In case you avoided all sports and social media over the weekend (or just don't care!)- our beloved starting quarterback is done. Fractured his thumb in Sunday's game and will be out a few weeks at best, but it's likely that we won't get to see him return this season at all. Yes, I'm crying inside.

Yesterday at work it was eerily quiet. We all walked around with our heads hung just a little bit, with a little less pep in our steps than we had last week. It's like the life has been completely sucked out of our offices. To some it might sound silly. Being this intense over a sport. A game, if you will. But football is our life! It's our job! And our winning team was doing things this year that they hadn't done before. The stars were aligning, post-season wins were looking really, REALLY promising.
I can't completely jump ship and proclaim that life is over and we're done for- but we've got some TOUGH weeks ahead of us. Our backup QB will do his best, and all of Cincinnati will be cheering him on- but he's still a backup. He's still not the guy who's been leading our team all season long and rocking at it. So while I mourn Andy Dalton's fractured thumb injury for a little while longer, just know that I haven't completely given up hope in my team this year. That will never happen.
The past few days I've been so wrapped up in football land I kinda' forgot that Christmas is like, HERE. It's tough to juggle football life vs the holidays in December. Hard to believe it's only 10 days away, especially with this warm weather and rain we have going in Ohio. It feels more like Spring right now! But I know the chills and the snow aren't far behind.
So far we have four separate Christmas gatherings on our calendar, four days in a row at that- with Jared and I hosting the final one. As we get our menu together and party-prep I have to know- do you have a go-to holiday appetizer or side we should try out? I've got a rough idea of what we want to make but would love to try something new as well. Suggestions welcome :) Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!
