Recovering...

You are probably wondering what I am recovering from. Well I am happy to say that it was nothing too serious. I just recovered from the USA vs. Slovenia game that was an impressive performance by the US! I was so proud to be an American that day although we got robbed of a goal!! I am kind of happy that there was controversy with the game because I think it will help the US as a whole to see how powerful and amazing the game of football is. I know football is more popular in Europe but my hope is that the US will be able to appreciate football as much as the rest of the world. I am not saying that there are not tons of US football fans but I would like to hear more about football in the US besides the World Cup coverage! I have moved on from the USA's game and Germany's lose and am looking forward to watching USA match against Algeria tomorrow. I am also looking forward to watching Germany fight to continue to stay alive in the Cup! I have been able to record all of the games and if I miss the game I can go back and watch the goals since I follow FifaWorldCupTM and Fifacom on Twitter. Both of those accounts have been a crucial tool to my success and knowledge of World Cup action!!! I know I have said this before but I am still blown away. ESPN has done a fabulous job with the coverage from South Africa. I feel so involved in the tournament and couldn't ask for better coverage. It's truly been incredible.

Aside from the World Cup action that consumes my life, I have been working on a vision board based off of the book, The Secret. I have read it many times and the whole concept of the book is if you ask for something and you believe it will happen, than it will! It's an easy process in theory, but if you put something out there and don't believe it, your thoughts of negativity will overshadow your original goal. I hope that doesn't confuse you! I have included such success related to learning how to play my guitar, good health in the next year, and even committing myself to going to the 2012 London Olympics!!! I am so excited to see all of my thoughts and dreams convert from paper to reality! I think it is going to be amazing.

I am going to hopefully start to work @ Kohl's this week or next week. I officially have no money and I want to get a few items like a camera, a pair of TOMS wedges for summer!, and even a guitar book. I don't have any choice but to work to make some money. Also, one of my sorority sisters has her wedding in August and I would love to go!!! I want to be able to meet up with some of my sisters and have a great time before I have to work full-time and have some decisions to make.

My summer started off with a great run with one of my best friends Gabby. It was so great to work out with her! I had such a great time running and chatting away! I need to get back in shape and that was the start of it! I can't wait to see how the rest of the summer is going to go!! It should be a great time! Well now you are officially updated on my life! Things have been exciting and new but I have really been able to enjoy the simple things in life!!!
