My husband, the Jeopardy Champion

The big day(s) finally came!!  Given the amount of emails and facebook updates I shared this week, I'll spare you many of the details here, but suffice it to say that Matt had his Jeopardy debut and it was an AMAZING event on many levels.  First off, didn't he look so handsome on TV!? Second, wasn't it a nailbiter!?!?  Third, HE ACTUALLY WON and can say for the rest of his life that he is a Jeopardy Champion  (nevermind that it was only by a dollar - he schooled those other contestants!). 
We were astounded by the outpouring of support and love our family and friends showed us by joining us at the watch party in Denver (or by hosting one in another state! you guys rock!!).  It was so awesome to watch Matt live out his dream in front of some of our favorite people in the world.  THANK YOU for sharing in that moment with us!!  And thank you to the many amazingly sweet texts/calls/emails that we received from across the country! 

Here are some pics from the watch party - the video after the pics is us all waiting to find out who won after all three contestants missed Final Jeopardy.

  1. Oh my gosh we DVR'd both episodes and it was so exciting to see him on TV - what a smart cookie he is! I'll be honest, every time a music category came on I got a little gleeful about him kicking some serious Jeopardy tail!!
