Sounders + Sun + Steph = Fun.

I've been to a Sounders game a time or two, but this this weekend was one of my faves. The sun was shining, the company was fantastic and the cute little family in front of us were pretty entertaining.

Steph and I are completely on the same page when it comes to soccer enthusiasm and knowledge. Sure, we support and get excited for our hometown team, but a loss won't make us lose any sleep. And when it comes to understanding all of the technicalities of the sport, let me just say that there were more than a couple times that we were clueless as to what just happened. But luckily we were sitting in the die-hard section, so we just followed their queues-- cheering and raising our scarves, or yelling something along the lines of, 'are you kidding me, ref?!'

In the end, the Sounders won so everyone left happy. We left especially happy because we decided that our next stop would be Nordstrom. Perfect post-game activity, don't you think? Thanks for bringing me to the game, Stephers!

Look, it's my people :)

danananananana HEY!

Go Sounders!

GMMB par-tayed at the Sounders game last night.

It was fun. A little wet and cold, but fun.

Andy decided that a head scarf would look more attractive than the small, small bandaid that is on his forehead. I'm sure he's regretting that now :)

Sounders 'Til I Die (or maybe not, I'm not bleeding green quite yet)

It was a sea of green and blue at Qwest Field this Saturday! In all my experiences at sporting events – Mariners, Sonics, Seahawks, Huskies, even good ol’ BEHS – I’ve never seen so much team spirit! I felt like the only person in the stadium that didn’t have Sounders gear and I almost felt pressured to buy a t-shirt (but then my cousin informed me that they are like $5 at QFC with a $20 purchase – score!).

Anyway, it was super fun and our seats were awesome! Right by the entrance of where the players come in and leave, so I got to see them all up close and personal. So naturally, I have to decide which player I should be dating. While originally I was thinking Nate Jaqua because he scored the only goal and is quite a looker, I have changed my decision to Kevin Forrest because not only is he attractive, he also is from the great state of Washington, is about my age and played for UW. (Or you can decide on an option for me here.) Man, how creepy would it be if he saw this post? Kevin, if you’re reading this, please know that I am perfectly sane, have a job, would support your soccer career and am really fun. My number is: 555-1234. Talk to you soon.

Here’s one of the super creative chants from the game:
I'm Sounders 'til I die
I'm Sounders 'til I die
I know I am, I'm sure I am
I'm Sounders 'til I die

And here’s Lynnette and me, as well as a view of the game from our seats.
