Go Seahawks!

I don't a lot about the Seahawks and football but yesterday's game against the former Super Bowl Champions was the most fun I have ever had watching football. We came into the playoffs as the first team to be in a playoff with a losing record. And then we had to play the Saints. We beat them and this run by Lynch is the most exciting thing I have seen in sports in a long time. Notice how our quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is blocking for Lynch at the end of his run using his broken wrist. My mom, Jay and James and I were screaming and jumping in unbelief as we watched this. Seattle needed this. We lost the Sonics, and the Mariners are doing poorly. Below is the actual run and below that is the animation of the run with the Steve Raible's radio call. Steve has been in the northwest my whole life and to hear him so excited as he called this give me goosebumps. So cool!

I agree- that was such a fun game!!! I thought for sure they were going to lose, and it was great to see them silence all the critics- including myself!!! I was jumping up and down having the time of my life!

I know even less than you, Susie!! Are the Seahawks from Seattle? And who was the former winners?

That is a neat video, and such a great game!

I saw your comment about the digital scrapbooking! Thank you for your kind words... you are always so sweet. The company I used is called Close to My Heart. I was doing some card classes with a lady through that and then they started doing the digital scrapbooking called Studio J. So that was my first go at it and I really liked it! I can tell you more about it if you want.
