The Boys are Back!

Are you ready for some football? Ok, I know its not Monday night, but it IS the first Cowboy game of the season! Not only are the Cowboys in DC to play the Redskins today, but they are staying in the hotel that is literally 20 feet from our apartment!

Last night we decided to go for milkshakes after dinner. Usually, we cut through the Nordstroms to get to the food court, but last night I was wearing sweatpants and I feel like the people in Nordstroms judge what I'm wearing so we decided to walk around outside. As we passed the Ritz-Carlton, we saw a bunch of HUGE dudes in suits signing autographs for people decked out in cowboys gear. So, of course, we hid in the bushes (so as not to get in trouble for loitering) and watched. It was definitely the Cowboys. SO COOL! We hurried to get our milkshakes and came back and hid behind the bushes again. By this time there were MORE of them and they were all getting in cabs to go to dinner.

When we came home we got on the cowboys roster and looked at the pictures. We decided that we definitely saw the defensive ends and other defensive players. As Caleb said, that is the closest I have ever slept to the entire Dallas Cowboys team. I told him that we should walk into the Ritz, go to the front desk and ask for Wade Phillips and tell him we had a few things to discuss before the game: advice#1: Don't suck! The preseason has me a little worried...

I have also discovered that we are going to have to be Cowboys fans in secret. When we were at the Nats game the other night, two guys were walking around in their Romo and Ware jerseys. Not only were the fans giving them grief, but the stadium workers were seriously harassing them. I heard one woman say to them, "how dare you wear those *bleeping* jerseys in here. don't you know where you are? show some respect!" Lovely. And I thought Cowboys fans were intense...

All that to say, our drapes are closed, the lights are off and we are pretending we aren't here. BUT, in reality, we are SO ready for some dallas cowboys football!


Bring it on deadskins!
