She pulled the purple sweatshirt down around her hands.  It was a very chilly day for a football game, but she wasn’t going to cover up her team pride if she could help it.  She sat amongst a sea of Green Bay Packer green, all of his friends were obviously Packer fans.  She decided she didn’t care – she was who she was, a Vikings fan. A icy gust of wind blew through their tailgating party, catching the stack of napkins and scattering them down the row.  She ran after them, stooping to catch as many as she could.  ”Hey look, it’s a real Vike-Queen!” a guy called out, pointing towards her.  His friends snickered and laughed.  ”I think you are on the wrong side of the parking lot sweetheart!”  ”Yeah, go back to purple country!”  The laughing and taunting continued as she picked up the napkins. She didn’t fight back, she just turned and walked back towards her friends.  The jeering and chuckling followed behind her.  She looked up and saw Scott walking towards her.  He had heard the teasing. Suddenly, her frustration got the best of her and a tear slid down her cheek.  She was embarrassed that something so silly had gotten to her. Scott laughed a little and pulled her in close. “It’s okay honey.  I love my little Vikings fan!”  She hugged him back, hard.  He kissed the top of her head.  This was why she loved him, because no matter what flaw she exposed or difference they discovered, still he loved her, and she him.

Tera and Scott share an infectious adoration for each other.  Their love and attention for the other is so wonderful to watch.  We had a great time tooling around Madison, their shared home.  I’m really looking forward to their wedding this fall at Olbrich Botanical Gardens and The Brink Lounge.
