Sometimes Jon does something that makes me fall hysterically laughing into bed and that is one reason why I love him so...if he would not die of embarrassment and if I could figure out how to put what he was doing into words I would...but some things should be kept secret and left only to make me alone smile.

We woke up around 7am to watch the USA play Algeria in the World Cup. I love my husband for getting up on a day he could have slept in to watch the game with me. I am very thankful ESPN has been putting the games live on their website because we do not have cable and ABC sure was not airing the game...around minute 75 Jon was giving up hope...but as a former soccer player myself I encouraged him to not give up because in the game of futbol the game can be won in the very last minute. And then it came...minute 91, Donovan followed up and scored, and we were yelling and screaming in elation...but I could not celebrate forever...I sat right back down and waited for a call from the ref saying there was no goal, because really, that is what I have come to expect having seen 2 very good goals called back by poor refereeing...not until the final whistle was blown did I believe we had actually won the game! It was so freaking exciting! I loved it and am so glad Jon was there with me to sit in anticipation and then finally celebrate with me. Way to go USA! You rock and I am excited to follow you through into the next round...only the 5th time in World Cup history...

Isaiah entered my life today. He is not going to be very well liked I am sure. Not many people ever like to hear the hard truth, especially when it means acknowledging that there are a lot of things in life you need to address and change...

I got hit on when I was out running today. I was enjoying the warmth and sunshine of the day, reminiscing about the summer 7 years ago when I last ran myself back into good shape in the hills of Virginia. Then as I was on my last leg of the run I heard a man yell out to me from the Navy Lodge parking lot. At first I thought it was innocent enough because he asked if there was a gym on base...that makes sense...you see someone out running...they probably would know if there was a gym around...He continued to ask more specifics about the gym...by this point I am thinking all of this he could find out from the NAVY hotel he is staying in...but I did not mind helping the guy out. It was not until he told me how good I was looking today that I was like "R I I I I I I G H T." It is hot...I have been running for almost 30 minutes...I am a sweaty nasty mess and I look good? Yeah...OK! I bid him adieu and literally ran away! Seriously fella..you do not have anything better to do with your time than hit on people from a hotel parking lot?? SERIOUSLY??!! Hope that works out for ya!
