Well I haven’t been up to too much; this season’s schedule has been so crazy that I feel like we really haven’t had time to enjoy Chicago like we usually have during past seasons. If we aren’t at practice then we’re traveling to another city or playing a game.

Hold on a sec, I will say, it seems a few of my teammates have had some time to have a little fun and play Rock Band. Now I don’t know who is in charge of putting together these little “jam sessions” and I hope it’s not our captain Candice because I’m sure she would have invited me. Right Candice?!?! I’m just saying, I wanna jam out too guys!!! Can I get an invitation?!?! Geez!! What does a girl gotta do to get an invitation. Is there a secret handshake, a certain password? Come on guys, lemme play!!! I can even bring my own tambourine if you want me too...Anyways hopefully they read this.

So like I said, we’ve been on the road a bit, and you can check in on me and my other teammates through Ronnie’s new video blog. I had a quick cameo in the ATL blog. Also, since I’ve been back I did have time to throw a quick birthday party for my daughter Aalirah which was so much fun. I invited my team and was so happy they showed up. Unfortunately Aalirah isn’t with me anymore, she went back home to spend the summer with her grandma. I miss her so so SO much. I definitely love my job, not many people get to do what they love for a living and travel the world, but I also really love my daughter and miss her more than you can imagine. The good thing is that I will see her when we take our Texas road trip in a week and during our Olympic break.

Like I said this season has been really busy, but I have had a chance to catch a few movies. I saw the Hulk which was really good. Then I went to see Hancock with my teammates when we were in Atlanta over the Fourth of July weekend, and I loved it. It was really funny. I highly recommend checking out those two, my next movie will definitely be Batman, The Dark Knight.
