Olympics, Olympics, Olympics

Sorry again that I've been MIA lately. This summer I just haven't been very good at keeping up with my blogging. My latest excuse is that I spend from July 27-August 12 watching the Olympics as much as I could. I made my family bring the tv whenever we went camping, each night you could pretty much guarantee that I would be sitting in front of the TV watching the Olympics. I also set up a mediacom email account so I could watch swimming live during the day. I now follow a multitude of athletes on twitter (traci beat me to them all though).

I'm not sure what exactly it is about the Olympics, but I just love them. I love hearing the stories about how far they've come. I love watching the records being broken and history being made. It's all just so amazing. I wish the summer olympics were every year, but then it wouldn't be as special so I guess I'll accept it being every 4 years.

The weekend of the 3rd I went to Minnesota to visit my friend Erin. We spent quite a bit of time watching the Olympics and she has DVR so that was so much better. We were able to fast forward through the commercials and also skip the events that we didn't really care about. Also while I was visiting her we went to the Mall of America and the nike store. While there we saw lots of the uniforms that the athletes wear. We saw the jacket that they wear on the podium when receiving their medal and wanted it so bad. The only problem is that is it $450.  Just look at this beauty:


So if any of you are looking for something to buy me this would be it ;)

While with Erin I also had a tour of her hometown and saw where she went to high school, etc. We also did other random things around town and worked on our tans a bit on her deck. It was a great weekend and I'm so glad that I went. I'm really glad that we decided to live together last year because she has become one of my best friends and I really value our friendship. I'm also really glad that Marc's still in pharmacy school with me too so she'll be visiting DSM frequently this year!
