USA USA USA

       Can I tell you how much I enjoy the Olympics?...I absolutely love them! I turn them on as soon as I wake up and they are the last thing I watch before going to bed! I recently uploaded the London 2012 Olympics app to my phone...obsessed. My Saturday night consisted of eating Chickfila and watching the Men's gymnastics qualifying rounds and I thought that was a heck of a night...don't feel sorry for me. Swimming, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Soccer, Cycling, Weightlifting, Diving, Archery...I watch it ALL!
       Can we talk about the cute factor at the London 2012 Olympics?...My top favorite cute athletes so far: Ryan Lochte (swimming), Sam Mikulak (gymnastics), David Boudia (diving), Jake Dalton (gymnastics), and Lolo Jones (track) is gorgeous! I now know I need to start hanging out at the local pool/gymnastics gym to meet my future boyfriend/fiance/husband...just sayin. If you notice I didn't say, Michael Phelps...He seems to be a bit of a jerk this Olympics...anyone else agree?
       Our anthem. Our flag. When a U.S. Olympian wins gold and stands on the podium watching our flag and hearing our anthem I get insane chills and a bit misty eyed..what an amazing feeling representing our country, I can't even imagine! Which brings me to my next point: is 25 too old to start working towards an Olympic dream?...Yes, you say? I mean, I could do a heck of a back handspring back in high school, I think that could qualify me as a gymnast...no?? So, plan B: my future child will be an Olympic athlete...Olympics 2032, here we come! -Which is even more why I need to meet one of the athletes listed above, minus Lolo Jones.
       I consider myself to be a bit patriotic. I am a red, white, and blue wearing proud American! I feel so blessed to live in our country, there is no where else I'd rather be! The Olympics takes my patriotism to another level...I will randomly start shouting USA USA USA and singing our national anthem as is plays. Once again, I LOVE the Olympics. Go for the gold! USA!
