I just have to mention how much I love the Olympics! I have always looked forward to the Olympics every few years. I love the winter Olympics (especially since they were in Utah and since I got to go to a couple of events) but I really really love the summer Olympics. Shawn and I stayed up half the night watching the amazing Opening Ceremony and now we both look forward to wasting away most of our evenings rooting on the Americans in swimming, basketball, gymnastics, and beach volleyball (some of our favorites). I get my Olympic updates on my computers at work and then watch the "while you were sleeping" updates while I am working out at the gym, then I will call my mom and we discuss the different events and cool stories we get to hear about each night. Like this morning my mom and I were discussing how the American Women's gymnastics team fell apart in their last two events...I was sad. I was rooting hard for the Americans to overcome the Chinese.
These dang Chinese are good at gymnastics and diving and it is causing me to hold a little bit of prejudice against them, because I hate them beating the Americans ...I know thats not very Christ like or good of me (and it is the opposite of the whole point of the Olympics; which is to unite the whole world together) but I am sure I will get over it when the Olympics are over. Until then I am loving the fact that I am wasting so much time watching and keeping up with the Olympics. GO USA!!!

Carissa- We have had a fun time with the Olympics also. Jared has really liked the gymnastics. For some reason he thinks he need to laugh at anyone falling off something or spinning at mind blowing speeds. I also wanted to let you know I started a blog. It is foreverfamilynelson.blogspot.com. I will not be as good as you but I will try to be good about getting some fun pictures of Rodney for you guys. Hope all is well. See ya soon.
Carissa--I'm sorry I didn't call! We were there for only about 24 hours and family stuff ate up the majority of my time. I'll be sure to call next time we are in town (probably around christmas/new years).
