Hello everyone. So today, I uploaded pictures of an event I went to in San Francisco. You see, I went to a beach volleyball tournament. Now I know I'm sure only like two of you even care. But whatever. :P I'm posting this dammit because it was probably one of the most inspirational days ever for me.
I got to watch Kerri Walsh and Misty May. :D Now for those of you who don't know, they are amongst my favorite athletes and they are my favorite female athletes. So it was quite a treat for me to watch them. Kerri Walsh was the first volleyball player I really liked. I watched her when she played in college. And I adopted her college number as my favorite number as well (Number 9). Now it's ten years later and she has made quite a name for herself along with her partner Misty May. Two gold medals. Both have over 100 career victories.
So, after their semifinal match, May and Walsh were signing autographs. So I rushed to the line. Kerri Walsh came out of the stadium and people started following her somewhere else. So I rushed passed a bunch of people because I wanted my damn autograph. :P I think I ended up cutting in front of people, but whatever. :P Anyway, I went up and got a volleyball signed by Kerri Walsh. And I told her "Good luck with the baby thing. You're going to be a great mom." And she says to me "Thanks. I hope so." Haha. She and Misty May were saying they want babies which is why I said that.
For those of you who don't know these ladies, I think it's fair to say they are some of the nicest people and they are professionals on and off the court. They are great role models for kids as well. :D So, after saying bye to Kerri Walsh I went over to Misty May's line. I waited there for about 10 minutes and managed to get her autograph as well. :D I told her that they played a great match and good luck becoming a mom. She thanked me and I thanked her.
And those were the autographs. The Men's Final was next. It was a good match. Three sets. Then the women's final was last. May and Walsh played Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh. In the end, they triumphed. Then came the victory. I was happy the crowd was happy. There was just a lot of spirit I guess. I loved every minute of it. And by the end of the day, I just felt really inspired. Kerri Walsh appropriately nicknamed "Six Feet of Sunshine" will always be my favorite. And I am glad to have her autograph as well as Misty May's. They're great great people. :wink:
