A House Divided

Super Bowl this year was a pretty big deal in the Silver house. Darrin's family are multiple generations of 49er fans. And most of the time I would be too. But this year the Baltimore Ravens were in the Super Bowl too.

I started liking the Ravens several years ago when the movie The Blindside came out. I just loved the story of Michael Oher so much that I started to cheer for the Ravens. In all actuality I am probably more a Michael Oher fan but since he's currently playing for the Ravens then that makes me a Ravens fan.

Darrin's family loves sports and so they thought it was cute that I was showing interest in football even if it was for the Ravens. That was until the Ravens won the playoffs and would be playing against the 49ers this year in The Big Game!

Pop called me a few days before the game and was doing a bit of trash talking so we decided to make a friendly bet of two dollars on the game. Everyone came over on Sunday and I was the lone duck cheering for the Ravens. Luckily no one disowned me!

The 49er fans!

We had a fun time watching the game and most of the commercials. (Check out my motherhood later blog to hear more about the commercials!) The game had many ups and downs but in the end Michael Oher and the Ravens pulled it off. Luckily I had bought some sympathy cupcakes to have on hand for the 49er fans!
