What's going on

It’s Friday, that’s for sure.  I’m thankful that it’s Friday.  Looking back on this week, I cannot believe how the US men’s soccer team is playing lately.  Some reason (I’m not sure how) they are still in the world cup qualifier.  I guess it could be because some of the other teams are not very good.  But when I was watching the Costa Rica game, wow we looked horrible.  Now the Confederations Cup is moving forward and here we are sitting at 0-2.  We lost to Italy 1-3 and of course Italy is the World Champions so at least we scored right?  But what’s this…..   Egypt beats Italy yesterday 1-0.. oh boy that makes us look really good.    Also yesterday we lost to Brazil 0-3.  So here we are sitting in Group B in last place with 0 points and a -5 goal differential.

Sunday we play against Egypt.  I really hope these guys are resting or doing whatever they need to do to hopefully win something in this cup.  Rest, take their top diet pills, swim, I don’t know.  But they better figure it out.  Or this will be an embarrassing Confederations cup and a more embarrassing World Cup next year.


The last team picture

Last weekend my soccer team went to Abilene for a soccer tournament.  This was the last time this team would be the same as we are moving to a younger division and saying goodbye to the older division, so we wanted to have a last fun time together.

We really didn’t do very well as far as scoring but 2 of the games we almost won and played good.  Overall this last year was slow going and now that we have a few players off of the team, we are going to change up some things and really get competitive this year.  The girls only have a couple weeks till tryouts and I hope we can pick up a few more players to round out the roster.

Tournament Time

We have been preparing for this weekend’s tournament.  We thought it would be fun to have a season ending tournament.  So we said what the heck and entered our team in.  Most tournaments we had played this past season, yielded a minimum of 3 games.  Usually one Friday night and 2 Saturday or 2 Saturday and 1 Sunday.  Well this one is slightly different.

We got our schedule a couple days ago and then they changed it yesterday so we now have 3 games on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.  Then if we are in the top 2 we play a fifth game Sunday afternoon.

Either way we finish up, we should all have fun this weekend.


It's Spring Time *Shoes*

In my quest for sandals, I’m still coming up short.  I just can’t believe how difficult it can be.  Well then again to be comfortable I really need size 14′s.  In my adventures I see tons of women’s shoes all over the place. Just wish I had more to choose from.

So now I think I’m going to order some sandals and hope they feel OK and fit or else I will just be back to the grind of sandal shopping.  Now on to soccer.  I just about worn out my indoor soccer shoes.  I pretty much wear them anywhere.  They are so comfy.  LOL.  But all good things come to an end right, so I guess I better order them too so when these wear out I can have some new ones sitting at home ready to go.


Glad the Weekend is here

Granted there is still 9 hours left in the work day, but hey, it’s Friday right?

I have a semi busy weekend planned out.  Although the rain and storms today and tonight might put some of those off.

If the rain calms down by 5ish we decided to head out to the horse races.  It will be the first live race for us this racing season.  We really enjoy going out there.

Saturday morning we will be having our last spring league soccer game (if the weather holds) and then hopefully that will be followed up by a 2-3 week break.  I think the team is burned out and they do not want to give it there all anymore.  In fact two days ago at practice it was a horrible turnout and most of them (90%) just wanted to be lazy and walk around.  If they were able to drive I would have just canceled practice since they were wasting my time.

Saturday Evening we are going out to dinner some friends from church.  It should be a lot of fun and to hang out with them.

Sunday morning is church and then in the evening community group so that will round out our weekend pretty much.

Any big plans?
What are you going to be doing?


So Busy…

For some reason, lately I have been super busy.  So busy in fact I haven’t even had time to write that much on my blog.  So that is something I have to change in the near future.  I even think I’m closing in on a full year of active blogging on this site.  Must be some type of miracle.

Lately I have been working on some web sites and a friends network for his company, not to mention all the soccer that goes on.  Oh and cleaning house more like a spring cleaning.  I’m sure the garbage service hasn’t been happy with us, lol  but we have cleared out some space.

Almost have the room ready for our adopted to be child.  We are approved, etc.  Just waiting for God to present the child he wants for us.  But the room is almost ready.  My In-laws are going to make it down for Easter this weekend.  They haven’t been down in quite some time so it’s nice to see them making the trip.  They should be here tomorrow night.  And so it goes, yes my endless nonsense that no will read this entire post anyways.  So I will leave it with that.
