Tebow and Downton Abbey...

What do these two things have in common? Nothing, except for the fact that I was excited about both of them this week.

Tebow mania has continued a little closer to home here in New Jersey. Our favorite football team is the Denver Broncos, so we were excited with all that Tebow brought to their league this past season. Not only was it awesome to see his character displayed, but how he always seemed to come through at the last minute in plays. I am not a huge sports fan, although I support and cheer for all of those that are Jason's favorites teams, but because of Tim Tebow's connection with the Florida Gators (my sister and her families team), his faith and playing for the Broncos made me partial to watching him play and cheering him on. Now to think he has been traded to our second favorite team the New York Jets just couldn't get any better for us. Lots of comments buzzing around though that this is the worst move the Jets could have made, according to Jason. I won't even begin to explain why because I don't watch ESPN, don't listen to sports radio and I don't even begin to understand the game of football besides the basic idea of it. Just being honest. I just know I like the guy and what he stands for, so whether he is a Bronco or Jet that is who I will be cheering on this next year.

I finally got to finish the second season of Downton Abbey. For those of you who didn't see my blog a couple months ago I started watching this show on PBS Masterpiece Classic per my parents recommendation. Loved it! Here is a preview of both seasons Downton Abbey-Season 1 and Downton Abbey Season 2. Season 2 came out the beginning of this year and I got to see a few episodes, but wanted to watch the first season to start so I could get the beginning of the story. I got both videos from my library, so if your interested in checking them out you might start there. My cousin tried to find the DVDs but said they started at $20. I loved seeing the story of a wealthy family in the early 1900's and their servants intertwine with lots of love, scandal, good guys, bad guys, war and emotions involved. What girl wouldn't love it! Okay, guys will like it to, just not my guy. Can't wait for Season 3, but have to wait until fall for that one.
