Even before this day started, everyone in Minnesota already knew for whom this day is for. My husband and I decided to attend the morning mass so we can just cruise through the rest of the day til the game at 5. In the church, at least six people were wearing the famous purple jersey [...]
The first thing that I did when I get online this morning was check Jacy’s blogsite. To my surprise she made a post about her favorite Canadian band The Moffatts. What was surprising is not the subject- it was the fact that my sister was indulging herself on thoughts about her idols on the very [...]
