The Countdown Continues

Time is going by quickly, ladies and gents. Only about 9 WEEKS LEFT, until Jordan comes home from Afghanistan!

The choice for this week's countdown photo is Derek Roy (#9) of the Buffalo Sabres, our favorite hockey team. Before we were together, I didn't even know the first thing about hockey. In November of 2009, Jordan deployed to Romania for a short amount of time and asked if I would follow his team for him. I promised I would, without skipping a beat. I learned a lot about the game REALLY quickly, so I wouldn't look like a complete idiot, much thanks to wikipedia, google and sabres.com. I winged a few conversations and impressed him with word-for-word quotes from Yahoo Sports. I like to think my faked knowledge of his favorite sport earned me some "cool" points, as well as a new common interest in hockey.
