Devin's last football game was played at the high school stadium. It brought back all kinds of memories. I spent a lot of time at that stadium during my high school years. Marching Band was the absolute most fun I had in high school. Period. And being back there made me feel all warm and gushy inside. But it was so weird too...

Devin is in Jr. High. So there weren't too many people at the game. The stadium was emptier than I've ever seen it. I sat there, looking around. Remembering. Laughing silently as I hold my baby boy thinking, "Never in a million years would I have pictured myself sitting in these stands with my baby watching my big baby play on this field that I spend so much time on as a youngster." Hell, at that stage of my life (High School) I was never getting married. I most definitely wasn't going to have any children. "Oh. Hell. No! NO Kids!!" That is what I always said. And yet there I sat. With my Husband and my Son. I had goosebumps. My eyes teared up. I couldn't have felt more happy or proud. Even though my life has turned into the exact opposite of what I dreamed it would be, I am happy. And that is what matters most in life, yes?

This is Federer's 5th consecutive US Open win. His 13th Grand Slam Title. And he is the only man in history to win 2 different tournaments 5 times in a row! His straight set victory over Andy Murry will hopefully quiet all the nay-sayers. Federer in NOT finished. He hit a little bump in the road and now he's back!

Now that all is right in the (tennis) world and Rodger Federer has won a grand slam, I will do my best to focus my attention on more blog worthy subjects. But first, we celebrate!
