OBSESSED

I am obsessed with the OLYMPICS.  I love love love love them.  My memories spread throughout my childhood of the whole family gathering in the living room to watch the Opening Ceremonies. Throughout the years it was our family tradition.  


I have such an appreciation for the athletics and their dedication to their sports.  I mean, it is not like everyone has the genetic makeup to be a great athlete.  I clearly do not - however growing up I dreamed that I would be apart of the Equestrian Team.  That obviously did not happen.


There is something about the feeling one gets with the Olympics.   Olympic Creed:"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well." 


Goosebumps. 


My top favorite Olympic Sports Favorites: 
1.) Equestrian - Clearly 
2.) Gymnastics - I'm so intrigued by these 4'11" people.  I failed as a child gymnast, I think it has something to do with coordination and side of I've always taken after the Jolly Green Giant in the height department. 
3.) Swimming - Michael Phelps need I say more? 
4.) Diving - You are going to jump off of that and do flippy things in the air?  I salute you and your nonexistent fear of belly flopping into a pool of water.
