Jay and Becca hosted a super fun Super Bowl XLIX party last weekend. We wouldn’t have been able to attend were it not for our bowling league (we’ve been bowling in a league with my parents on Sundays for almost a year now) being canceled that night.<\/p>\n

The funny thing is that we play through on most holidays but they actually canceled bowling on Super Bowl Sunday. I don’t care what people say. Super Bowl Sunday is a national holiday in the US. They should just declare it as such. LOL.<\/p>\n

We were all smiles because we knew our team was going to win. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

They sure made it exciting, though.<\/p>\n

Jenni joined us and had a lot of fun playing with the kids.<\/p>\n

I came dressed appropriately for the event in my one and only Pats shirt and my most patriotic earrings (acquired a few years ago when we visited the East Coast and toured Sam Adams with the Dills).<\/p>\n

Our friend Rune was like, “Are you really a Pats fan or are you just trying to be nice to Jay?” To which I replied, “I don’t know enough about football to have any real favorites, but I do like the Pats more than any other football team because their team colors coordinate with the colors of my other favorite team (Boston Red Sox and KU).” #trueconfessions<\/p>\n

We had a great time. Thank you so much for hosting, Jay and Becca!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday Brian, Jenni, Eleanor, Nicole, and I bowled in a fundraising event for the YMCA Strong Community campaign. Angie and her husband Cory bowled with us. It was my first time meeting Angie and Cory but they seem really cool and fun. And, they’re really good bowlers too!<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from the bowl-a-thon yesterday.<\/p>\n

Here’s Jenni and Nicole, goofing around.<\/p>\n

Angie looked so cute in her orange tutu!<\/p>\n

And, yes. This happened. <\/p>\n

Brian and I had a great time. Don’t mind my greasy chin. The pizzas were really greasy yesterday but I couldn’t help myself. I ate a few slices. Who can resist AJ’s pizza?<\/p>\n

If there’s one thing that Northrock Lanes has going for it, it’s that it’s got a pretty good sports bar on site. Most other bowling alleys just have okay food. AJ’s serves pizza that I don’t mind eating and that says a lot because I don’t like pizza. <\/p>\n

Granted, it’s no Ziggy’s but the pizza is good and reasonably priced<\/a>. Whenever I feel like bowling, I always think of Northrock first before any of the other bowling alleys because it’s just set up better all the way around. <\/p>\n

The only other bowling alley that would be better would be the Alley but their prices are expensive. So if you want to bowl cheap and eat decent food, my recommendation will always be Northrock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
