Happy 29th Birthday Tyler!!
On June 29, 1980, I landed myself a new baby brother! Tyler Robert Nelson made his entrance into the world. Little did I know that he’d not only be my brother, but my roommate, partner in crime, travel companion and friend. Happy 29th birthday to my big “little” brother! Thanks for the good times and the memories! My life would be very different without you in it!

Utah Summer Games 2009
This was such a fun tournament and a perfect way to end the last tournament with my U11s. I will miss them so much!!!! We took 2nd place...lost in double overtime. The girls played awesome. You can click on the pictures below to view all of them in a bigger size...

Housing....Speeding Tickets....and DAVID ARCHULETA!
HOUSING
I went up to Logan on Saturday and found a place to live! I'll be living with a girl who teaches orchestra at Logan High School! She used to teach at Lehi High School, so it was fun to talk about her time down in my neck of the woods. She plays the piano and the violin. She plays violin in the orchestra on Temple Square down in Salt Lake as well...so yes...there is a piano in the house! She is my age and seems pretty down to earth. Another girl might move in with us, she is still deciding. The house is in a really nice neighborhood and it has a huge backyard with three fruit trees, a garden and a lot of grass to relax on!

SPEED DEMON!
I got my third....yes....my third speeding ticket in a year. I didn't go to traffic school for the first, went for the second with the condition that if I didn't get another moving violation within a year that 50 points would be removed from my record...and then, on my way to the RSL game, I was pulled over and was written up for 35 in a 30...I was going a little faster than that...but seriously, give me a freakin' warning if you are only going to write me up for 5 over! I'm not even going to bother going to court since they won't let me take traffic school and I already know that if I get one more ticket, I'm done. So...I will just have to pay better attention and make sure I pay better attention to my speed!

DAVID ARCHULETA
O.k. So the kid is 17...but he can sing to me ANYTIME! I went to the Real Salt Lake game Saturday night...Real tied 1-1. Then David Archuleta sang a brief concert afterwards for a charity event that was taking place throughout the game! It was a lot of fun!
One of my U11 players and her sister made a sign for their brother to hold up...it says: "I came to see soccer, not to see this" with an arrow pointing at a picture of David Archuleta.
I wish I could say I sat this close...but really...
...I was only this close. :(
