Seahawks Ride or Die

I’m so proud of my Seahawks. I did have to allow time to grieve after the Super Bowl, but I still wanted to acknowledge how amazing is is to be a 12 and how grateful I am to have had such a great team representing my city. My family and I definitely bleed blue and…

World Cup Fever

Have you been watching the World Cup? Thanks to Univision I’ve been able to catch most of the day games while I’m at work, not to mention work on my Spanish at the same time. In semi-preparation, I made a trip to Jersey along with a couple if friends to see Greece play Bolivia in…

Seattle Sports Fix

Even on the other side of the country, I’m managing to get my Seattle sports fix. Last week I went to MSG to watch the Storm take on the Liberty, and last night I made the voyage to Yankee Stadium to see the M’s destroy the men in stripes. As much as I tried not…

Undefeated

I drafted this back in February, when I was desperately trying to postpone football withdrawal after the Seahawks unbelievable season. I’d forgotten about it until I saw Pete Carroll tweet today that he was going to co-host a webcast with Bill Courtney this Wed at 1pm PT and I thought, “Bill Courtney… I recognize that…

Super Bowl XLVIII Champions, Seattle Seahawks

I’m still amazed by by team’s flawless performance. Our 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos has finally, I think, given the Seahawks the recognition they deserve on the national stage. I won’t rehash what you’ve already heard on every news outlet, but will give you my version of history. The week leading up to the…

My Seahawks – NFC Champs

As my grandmother affectionately calls them, “My Seahawks” won the NFC Championship title in a tense, competitive game against the San Francisco 49ers – which means they are coming to my new city to play in this little game you may have heard of called the Super Bowl. I am beyond excited and beyond disappointed…

Never Too Late…

…to figure out how to properly execute moves in this game called basketball that I’ve been playing for the last nine years. So I signed up for a class that will basically be like playing for a real team – except there’s only one practice per week instead of five, no additional strength training, and…

A Rant: Sportsmanship is Not Overrated

Now that I’m living away from home I find myself on facebook a lot more in an effort to keep up with everyone’s lives since I don’t have time to talk to everyone – this three hour difference sure does put a cramp on coast-to-coast socializing. It has been great because I miss my friends…

Wild & Wooly West Virginia

Officially it’s “Wild & Wonderful West Virginia” but we were welcomed to “Wild & Wooly West Virginia” by the wrestling coach and I like that one better so that’s what I’m going with. Last month Mom and I made the trip to West V to check out Munchkin’s new home-away-from-home and catch a few of…

Champs!

Whoa, am I overdue on this one. But at least it’s good news… Four years in the making, Rugrat’s team finally won the district championship! It was definitely a good day, especially since we beat the team that has always knocked us out in the past. A couple of weeks later they followed up with…
