Am I Red Sox bandwagon fan?

I've only been a fan since the summer of 2006. My wife is originally from Rhode Island and we took a vacation there to show me where she grew up and such. She toured me all around New England and I fell in love with it. I fell in love with New England, everything about New England, baseball, and then, New England sports teams especially the Red Sox. Since 2006, I've been a die-hard fan and I educated myself with the history of the Red Sox. I know I haven't gone through some of the pain and heartbreak of such moments like Bucky Dent, Buckner's miscue in the 1986 World Series or Aaron Boone's walk off home run in the 2003 ALCS but in the last 5 years I've already gone through some sorrow such as the Red Sox missing the playoffs in 2006 and 2010, getting swept in the 2009 ALDS by the Angels and that gut wrenching loss to the Rays in game 7 of the 2008 ALCS. After they worked so hard to come back from a 3-1 series deficit too. Man, that hurt. Anyways, I'd love to hear some opinions from everybody and what you guys think and even if everybody thinks I'm a bandwagon fan, I don't care. I love the Red Sox and nothings changing that. Still, I'd love to hear from you guys.
