Jacob and I today hung out with the Olympians at Eugene'08. It was so much fun and a great experience. The police set up at autzen was crazy (where you catch the buses). Also at the gates they had home land security check.

In case some of you haven't heard, something pretty exciting happened in the Men's 400. All three finalists headed to Beijing are Oregonians. One from Eugene ( Andrew Wheating), one from Salem (Christian Smith) and who knows where the other is from (Nick Symmonds). It was pretty amazing race and has got the spirits up of the fans here.

This picture has a funny story. At the Johnson and Johnson booth, they begged Jacob and I to "take a picture with the Olympians". They said it looks so real. I don't know if you see what I see, but they look really shiny and not so real. Anyway, this picture makes me laugh. Oh ya! I got my hair cut.

How fun you got to experience this. So cool for our little city.
It was so great seeing you today at the "race". (I think it's funny to call it a race since I wasn't racing anyone...) Can't wait to see the photos you took. I only took ONE!! I'll steal my friends'.
Hugs!!
How fun to go do something so fun in Eugene!!
