I'll just let you soak in the beauty of that picture for a minute.

Isn't that a spectacular sight?!! It has 8 carats and 404 diamonds and the guys received them this past Wednesday. Boy am I ever glad I picked the Blackhawks as "my team".
On October 15, 2008, I went to my first professional hockey game at the United Center in Chicago. It was the Chicago Blackhawks vs. the Phoenix Coyotes. I was in town for my work and decided to go see a hockey game since I was there on my own and had nothing to do that night. As soon as the game started I knew I had picked the right team to see for my first game. I absolutely fell in love with the sport and the team. The atmosphere in the arena was thrilling and I couldn't help but get swept up into the excitement of the whole arena. It also didn't hurt that my eyes about bugged out when they showed Patrick Sharp on the big screen and played ZZ Top's "Every Girls Crazy 'Bout a Sharp Dressed Man" when he was shown.
Growing up in Texas, hockey is not a sport that is big there. Football? Check. Baseball? Check. Hockey? You're crazy. I know my friends and family think I'm nuts because I am such a die-hard hockey fan now. I will admit I don't know any of the rules of hockey but I know enough to watch the game and enjoy it. Going to the Blackhawks Hockey 101 session helped too.
Thank goodness it is now October because I don't know how much longer I could have gone without hockey. I'm going to the Texas Stars preseason game tomorrow night to feed my addiction.
And if you need to see the ring again.....
