Happy Jumping Friday! (And why I'll be jumping like crazy this weekend)

This weekend I'm so thrilled to be doing fun things like have dinner with my cousin, shopping with my sister, brunch with my girlfriends, and....

Watching the San Francisco 49ers battle it out in the Super Bowl! What?! I know I haven't blogged a lot about my love for the 49ers (apart from that post about the player I know), but I grew up watching the games with my dad. I've never met a man who loves the team more than my him and the fact that they've come this far is a very very big deal.

I used to make fun of his yelling and jumping until I realized I'm the exact same way. In fact, I think I'm much much worse and I have to tone it down in public. It's another one of those love/hate realizations that I'm basically becoming my parents.

What's making you jump for joy today?

John and I have decided that after living in Baltimore and then moving to SF, we need to be very careful about where we head next–professional sports teams just seem to flourish! ;)

I was actually a big Niners fan as a kid, so it's fun to relive all of that!

oh i remember the last time the 49ers were in the super bowl...against my chargers and we lost! i was in elementary school and we had 'charger days' leading up to the game, i was crushed :) i am jumping for joy because it's february - my son and i were born on the same day so we celebrate twice, valentines day and the anniversary of when my husband and i got engaged!

A guy I went to high school played for the 49ers. No idea if he still does though. Arnaz Battle...

Over here in the UK, the 6 nations (rugby) has just started- and my dad sounds exactly the same as yours! He's Welsh, and gets so overexcited when they play. I've lucky enough to go to see Wales play in Cardiff a few times with him, and when you're at the game, no one cares if you're jumping up and down and screaming yourself hoarse! It's amazing.
