It's Me, Sara Louise

Not only is February my most wonderful time of the year, what with my birthday and Valentines day and all, but it is also when The Six Nations kicks off. And, it always begins on my birthday weekend (and fyi… the Superbowl is always that weekend too… it’s very sporty my birthday).

This year it started on my actual birthday, so that was pretty cool. And in a full on case of bizarreness… not only did it start on my birthday, but it finishes on my wedding anniversary. Is that kooky or what? Clearly, this year’s tournament is all being put on for my own personal amusement.

Thanks guys.

But because I’ve been wrapped up in freezing cold temperatures and freezing pipes, I completely forgot to tell you all about how France beat Italy for my birthday. It was a sweet present and much appreciated. This guy scored the first try…

Allow me to introduce you to The Husband’s favorite, Aurélien Rougerie, aka RoRo. Now as much as I think RoRo is a cute nickname, can we take a moment to appreciate the greatness of the name Aurélien… it’s very Lord of the Rings-esque isn’t it? Not that I’m a Hobbit nerd or anything, but that one is definitely going on the future baby name list (OK, maybe I am a bit of a Hobbit nerd).

And let me apologize in advance, because my posts for the next six weeks will be peppered with tidbits of rugby here and there. So when I’m droning on and on about it… just try to remember that I’m talking about these guys…
