and i'm proud to be an american

Sickness has settled into the Jacobs’ home, Oliver officially caught his first cold and then lovingly passed it on to his mom and dad. No energy and a desire to stay in bed all day has led me to watch more Olympic coverage than I ever knew existed.
Watching all these uber-athletes has lit a fire in my own torch and inspired me to go after my own Olympic medal and now that I have watched almost every sport up to this point, I think I know how.


Step 1 : Find a sport. This is an easy answer…Curling. Who knew pregnant ladies could compete in the Olympics?! When I saw this lady, I knew my chances of making it into the Olympics were not completely unrealistic. I just need 3 more members for my team. Anyone want to join?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 2: Find a coach who knows what he is doing. If you didn’t hear, this coach sent the potential gold medalist into the wrong lane, disqualifying him. I can’t risk a stupid mistake like that happening to my curling team.



And when I do finally win my medal, the only bling you will see on me will be gold around my neck. Please leave the tiaras at home!
 
 
 
 
I think I'm all set, look for me in Sochi, Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics! Go USA!

start this about 2/3 of the way through, not sure if you've seen it. it reminded me of some dramatic Will Farrell movie, like Taladega Nights combined with his figure skating one.

Sorry you have been sick! Bummer. I loved the Olympic post. Oliver is such cutie. I can't stand it.
