One down.....

Hello! Wow Andrea is VERY on top of posting to the blog, I'm going to get shown up here a little (and she's so flattering it's ridiculous)..... anyway, I'm so glad so many people are watching the games I have had an overwhelming number of facebook posts and such, it's awesome! I don't want to spoil the fun (Claire) but we did end up beating China..... it ended up being a very close game and if you get the chance to watch it (online maybe?) it was exciting.... if not don't worry we have another game tomorrow against Italy. Last night was a great atmosphere for our first game here at the Olympics! We were very impressed with the Chinese.... when we were here in March to play in the test tournament, the stands were full, but practically quiet. Since then they have apparently taken classes and learned how to cheer because it was LOUD!! I was most impressed by our fans however because they were able to hold there own up there battling the large number of screaming Chinese! I definitely heard U-S-A come through! Yeah, so the team was happy with the win, we are back to work today fixing some things that we can do better for the next game and just getting ready for the Italians! Thanks for all the support, I feel very loved. (oh and if you want to check this out, they had an article in the Ann Arbor news a few days ago that was really nice! http://www.mlive.com/sports/annarbornews/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/121835043487540.xml&coll=2 )
