2007 Football Banquet

Michael had his end of the year football banquet where they recognized the seniors. Each Senior received a framed home jersey as a gift. It is beautiful but I have no idea where we will hang it in our tiny apartment. One day it will look nice in his office.
Michael's parents were able to join us at the Phoenician Resort for the banquet. ASU did a great job with the dinner and awards ceremony. As one of the captains Michael was asked to give a speech. He did a great job as always!
It is crazy to think that soon Michael will no longer play for ASU but we will always remain SUN DEVILS! Just a side note, Michael said he had the hottest date! Yeah Right!

Senior Game. Beat the CATS!

Before the game they introduced each senior one by one for the senior day festivities. There goes Michael exiting the tunnel. Every time I see this picture I get emotional.
Each players' families were down on the field to greet them for their final home game.
THE KICK IS BLOCKED! Oh, by who you ask? That's right, my sweet Michael was on fire and blocked the field goal attempt. If you did not already know we beat the Cats by three points.

This was right after he blocked the kick. Look at that face! How pumped is he?
After the game the fans swarmed the field and it was impossible to get anywhere. This is Michael getting interviewed by a reporter. Doesn't she have great hair? I love it.
Because Michael made the game winning play he was selected as the territorial cup MVP of the game! Unfortunately Michael does not get to keep the LARGE trophy because it is passed around each year. Michael said it weighed at least 100lbs. I am so proud of him for all of his hard work and dedication. He deserves all of this and more.

I AM SO THANKFUL!

This year we had a football game on Thanksgiving so we had a combined Thanksgiving with the Marquardts. Amanda was so nice to host the dinner at her home. The dinner was amazing and it was so fun to have everyone come visit Arizona. Thanks Amanda and mom for all your hard work.

The table was so pretty! Where else can you eat outside in the fall on Thanksgiving day? We just love Arizona!

Sweet Pete and Lilly

It was so fun to have the Marquardt Family with us this year!

One of Michael's biggest fans Em Morphy! Look at her sweet giggle!

The devils ended up winning! It is always so fun to see my sweetheart after the games!
Mere and I had tons of fun in the stands taking pics! What a babe she is?

More shots of Michael's family excited to greet him after the game.
Our friends Dave and Rachel made the road trip from AZ. I drove back with them later that night!
