Olympic time!


It's my last week of summer vacation before work starts up on Monday. So what am I going to be spending my time this week doing? Cleaning and getting the house ready for me to go back to work and watching the Olympics of course! Thank you NBC Olympics for showing the events live online for people like me who doesn't have cable to watch. Now I don't have to miss the US Women's Soccer Team play a single game, nor do I have to miss a gymnastics routine, nor Lochte and Phelps battle it out in the pool. I'm pretty excited about it all. 

Currently I've got on South Africa and Japan battling it out on the soccer field. 

The hubs and I joke about the Olympics. It was four years ago around this same time that he asked my dad if he could marry me. How do we remember this time so well? Well...mom and I went out to get our nails done leaving my then boyfriend and dad to talk. Dad is suspicious and does what any good dad would do when the Olympics are on...He turns on beach volleyball and promptly falls asleep. On purpose. He did everything in his power to avoid "that talk." So Mom calls and wakes him up and tells him to be on his best behavior. We all laugh at it now, but I know the hubs still shivers inwardly when thinking about it. But that's my dad. He has a very dry sense of humor that many people don't appreciate. I personally find him quite funny. But I guess that's because I grew up around it.

Anyway, here's to an AWESOME Olympics and GO TEAM USA!!!!


Also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY POTTER!!
