I have been a Broncos fan since I was a little girl. My father was a huge football fan. At that time there was no fighting over the remote mostly because it wasn't a remote. You only had one TV in your house and the dad ruled the TV. The downside was that we always had to watch what he wanted to watch, but the upside was I learned a lot about football and I fell in love with the game. Now let me slip something in here saying that to be honest I would never have wanted my son to play football because as a mom I think it would terrify me. But as a spectator, watching grown men that I do not know and have no attachment to grapple with each other and tackle each other and just pound each other and to the ground it's pretty exciting to me.
When my father was watching a football game one particular Sunday afternoon, I remember walking into the living room and seeing a team that had horses that were rearing up on their helmets the colors that they wore were royal blue and a bright orange. Blue has always been my favorite color, and what little girl doesn't like horses, so my love of the Denver Broncos began that day. I watched them faithfully while growing up and at one point I even fantasized that someday I would be Mrs. John Elway. Thankfully that did not become a reality because I can't imagine spending my life with anyone other than my husband, even though he is a Vikings fan.
As our three children were being raised they too learned about football and have fallen in love of the game. We love the game, we get together to watch the games and if we can't be together we are texting while watching the games. We are also very loud fans! However we are very diverse family now. My husband Jay and our son Austin are Minnesota Vikings fans. I, and my daughter Chelsea are Denver bronco fans. Our daughter Ashley somehow slipped through the cracks and became a Green Bay Packers fan. We consider that one of our greatest parenting failures. Chelsea married Tyler who is a Dallas Cowboys fan. We have found a way to put that aside and welcome him into our family and love him.
Now we have a granddaughter, and I am so proud that Chelsea is determined to raise her right by having her be a Broncos fan from birth. To make sure that happens I decided to do a little splurging on Amazon and the result is shown below. It's perfect since Denver made it to the Super Bowl this year!
GO BRONCOS!!!
