So on Wednesday night I went to the Germany/Ghana game. I was SOOO excited. Ever since I was little I was routing for Germany so when I got a ticket to watch them play I was sooo pumped! Not only was this my first ever international soccer game but it was at the biggest and bestest stadium that was built specially for this world cup - SOCCER CITY. As the saying for this world cup goes, it was truly AYOBA!! I loved everything about the evening. The trip to and from, the friends, the new people I met, the foreigners from far and wide, the amazing spirit and the wonderful facilities. I loved, loved, loved it!
The teams singing their national anthems
Mark, the English guy I buddied up with. He was supporting Ghana though so we had a few teasing and verbal sparring matches. He's a really nice guy and looked after me well. Sorry for you, Mark, Germany uber alles and now England has to try beat them in the next game to make it through.. *evil laugh*

The trip back via McDonalds. Nice going Hyrum. :)
So Germany won - go bois! and by the time we were on our way back it was my birthday. I was surprised with a birthday song and a sucker from the group with me in the car - so sweet (and in tune too). I had a great start to my birthday. Thank you everyone. It was wonderful!!!
