If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you my three favorite things in life are sports, the UK, and things that happen every four years. Well, what do you know?!? The OLYMPICS are coming!!
We’re 10 days away from the event four years in the making, and I cannot let this gathering of nations pass without celebrating in some way.
The pageantry! The sportsmanship! The possible Kate Middleton sightings! I’m too excited to sleep!

Clearly Denny Carroll did a terrible job, because just a short time later, Jeanie and Kelly came home with the most adorable black lab puppy you have ever seen.
