Eight Rules/Go Cardinals!!


I love this family! Here are their 8 rules to be a Warner. What would your 8 be?(Seriously, I'd love to know)
By the way, Dad happens to be Kurt Warner, quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals!

1. Everyone has to agree on which strangers’ meal to pay for when dining at a restaurant.

2. At dinner, share the favorite part of your day.

3. Hold hands and pray before every meal.

4. After ordering at a restaurant, be able to tell Mom the server’s eye color.

5. Throw away your trash at the movie theater and stack plates for the server at restaurants.

6. Spend one hour at an art museum when on the road.

7. Hold hands with a sibling for 10 minutes if you can’t get along.

8. If you can’t get along holding hands, sit cheek to cheek. (If you can’t get along cheek to cheek, then it’s lips to lips!)

#7 & #8 are my absolute favorites, but for all us former servers in the crowd(and that would be me too), these are our kind of people!

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI...and he has also been the NFL's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. He established the First Things First Foundation in the spring of 2001 with wife Brenda to promote Christian values and bless the lives of those less fortunate with projects such as trips to Disney World for ill children, building recreation centers in children's hospitals, helping single moms achieve the dream of homeownership and teaching Special Olympians the football basics. All projects are centered on Kurt and Brenda's life theme: faith and family come first. The official website is: http://www.kurtwarner.org

I wept at a story forwarded to me about how they met working in a grocery store. Turns out it's bogus. Nevertheless, she's a former Marine and was a single Mom of 2 at the time they did meet. Her son was blinded and brain damaged when thrown on the floor as a baby by his real father. They have been through a lot and are doing SO MUCH for others because of all the compassion they have because of it. What really incredible people!!! Arizona wins, no matter what the score ends up on Sunday. But GO CARDINALS anyway!!
