All I do is WIN, WIN, WIN!

So I'm writing to you after a very exciting week. I still cannot believe that we are NATIONAL CHAMPIONS! Amanda and I had been looking forward to going to the Auburn bar to watch the game with our fellow fans for weeks and we decided to prepare by getting there early. We arrived around 6 p.m. and I'm glad we did because we were able to snag a table and watch pregame. Lots of people started piling in and by kickoff the bar was packed. If we couldn't be in Glendale or Auburn, this was the place to be! It was so exciting to watch with other fans but it was such a nerve-racking game! After the final field goal the bar exploded. After the win had sunk in, we all went outside to roll the only tree in sight....sort of an unofficial Toomer's Corner. It was the best way to watch the National Championship game!

On Tuesday, we were in for our second snowstorm this winter. When I woke up on Wednesday the city was covered in at least 6 inches of snow! Being from Alabama, seeing snow for extended periods of time is shocking! I'm still getting used to it. Amanda and I decided that we wanted to cross some more things off our "NYC Bucket List" and decided to go sledding in Central Park. Unfortunately, we didn't have actual sleds, but made do with plastic tubs from Bed, Bath and Beyond. That idea failed miserably and we went all over the city looking for real sleds. Finally, Amanda found a place that sold them and we decided to go back to the park for round two the next day. We had such a blast sledding down this huge hill near 72nd and 5th and had most of the hill to ourselves! Here are some photos of our adventures below:

In keeping with trying to cross things off our NYC Bucket List, Amanda had been wanting to go to a museum for a while and since we both happen to be poor, unemployed graduates, we found out that you can attend museums on certain days for free. We trekked up to the MoMA on a Friday night and got to see the works of Jackson Pollock, Monet, Picasso and Warhol. Below are some of my favorites:
