What a weekend!

What a wonderful weekend! I am sitting on my couch right now thinking about how awesome this weekend was and how tired I am from having so much fun! The Mansfields came to visit which was so amazing, especially for Izzy and Maeby as Tracy practiced her motherly skills and was constantly showing some kind of affection to the two of them.
I just love hanging out with the Mansers as we are so content sitting around and chatting about life and catching up. Even though we enjoyed the apartment air conditioning, we still made it outside a few times to enjoy the wonderful sunny weather that neither one of us had the whole week. We ventured to the dog park, I played and they watched a soccer game, strolled around rocking Rockville with the pups so that Zack and Tracy could remember surburbia and hit up Panera, and we went to eat at a sport's bar to watch our tar heels give up an amazing performance by our starting pitcher and lose 5-2 in ten. Needless to say, it was soo much fun! Thanks for hitting up the bus and taking a trip to the DC area!
We also got a treat with the Whitehills visiting. Although we didn't get to see them very much, we still had a great time. They got to experience their first Women's Professional soccer game plus their first DC United game which turned out to be a very good game. Plus the fans from United were in rare, but good form! We then met them in good ol' Bethesda for some good grub and chat time and it was some good quality time with the in-laws. Sadly, they left today, but the short but sweet trip was a whole lot of fun for Robert and I.
As I reminisce about the weekend, I am just filled with the joy that these great families bring me. I love being around them and I love that they were here to see the first shutout(finally!) of the Washington Freedom! Now it's nap time so I can recover from the weekend and so I will be ready for our next game...St. Louis. They did just take second place from us after the weekend so we need to go there and take it back!

I love my team

So...yesterday we had a small practice to help us recover from our game against Virginia on Saturday. We all know that we have Monday off and one would think that we would take this long break from each other since we have literally been together 24/7 the last three weeks. Instead, we get together for a pizza party to watch FC Gold play the Boston Breakers. I just love how we love to hang out with each other.
I also was able to see the cherry blossoms with some of my teammates and it was just beautiful. Izzy and Maeby were also able to take in the beautiful, yet crowded cherry blossoms, and we just had a blast. I was told that they were quite a site to see, but I guess I didn't know that trees could be so pretty(especially when they are all in a row around the memorials). It was fun to get a glimpse of how great Washington DC can be.
So...I love my team. It's just nice that we have great chemistry on this team, and I just know that as the season keeps going that is really going to pay off. And I just know that even though we lost our first game, that is definitely NOT going to be a common trend!
