The Giddiness that will NEVER End!


I CONFESS……

I may never come back down to earth again.

BECAUSE I FREAKING MET

Chris Wingert !!!

That's right people. I met him. For real.

If you know me, you have probably heard of my love and undying devotion. To the point of wanting to choke me, because you're so sick of it. Sorry.

The team flew back from Mexico last night. They were returning from the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Finals. It's sort of a big deal. Like REALLY a big deal. The first team in Major League Soccer to go this far. Ever. Making a huge name for ReAL Salt Lake, as well as representing the entire League of US Soccer.

At the last minute we (and by "we" I mean "me") decided we should go over to the charter air strip and join other fans in welcoming the boys back home. Had NO idea that we would actually get to mingle with them. And take pictures, and just basically be in soccer heaven for a short time.

I CONFESS:

I would normally never, EVER post the following pictures because of my freaking fat face, and wind-blown (and not in the sexy way) hair. I am very particular about the pics I post. I know it's silly, but it's just a thing I have. But I am so excited to share my giddiness with you, that I'm just gonna pretend y'all won't notice the extra chin(s), and overall unflattering appearance of my face. And hair. And body. Just play along...kkthanks.

Here he is autographing me (sigh).

He's cute, no?

Had to get a pic with team captain Kyle Beckerman just to make Tanielle mad. Just kidding. I wanted to meet him too. And he was SO friendly.

Don't worry, I made sure my kids weren't left out of the fun.


Here's me giving Leo some sugar. He is the BEST mascot. Love Leo.


Fabian Espindola is a freaking soccer ROCKSTAR. The girls were excited to meet him.


And Hubby snapped this picture of Nick Rimando and his adorable little girl. I am not exaggerating when I say Nick is THE best goal-keeper in the country. Just sayin'.


I confess that even though I'm super excited to share, in looking back at my pictures...I'm not sure I want to hit publish. But I am trying to move past my insecurities about posting photos of myself on my blog. So I'm going to do it.

i agree with Shawn...i wish all of my friends would stop speaking so unkindly about themselves.

this may call for some kind of "Love Yourself" intervention.
You should definitely hit Publish. :) You look great, and so excited. I'd be excited too, b/c he is Hott! ;)
Amber said…
I'm glad you hit publish because you're excitement just radiated from your words, thus making me smile while reading.

The team must've been so thrilled to have so many supporters waiting for them!

Looks like a cool evening for everyone.

PS Love the name of the mascot! I have a Leo at home, and he's just as LOUD as a lion. LOL!

That is SO COOL, Xazmin!!! I'm sure this is the equivelent of me meeting Rob in person...and having him sign my br...er, unde...er, Twilight shirt. achem.

He is super cute!! I'm glad you got to meet him (and the others) in person!!!
Alicia said…
SO COOL!!! =) What's your next big dream now that you've met Chris?!
Sami said…
I'm not going to tell you to shut up, because I already did via text last night. I think you look adorable!
So does he.
I think you make him look good, though.
Without you there, he'd be like a 9, tops. :-)
Sami said…
I meant that in a good way. Like you made him glow because he was happy to meet you too...
When I reread it, it sounded like an insult.
Because I suck.
You're beautiful, woman!

First of all, you look beautiful. You need to quit talking trash about yourself. (Go visit www.operationbeautiful.com and change those thoughts.)

Second, how exciting! And yes, Chris is very cute.

Have a fabulous weekend!

How exciting to meet someone famous that you admire! I confess...that I have no idea who that is, but from the pictures I assumed he's a soccer player. Ha. What is this sports you speak of? ;-)
shortmama said…
Ok I could care less about soccer (sorry!) BUT I am super excited for you! How awesome!!
Emmy said…
How awesome is that! So happy you got to meet your boyfriend ;)

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t
