I enjoyed watching Notre Dame beat Duke yesterday. Overall though, college football didn't seem the same. I'm sure part of it is the fact that there aren't many fans in the stands. I'm also sure it was because there was no Big Ten football. I hadn't realized how much we watch Big Ten games overall. No OSU to root for, and just not many games that interested me.
Our Saturday evening also wasn't the same. We haven't been home for many Saturdays since Catherine went to school, and she's been around for a couple of them as well. Last night though, the void was just so prominent. I used to enjoy our Saturday evenings when we would all sit around and laugh at a movie or cheer for a team. I also enjoyed Andrew and I cheering a team in one room while the kids watched a move in another. Now though, it's just Thomas sitting in the room alone and it feels wrong. I used to feel guilty when all four of us were hanging out, but I also so very much appreciated those evenings. Now I just truly feel awful for Thomas that he is home with us.
I know that we are in the midst of a new normal in so, so many ways. It just takes some getting used to all of it!
