Go for the Gold

Ever since Josh and I visited NYC and went to Rockefeller Plaza to watch the TODAY show I have been itching to go back.  I love the TODAY show.  It was on everyday in middle and high school when I came down for breakfast in the morning.  I enjoy watching the anchors that are not only good at their job, but have fun with it too!  I also love watching the Olympics.  I look forward to it every two years and getting the opportunity to see so many countries in one place.  It is the only time you feel a sense of world peace and get a tiny glimpse of heaven when it will be all nations under Christ.  Now put those two together- the TODAY show at the Olympics and I’m hooked.  It has been my motivation the past few mornings to work out because then I can watch the TODAY show in London covering the Olympics- sweetness. 

As I watched this morning, the top stories were the women’s gymnastics winning gold and Phelps getting his 19^th record-breaking medal.  Even though I am not an athletic person at all it is still an encouragement and a reminder that achieving your dreams is possible.  I know, I know sounds super cheesy- but its better than life passing you by and missing out on something great. 

This past weekend Josh and I attended the Bellevue Art Fair and we had no idea how big it was going to be.  We went because the Bellevue Art Museum was free but got blown away by the 300+ art vendors!  They filled numerous streets and parking lots in Bellevue Square and we saw so many wonderful pieces.  We were wishing we had the money to buy some paintings and pastels just so we could have the opportunity to look at them everyday.  Walking through and talking with some of the artists was also a huge encouragement and reminder to me that I can do this and should really start pursuing my art in a real way...
