Pumpkin Passion

Okay, so I'm getting around to these blog entries a little later than some would think --- call it a New Year's resolution! But I was pretty sure you felt sad about missing out on our pictures of pumpkin carving... I'm sure a part of you thought -- "Man, I never saw how those Siefer's carved their pumpkins!"

Well, here you go -- we decided to try pumpkin carving two ways.... on the front...the traditional Jack!

Very scary and intimidating in the night...

And on the back we tried a new carving technique --- inspired from something on the food channel I am sure.... this was our best Frankenstein!

Also, very scary in the dark too! =) I liked this new technique -- but it did almost mean losing a few fingers -- must perfect next year!

Husker Power

As many of you know, I am a Cornhusker fan! This was part of the package deal when I married Jeremy... infact, I'm sure he snuck "you will support me through good Nebraska seasons and bad" into our vows somehow!

Since we were back in Sioux Falls for the wedding we decided to go to my first ever home game at the Lincoln, Nebraska stadium. We had great seats for the evening game!

For some reason I ended up in a purple shirt for the game. I'm pretty sure I was the ONLY person without red on for the game. So it should have been really easy for all of you to spot me on the TV screen!

Yup, seat 19 & 20... is where we sat.

Gotta love all the random fan shots they capture on the big screen!

And, as tradition goes, everyone released red balloons on the first Nebraska score.

...the good news is that it was a win for us...

...and the other good news is that I got to try my first Runza... this is a big food tradition in the mid-west, and so I was glad to partake in the warm meaty goodness!

All in all, it was a fun experience... can't say the football games I experienced at my D3 University were anything like this. So it was great to get caught up in the Husker Fever!
