It never occured to me...

I was watching yet another World Cup game - the USA vs Czech, to be exact, when it hit me... During Bosnias quest to qualify for the World Cup, I promised myself if we made it, I was going to go to Germany to watch Bosnia play. Never once did it occur to me that I could go to the World Cup and watch America play... It just struck me funny as I was watching the US play (and not play very well, mind you), that I was watching it on TV, but that I would have done anything and everything in my power to make sure I was in Germany to watch Bosnia play. And don't get e started about Bosnia not being there... we should have made it but Spain apparently pays off it's referees - who ever heard of 7 minutes of injury time?? And technically, they got more than 7 minutes since the ref waited till almost 8 minutes to blow the end of game whistle... right after Spain scored... yeah, we weren't robbed... Needless to say, I will not ever cheer for Spain - Un Bloody Mary, Por Favor... Uugh...

But the Polish play Germany tonight... My people better make me proud. Croatia lost to Brazil last night, but they only lost by one goal - not bad... The Croatian fans did make us proud as in true Balkan style managed to sneak flares into the stadium, and get a fan through all the security to run onto the field... I love soccer in the Balkans...

It's still rainy and stormy and cold and gross here... June 14 and I'm in a sweatshirt... sigh

Nela is doing quite well. She is moved back into her apartment. It looks very nice. I'm still trying to gather stuff for her. She borrowed a John Grisham book that I have in Croatian - A Time to Kill. She loves it. She cracks me up. She brings me great joy as I see her spiritual growth. Her desire to learn about God is encouraging and brings me much hope. We are going to do the bible study "Experiencing God" together. We have it in Bosnian, and i'm waiting for my English copy to arrive. Everyday she calls me - "Did your mom mail you the book?? Is it hear yet? Go to the post office and see!" She drives me crazy, but it's the good kind of making me crazy :) I love her to death, and I'm so glad she's in my life.

Ok, well it's thundering, so I should go before my computer explodes or something... Much love...
