michael phelps makes me want to race.

well, this week hasn't been too exciting. (compared to my entire summer!)

i went to family home evening, the gym, pretty much the usual.

i also went to see the sisterhood of the traveling pants with my mom on wednesday night. it was really fun, and a super cute movie. however, i must say that i did NOT like the hyena sitting next to us. i mean, seriously... every time ANYTHING would happen that could be TwIsTeD into something funny, she would HOWL! it was awkward, and everyone would turn around and stare!

here's to you, ms. i-howl-like-a-hyena-in-the-theaters (wo)man.

i also got jamba juice with mallory on friday! that was fun, and we got all caught up on everything that has been happening in the past year. it's crazy how time flies.

i also have been watching the olympics (hence my title). might i say, i love michael phelps. i mean really, he is amazing. i haven't competitively swam in a little over a year now... and i haven't missed it as much as i do now. of course i have missed it here and there, but now i want to jump in the pool and swim for hours... with my fins. =) as soon as i get to provo i will... 

BACK TO THE OLYMPICS! so. i watched the opening ceremonies. i don't think there is a word to describe them. it was seriously AMAZING! they used people for every part of it. and the way they lit the torch was amazing, too! my favorite thing, obviously, is swimming. i love watching it because i get so involved... it reminds me of when bethany watches march madness. haha. i watched michael phelps get his first and second gold medal for this olympics. his second race was amazing though. it was the 4 x 100 free relay. the french had been talking trash about how they were going to "smash" the americans... and in the last few meters, the americans completely pulled through and BARELY out-touched the french. it was awesome! 

i just have 2 more weeks until i go back to school... and i am so so excited! 

con amor,
