You ready?

I sure am! The WPS is getting ready to get started and it starts at 6pm east coast time with us(the washington freedom) and LA Sol playing against each other! Tune in on Fox Soccer Channel because I am so excited! I'm excited to be playing in the first game, but mostly I am just so excited to be playing.... What a year, but I am glad that a new year has begun! If you are in LA, come to the game, but if you aren't, you better be watching! Hope to see you there or I hope to hear from you after the game! Go Freedom!

Rockville Rocks

Just wanted to give a small update on what is going on with the Freedom. I am living in a town called Rockville, Md and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It is about 15 minutes from our fields which means I don't have to get in the crazy traffic of DC! The dogs are up here with me and Robert has been up every weekend, so we have been working on finding the ins and the outs of Maryland. I can honestly say I never thought I would be living in Maryland, but I like it!
The team is looking great. We did lose in a scrimmage to Sky Blue, but I felt our chemistry got better as the game went on. I would say for our first ever game, we did pretty well. I am just excited for the league. It is truly a great opportunity for so many different people and I am just glad I get to live in this moment!
We head down to Wilmington, NC tomorrow to play my old team, UNC, which I am pretty excited about! Then we head to LA the next weekend to play in the inaugural game! I can't believe this is finally getting started. I am just having fun and I hope you have fun watching!

Jackson Hole, Wyoming!

Snow Day in NC!

Long time, no update

I just realized that it has been over a month since my last blog entry, and well, that is just too long. The good news with this entry is that I will also be adding two new photo albums so you can SEE what I have been up to for the past month.
Basically all I have been doing this month is getting ready for the new Women's Pro Soccer league. I head up to Maryland to play with the Washington Freedom next week and I am pretty excited about it. I am just excited that we are finally getting our league off the ground and I am also excited about getting to play a lot of games. It has been awhile since the last time I stepped onto the pitch in an organized game, but I am so excited that the Inaugural game is just around the corner.
January and February have been a lot of fun. We actually had a snow day here in North Carolina(which is one of the photo albums), the Tar Heels have finally gotten their act together with leadership and big time play by EVERYONE, Grace and I headed out to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to visit our wonderful friends, Ashley and John Merritt(the other photo album, and don't worry about me in the skis. It was cross country skiing so there was no worries with the ACL!), me and the dogs had a lovely birthday given to us by the greatest hubby, my parents and Brandt came to visit, and well I have just loved being in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. Not only have I had a wonderful winter, but Robert was able to go to the Duke game(thanks to Neill) in Cameron and cheer on the Tar Heels as we dominated the dookies! With Neill being at the game and Zack arriving the next day, Robert was able to celebrate the whole weekend! And let's face it, we all know that the Dook game was all those three talked about! And really, that's all that Grace, Ashley, John, and I talked about! It was quite a great day sending all the Duke seniors away without ONE win at Cameron against us Tar Heels!
To say the least, January and February were two great months(I guess it is a good thing we have a little bit left of February!), but I am going to be sad to leave my Durham home. I love my house and I love the memories that I have formed these past seven months of ACL recovery. BUT I am excited about the new memories up in DC and the idea of playing in a real professional league! The only question remains, what is Bailey and Ellie going to do without doggie day care? Or I guess the better question is going to be, what am I going to do without doggie day care??? HAHA
