Game Day Looks to Make You Stand Up and Cheer!

Every Saturday morning in the fall, our family group text starts this way: “Get up: it’s game day!” If you’ve been hanging around here for a while now, you know we’re huge college football fans in our family. College football season is right around the corner, and we’ve been counting down the days! Since we became empty nesters, going to games has been one of our favorite dates! It’s also become a great way to connect with old and new friends. We love football season for so many reasons!
