I can't believe it's already August. Jeez. Where did the summer go? I guess it went to Europe with me. That month really took a chunk out of the summer. But seriously, summer has flown by and I am getting sad. Everyone will be going back to school soon and I will be alone. My social life resides in Logan, unfortunately without me. I guess I will have to make some new friends so I don't go crazy. Actually Heather finally got to stick around for a weekend. We hit up the pool again yesterday. That's always fun. We end up talking about the same things we always do but it's the best. Her season starts soon so that's exciting for her. I can't wait to watch them play. They are good-so I hear.
This picture is from July 24th AKA Pioneer Day. It's kind of a big deal in Utah. July 24th marks the celebration of the Mormon pioneers arriving in Salt Lake Valley. It's by far the biggest holiday in Utah, I'd say. Lots of picnics, fireworks and sales....very reminiscent of the Fourth of July. We got a big group together and went to Ogden for the big Pioneer Day festivities. Pretty fun.
This weekend was really low key. Saturday I went to watch a friend of mine play in a tennis tournament. He lost, but I was very impressed with him. He has only been playing a year and decided to enter with tournament. He did really well. Later, some friends and I made dinner and watched the MLS All-Star game against FC Chelsea from the European Soccer League. The MLSers pulled off the upset and beat Chelsea 1-0. The MLS is so fun to watch. I have been to a couple REAL Salt Lake games and they are fun. I wish America would get in to soccer more. Europe is nuts about it. I mean, it's life for them. It's such a huge part of their culture. Soccer in Europe can't really be compared to any sport in the U.S. EVERYONE is a soccer (futbol) fan. It's really cool. Anyways, America should get excited over our league. REAL Madrid, the European sister team to REAL Salt Lake, is coming over to play RSL. Madrid is good. David Beckham plays for Madrid. David Beckham will be in Salt Lake City in about 6 days. Rad. I really want to go, but the tickets are sold out and really expensive on EBay and stuff. Oh well. I am supposed to go home for my friend Tiffany's wedding next weekend anyways. I still need to get my ticket. I am looking forward to it. I'll get to see a lot of friends from high school I haven't seen in a while so that will be fun.
Well, I need to take a nap. That's what Sundays are for.
