At the beginning of the three weeks of the deaflympics, I vowed that I would never do this again...
I guess I put my foot in my mouth...
Because I SO would do this all over again. When it was all said and done, I never have fathom that:
:: I would come to love my teammates as much as I do.
:: the victory can be so sweet.
:: the experience will leaving me longing for more.
:: the tears, sweat and blood that were shed and spilled would make me a better person.
The deaflympics was, in a word,
SUBLIME.
Sweet, sweet victory.
The Gold Medal
We are the champions of the world!

Waving and thanking our fans in the crowd
During the national anthem before the final game
Receiving support from home
Carolyn (best friend from college) came and supported me at the finals.
There was nothing like seeing a familiar face in the midst of a crowd.
The next deaflympics is in Athens, Greece in 2013. Wanna join me on that adventure?
Once again, thank you all for your love and support!
My joy is the camaraderie that my team and I have developed during the three weeks of soccer heaven and hell.
