are still out honking and screaming and getting reeeeeeeaaaaaalllllly drunk.

We heard on the radio that a local sporting goods store is open, and t-shirts are going like hotcakes. The lights were also on at the stadium, and people were streaming in. Looks like there is going to be an all-night party in Pittsburgh.

WAY TO GO, STEELERS!!!!!!

If you want to be able to play all the fun songs and celebrate with us, a great website to go to is http://www.steelersinhoboken.com/SuperBowlXL.htm.

Who were you rooting for, Kiki? I can't figure it out. Seattle or Pittsburgh.

=)

I just have one thing to say:

Matt Leinart + New Orleans Saints = Super Bowl XLV!

I wish I was up there!!!!!

I didn't get to watch the game live (one of the occupational hazards of pastoring a church that has Sunday evening service), but I taped it and made sure I didn't see the score before watching it. It certainly wasn't the prettiest game I've ever seen, but who cares? All that matters is THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

I wish I was up there!!!!!
