Warming up for the first game of the season against the Atlanta Silverbacks! It feels good to be Number 5 again!
Our first game has come and gone...it was awesome! I have been playing on the Hellenic W league team and our first game was against Atlanta this past weekend. Mom, Dad, and my fiance were there to watch me play. Chrissy even came too! It was such a great weekend. I am currently playing and starting at center back. It is a big change from outside back but I am getting used to it and am actually really enjoying it! It is only the first game of the season so I know I still need to keep training as hard as I can to start and play in the next upcoming games!
The final score ended up being 2 to 0 but we only got to play 55 minutes! A few days before the game the Silverbacks Stadium was robbed! I guess there is a huge payout for copper? (I am going somewhere with this story...don't worry) The lights were stripped of their copper lining which I guess is very important in the conducting of electricity (I'm totally just going with this, I really have no idea what I am talking about). Apparently a lot of stadiums have been burgled for the purpose of selling the copper. Anyways, to make a long story short, the lights kept going out! After half time, they would only stay on for about 5 minutes at a time. As you can imagine, this was very frustrating! Because we made it to half time, Atlanta ended up winning the game even though we did not play the full 90 min. Boo! I also got to spend a few moments getting caught up with Ronda Brooks and her mom!

Showing off my ring and fiance!
Mom and Dad celebrated their 28th Wedding Anniversary! They are such an inspiration!
Soon to be Stampers and Easons at Brunch Sunday morning!
Oh well, it was still so nice to see my parents and my fiance (still getting used to that word) in the stands cheering me on! After the game Mom, Dad, Brian, Chrissy her friend and I all went out to J. Alexander's for dinner. We had so much to celebrate and be thankful for! Mom and Dad were not only celebrating the engagement of their daughter but also their 28th wedding anniversary!
Up next...2 games this weekend against Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads. It is great to be playing again!

Congrats on the start! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteIt is weird to see you in #5, you are always number 4 in my heart. Crazy about the robbery! I love the picture of you and Brian at the top of your blog. His short hair is the way to go!! I think he should no longer be called Brian but just fiance! It just sounds so much prettier! I am so proud of you for starting. You deserve it! Love you
ReplyDeleteYou know I was just thinking, when you get married I can no longer call you Eason. How will I ever survive? I guess I can deal with Stamp daddy to the laddy for caddy, I don't know why I said all of that.
