Girl & soccer weekend

Josh and Kieran were on a Scout Camp this weekend and left Mary Sue and me to have a couple of days by ourselves to spend time with one of our biggest interests in common – soccer. It was intensively filled with our own soccer games, practices and a MSL game Saturday night. After my practice Friday afternoon, which by the may wasn’t very hard because our coach didn’t want us to be too tired, considering the majority of us would have two games the following days, Mary Sue and I went to Border Grill in Santa Monica and had dinner. It was the first time I was there since three years ago when we visited Fabian here in LA. We brought the desserts home to watch a movie, but it didn’t take long until I fell asleep.

Anyway, my team won the both games this weekend, the one on Saturday with 4-0 (and believe it or not, but I scored all of the goals!) and the one on Sunday with 4-1 (I made a hat trick). Mary Sue also played a game on Sunday, but unfortunately the score doesn’t always reflect the game…

Saturday night, Mary Sue, her dear friend Theresa and I went to see Chivas USA vs. Kansas City Wizards. I was really looking forward to it and it was my first time watching a MSL game, next time it’ll be Colorado Rapids vs. LA Galaxy. However, MS had made a reservation in the restaurant, so we watched the first half while eating a gorgeous buffet. During the second half we had a couple of very nice seats that she had got from her friend Martin, that couldn’t use his season tickets for some reason. So: Thank You Martin!

After my game on Saturday Mary Sue and I also visited the “Hammer” museum and went to an exhibition about John Lautner, an architect with a lot of impressing ideas and buildings.

All this happened during the weekend, so no surprise is that we were all tired early Sunday night. After a bowl of ice cream at about 8.00 pm we fell asleep quite soon. All together, it was a nice but exhausting weekend, with very little time over for feeling homesick! ;)
