My First Colts Game

There's this thing called football...ever heard of it? I really hadn't either until I started dating. But while I don't understand anything about the game, let it never be said that your Bits Girl doesn't give valiant effort to full participation in those things that quicken the heart of her man.

And so it was that last Sunday, I donned a new Colts shirt (gift from the love of my life) and Colts socks (gift from the love of my life) and Colts earrings (gift from the best future mother-in-law on the planet) and blue nail polish (chosen and applied by yours truly) and a Colts sweatshirt (borrowed from the love of my life) and two strands of beads (bequeathed from my Colts loving sister)...

...and we went to a Colts game!

 We were right in the middle of this photo opp when some guy on a bike said, "Oh are you selling those tickets?" Do we look like people who are prepared to sell these tickets? I think not.

 My official photo with Lucas Oil Stadium. And an ill-placed pole that blocked part of our view.

 Our seats. GREAT seats for photos. Great seats period. But when you're afraid of heights, these seats cause you to cling a little more tightly to the one you love.

 He didn't seem to mind.

 This bad boy flew around before the game. Ryan said if he were in charge of flying it, he'd be tempted to fly it as close to the crowd as possible. I so hope he never gets the itch for his pilot's license...

 Not that I ever watched Dallas Cowboys Making the Team show...but if I had, ever in my life, I'd have to say their coaches would have not liked these lines. But it's still better than I could have done. (Their non-matching outfits messed with my OCD!!)

 Welcome to the field, boys!!! Wanna know something funny? Never saw Andrew Luck the entire game. Found out later he had one of the best games of his career. And I didn't even know he was in the house! Football fail.

 Perhaps because I was too busy being fascinated by the giant inflatable horse?

 Loved the National Anthem (sung by a man who could actually sing and didn't try to be all fancy pants) and the giant flag that covered the field.

 KICK OFF!!!

 My patient, long-suffering sweetheart who paused for photos. I hope he watched a little of the game amid my shoulder-pokes and "what's that??" So like taking a two year old to a game.

 The only Dolphins fan in our section. If he was standing and no one else was, I knew I shouldn't clap.

 TOUCHDOWN BABY!!!!!!! (That's a good thing.)

 The one thing I learned in the game. When to yell FIRST DOWN!!!! It only took until the 4th quarter to get that one.)

 Enjoying my first game. From a seated position.

 Photo of my friend Ehrin, who was in this section. See her?

 In my next career I want to be Blue. You don't have to suck in.

 COLTS WIN!!! 23-20!!! (I understood that part.)

 Goodbye first Colts Game ever in my life!

And you've now enjoyed a football game post which contained no actual photos OF THE GAME. Rookie.
