Please forgive me for my blog hiatus I decided to take! I guess I just haven't felt we have had many blog-worthy events happen lately!!! We did have a great weekend this weekend though. Nothing exciting really; just being able to be home with very few things pre-planned and spend time together is my idea of a great weekend. It was basically filled with Olympic watching, yard work, a church party, and more Olympic watching!!! We watched it all...the opening ceremonies (which were amazing!), volleyball, sand volleyball, swimming, diving, gymnastics, biking, rowing, and basketball just to name a few! I hate watching that much tv, but I just can't pull myself away. I love the competition, and watching the world's greatest athletes complete. The best of the best. I also love learning about the competitors and their stories. I have caught myself on the edge of my chair many times already. Usually when Michael Phelps is racing! Did anyone watch the relay last night around 11:00? One word....AMAZING!! Totally worth staying up for! That will teach the French to talk trash to the greatest swimmer EVER! We also highly enjoyed our mini Olympic party on Sunday afternoon after church. Since the USA men's basketball team played China during church, we had some people over afterwards to eat some pizza and watch the game. We were only part of the billions of people that tuned it; great game! We felt like we were watching the Globetrotters at a few points with all the dunking by our team!
Anyways, I am not looking forward to staying up late every night glued to the tv,but I am excited for some more great competition!
I just love the fact the President Bush has been at so many competitions. Did anyone see him warming up with Walsh on the sand volleyball courts? What other President would do that!!

I am enjoying the Olympics as well. One thing to help us out though: Tivo. That way I only watch the events I want to, skipping right over the cycling, soccer, and other events I have little to no interest in. And that relay?? OH MY GOSH! That was one of the greatest things ever. I couldn't believe we won that. Hooray for the Olympics!
Yes, sadly we are using our dvr to record everything and do the samething. The bad part is that we want to watch it all!!!!
We have been watching quite a bit too. I tell anyone who starts to tell me about don't. I haven't seen it all. Have to watch those headlines as well. They have been amazing.
Going to sleep at midnight is starting to wear on me.
Okay...I have totally been "lurking" around your blog for MONTHS. It's weird, I know. At any rate...I have been so impressed with your cookies/cupcakes. I have a friend who is planning her daughter's 1st b-day and we were wondering if you decorate cakes and what your rates may be for cakes and cupcakes. The party is a beach theme and we'd also love any ideas.
We're in Ft. Worth and if I've read correctly, you are in the Dallas area.
If you are interested, please feel free to email me at monica_wright@yahoo.com
Thank you so much!!
