Yeah, it's been a while. It'a amazing how school starts and life takes a back seat. Chris and I try to squeeze in fun things to keep us going. We love the Salt Lake Real games. If you have never been to one, go! They are a blast! We both had wanted to go to the LA Galaxy vs. SL Real game, but we thought it would be too expensive. My wonderful and amazing husband decided that he would check the day before the game to see what deals we could get, and he found an amazing one. Two tickets, great seats for $20. So we jumped on it. Now, before we were married, I would have never been able to recognize players, but times have changed. I now not only recognize some of the players on both teams, but I can also recognize athletes from other sports...and even the voices of ESPN announcers. lol. I secretely love it though. Sorry i'm getting a bit off track... Anyway, it was an amazing game, and very close. One of my favorite players on the LA Galaxy is Landon Donovan. I've always liked him, but in this game I saw him act like a kindergartner and shove somebody after the ball was out of bounds. I was disappointed in him, and I even mentioned something about it to Chris who made the comment I'm already thinking like an elementary teacher. lol. By the end of the game though I forgave him and he's still one of my favorites. To be honest I was very impressed with David Becham. I actually saw him score two goals, and both times he bent the ball. It was impressive. The rest of the stadium seemed to be very impressed with him too. Although most were supporters of Real SL, everybody cheered when he made those goals. At one point Real had to take a penalty shot, and somebody from the stands behind us shouted "Hey Becham! Will you kick it for us?" Everybody around us started laughing, and shouting similar things. Then later, Becham had to pick up the ball out of bounds and when he bent over to pick it up, all the women in the stands behind him started screaming. lol. Suddenly we were in a stadium of 13 year old girls. But that was nothing compared to the end of the game when he took off his jersey and gave it to somebody in the crowd. The entire stadium went silent, and everybody just stared at how much his body looked like a picture. I'll admit I looked, but so was everybody else. lol. The game was a blast, and completely worth it! We can't wait for the stadium to be finished so we can watch the games up there...and one day when we're rich we'll buy season tickets. GO Real Salt Lake! Woooo!

We were at the game too! SO FUN! I was disappointed that RSL lost, but it was still fun. I too was very disappointed in Landon Donavon. I've always loved him and thought of him as a very classy player. That shove, classless. Oh well.
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. It helps to know that someone understands what I'm going through. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm here to talk if you ever need anything.
Thanks again.

Forever!!!
