OOOlympics!

And a little of "Katie's Commentary" along with the Olympics. For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge fan of the Olympics. It used to be my dream in life to go as a gymnast ... now the dream is just to go - Chicago 2016 anyone? But really, I would love to attend an Olympic Games and so I've been thoroughly enjoying this 2008 experience. While Kody has been out of town for most of the Games, I've gotten to spend my lonely evenings in front of the television at my homegroup/Bible study leaders' house (We don't have cable). They've said I need to just show up anytime, shouldn't call ahead or knock and just come in. I'm still a little wary of that, but I think I might try it tonight when I go over to watch the Beam finals! Go Shawn! However, I already know the results, thanks to the Internet.





I missed the team prelims (flying home from Omaha) and the team finals (Kody arrived back from Tennesse), but my homegroup leaders taped them both for me. So last Thursday Kod and I enjoyed five hours of gymnastics while we watched Nastia dominate the All-Around finals. Kod was awesome for putting up with me and I think secretly he enjoyed watching the gymnastics. I'm a huge fan of Nastia and was so glad when she won the AA because everyone was counting her out, like she had no chance over Shawn Johnson. Overall I've been a little disappointed in some of the scoring/judging (vault finals with Alicia Sacramone), but Nastia and Shawn have done awesome!

Anyways, I've been keeping very busy in front of the TV while Kody has been gone, and my mom and I have enjoyed keeping tabs on the results together.
