HUGE, HUGE, HUGE NEWS!!!!

The huge news is revealed at the end of this post.  I hope you'll be as excited as I am to find out what it is!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you win the Superbowl, there's some very special traditions that you get to take part in.  

Like finally seeing the cover of your local newspaper declare you World Champions!!

And getting to wear World Champions logo apparel and party with crazy fans!

You get to hoist the Lombardi Trophy

And go to Disneyworld!!!

You host the greatest championship parade ever thrown

And earn the right to wear one of these babies!

The boys of the Black and Gold have gone through every champion's right of passage except for one.  Know what it is???  Here's a hint...

Did you guess visit the White House?  If you did, you get an A.  But all that changed today when the President hosted the World Champion New Orleans Saints.  How exciting!

And here's where the HUGE NEWS comes in.  Guess who was in attendance in the East Room as this monumental event occured!!!!!!!!!  


ME - this little old Saints fan got to be there in person!!!!!

If you think I look excited in that post-Superbowl victory photo, you should have seen me jumping up and down in line waiting to get security clearance!!!!

I seriously have no words to describe how incredible today was.  To be a part of this unique opportunity was more than I could have ever imagined.  I have tons of pictures (including one with Reggie Bush!!).  I'll post all about it tomorrow when my photos are downloaded!
