What I’ve Been Up To
Hello Everyone! Lets just say I AM enjoying my time off but I’m definitely starting to feel rather lazy. Miraculously, I have kept pretty busy, playing tennis, taking spinning and pilates classes, went to Six Flags and on a haunted hay-ride and have been watching a ton of movies but its a lot of sitting around. Believe me though, for the first time in my life, I needed a break mentally and physically. Its been about 2 weeks now and I have another week to enjoy.
Tomorrow I head back to Hermosa Beach to pack up my stuff and say Ciao to the West Coast for now. I have made a lot of great friends and will be especially sad to say bye to my roommate, Jenny Benson, who I played with on the Philadelphia Charge. We have a busy weekend ahead of us though. Friday night the kickball team is throwing me a going away party. Saturday packing and moving my stuff. Sunday I hop back on a plane to head to Under Armour’s headquarters in Baltimore. We will be shooting another holiday spot for two days with Dick’s Sporting Goods so that should be fun. Then I get to enjoy the Eagles bye week with a trip to Connecticut and onto New York City.
The following week its back to soccer and cramming for the next set of games.
I need to make sure I can go a full 90 when we play in my hometown on Nov 5th! Yikes. I haven’t been home since the Olympics so I am really looking forward to this. Going to the Nati!
Tour info is below. Talk soon.

The tour, which is taking the Olympic champions across the USA to celebrate its historic run to the top of the podium in Beijing, will resume on Nov. 1 at the University of Richmond Stadium in Richmond, Va. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. ET. The game will be a homecoming for Virginia native and University of Virginia alumna Angela Hucles, who led the team in scoring during the Olympics with four goals.
The USA will travel from Virginia to Cincinnati, hometown of U.S. defender Heather Mitts, for a match on Nov. 5 at Paul Brown Stadium. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET. Mitts, who has 91 caps for the USA, will play for the USA in her hometown for the second time as the USA passed through Cincinnati on the 2004 Victory Tour to celebrate the gold medal in Athens, Greece.
The three-game set against the Koreans will conclude on Nov. 8 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., with a kickoff at 7 p.m. ET. It will mark the first visit to Florida by the U.S. Women in more than eight years.
