A Surprise

I love the Olympics. I even watched it when I was little and had dreams of being a swimmer! I loved the water. Even when my kids were little, I watched the Olympics and one of my fondest memories is of Kristin watching the gymnastics and trying to perform the routines in front of the television. It was so funny and we have it on video. She was a riot. As she got older, she was my Olympic watching buddy. So, when she went to college during these 2008 Olympics, that was just another reason to be a little sad.

But, God had a nice surprise for me....someone else in our household is an Olympic fan and I never knew it!! My Korie!! She loves it so much, she watches it on channel 25 during the day...she watches water polo, canoeing, badmitton, you name it...and she comes out and gives me reports. She is up with me till the end during Prime Time and we cheer the US on together. It has been a nice surprise and I have really enjoyed it. I think God knew I needed that...and Korie probably did as well. So, tonight we will watch Michael Phelps tie Mark Spitz record (yes, I watched Mark get those 7 medals...why do you think I wanted to swim in the Olympics??) and we will watch the first night of track and field. We will cheer together and give high fives.....and life will go on and it will still be good!!
