I Love the Olympics

The Summer Olympics are my favorite Olympics. I love watching women's gymnastics and swimming. The US athletes were phenomenal especially in these two events. I have DVRed the Olympics every night. Props to Michael Phelps for his outstanding performances and kudos to his teammates for helping him make history. This picture is available to you compliments of a friend's page.
Since he is coming back to the East Coast after the Olympics, I may just take a road trip up to Baltimore! I know he mentioned taking in a Raven's game.

My other favorite athlete of the games is Nastia Liukin. She has been fabulous! I know everyone expected Shawn Johnson to win, but I really wanted Nastia to win the gold. This is most likely her first/last Olympics. She's really cute too. I am so proud of the US gymnasts. They still have a chance to win more medals. Before the individual competition last week, I gave a speech at our Toastmasters meeting. I spoke on the history of gymnastics, the US Olympic team history and the apparatuses themselves. It was a very energetic speech. I even began and ended with saluting everyone. I know, sometimes I'm over the top. Here's another great picture from the gymnastics events.


The only thing I have been disappointed in at this years Olympics is the US's track and field performance. We still have a week to pick things up.

Herve Dress

A few weeks ago, my friend introduced me to the "Bandage" dress. It's a popular style from the 80's, unbeknownst to me. At first I wasn't sure about the style. That was until I tried on the most expensive piece of clothing I've ever touched. It was a $1000 Herve dress similar to the one seen here on Blake Lively. No matter how tight the dress was, the fit was fantastic.

Here is a similar dress for much less at BCBG or this one at Bebe.

Another One Bites the Dust

This isn't the best title for my blog today, but it rings true. I found out this evening that David's grandfather passed away. He was 89. All of my living grandparents (all on David's side) he was my favorite. He was really cute and very friendly. I'm so glad we were able to see my a few weeks ago during our visit home. He even bought me Coke, it was diet though, for my visit to this house. It was so sweet. I will miss him.

To warm my heart tonight, I am watching ABC Family.
