My First World Cup Game!

Here are some pictures from my first World Cup game - Argentina vs. Korea at Soccer City in Joburg!

I didnt get pictures from the USA vs. Algeria game but it was a crap game until the very end when Lando scored and I have pics from the USA vs. Ghana game and Spain vs. Paraguay game coming!

Habitat Build

The new people in the office were lucky enough to get a day off (hehe) to go build a house! Well some of a house. I wasn't too happy about getting dirty but I did not show it because I was really excited to see Habitat work on a grassroots level. So I mixed cement with dirt (but got my shovel taken away, apparently I didnt have the right form), carried plywood with my BARE hands (on my shoulder-felt pretty legit), painted oil on things to protect from water damage and mostly, I played with the neighborhood kids. Here are some pictures from the day- Oh, I also got into my first car accident in SA, just a fender bender from a lady with no insurance, id, passport- just another story for you folks!

















So this is just a small glimpse at the work Habitat is doing in Africa. We also renovate houses, give loans so families can build incrementally, build houses for free for Orphans and Vulnerable Children and give community education classes. If you get a free minute, check out the website www.habitat.org/ame (PSA over!)

I scored some tickets to Argentina vs. Korea tomorrow at Soccer City so stay tuned for those sweet pictures!

USA vs. Australia

Last Saturday I attended the USA vs. Australia friendly and it was AMAZING. Thanks to my pop's friend, this girl had first row seats and saw the husband UP CLOSE! Security was INSANE though and they weren't allowed near the fans..don't think I didn't think about jumping that fence..all's fair in love and war. Oh, and David Beckham was there. nbd.

Heyyy Husband (that doesn't know it yet)


Check out the assets! hehe





So excited!


A little Tim Howard action


Clint Dempsey- who I learned by watching this game has a very short temper..and I like it!


Landon love for Em


DAVID!




And that is just a practice game, think how awesome it will be/how jealous you will be when I am at the actual game! How fun. For me that is :)

Tomorrow, Habitat is taking all the new people on a build around Joburg. Which means I will be getting down and dirty (PPL)! Pictures to come!

***Note: I know that I look SUPER stalker-like with these pictures but it's all in good fun. If Carlos and/or anyone that knows him is reading, know that I ain't a crazy. Unless he wants to get hitched, in that case lez do dis. ***
