It’s weird how you have such highs and lows all in one 2 day weekend

Saturday everything sucked since my home computer decided it no longer wanted to startup. Changed out the motherboard/power supply, computer fires up, and now disk is corrupted. nice. Good thing I’ve been burned by this before and have everything backed up to my server, so I hopefully wont lose any music/files or more importantly, pictures that Jen and I have from vacation, honeymoons, family events, etc. I really didnt feel like re-installing this week, but it looks like that’s how things go.

The BETTER part of the weekend was downtown. We spent the afternoon at a Germanfest, then off to the Bears game. It was an up and down game, Bears scored first and then ended up trailing most of the game. We had *awesome* seats too (thanks Jen!) so we were like 20 yards from all the action. 4th quarter, Bears are down 14 points w/ 9 minutes or so to play. People are starting to leave. Bears hold on defense then block a punt… so on and so forth. Here it is 4th down, 25 seconds to play in the game, Bears at the goal line. Pass to Berrian. TDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. PAT made, all tied up with 20 seconds to go. Broncos get a nice pass down the field to get them to midfield, next play, false start, 10 second run-off. we’re going to OT. Bears win the toss and march all the way down to the 20, line up a Robbie Gould FG, GOOD! Bears win, after being down 14 points with 9 to play. Offense looked horrible, defense looked horrible. Special teams once again saves them. It was a great game to be at! So much fun!

And to top off the good weekend, today is Jen’s birthday! happy bday sweetie!
