Inspiration
I am very excited that the winter Olympics are starting this Friday. For some reason I just love to watch the Olympics. The people truly inspire me and I just cannot get enough of all the sports. This year I am looking forward to watching my favorite male snowboarder compete, Shaun White. He won the gold in 2006 and I am hoping he repeats it again. He is an amazing athlete and if you have never seen him before I highly recommend checking him out. Well recently there has been lots of news coverage on Shaun White since the Olympics are about to start. Something new I learned about him that just caught me off guard was that before he was one years old he had two open heart surgeries to fix a heart defect called Tetrology of Fallot. This is the same type of heart defect that Emma had fixed. It is amazing to see what one can achieve even if they have a tough start. Thanks Shaun White for providing inspiration to my life and hopefully one day to my little super girl. She could very well be an Olympian one day or whatever she wants to be.
