GO Mommy GO!!!

Making my 3rd Olympic Team today was more exciting than ever. I had my number ONE fan cheering me on today, as you can see in the picture. I am truly enjoying motherhood and feel very blessed to have great support from family and friends. After giving birth last year to my son, I wasn’t sure if a comeback was possible. But with all of you believing in me, it gave me the will power to try. I was super excited after finishing in 1st place today, but I was even more excited when taking the victory lap and getting High 5’s and Hugs from everyone. It was great knowing everyone was cheering me on.
I told the media today that this possible because of the strong team of family and friends I have behind me. So let’s keep the momentum going and start preparing for Beijing. Visit this website for the track and field Olympic Schedule, http://www.usatf.org/events/2008/OlympicGames/schedule.asp
Aretha–You go girl!!! How awesome is that? Kenny, Chesney and I are so proud of you, as will be your entire fan club around Knoxville and Maryville, TN. We love you and are praying for you and your family. Congratulations!!!
Aretha, congratulations! Saw a great write-up about you winning the OT in the Seattle paper this morning. Happy to see you make another Olympic team. Best of luck in Beijing.
