Some People Wait A Lifetime for a Moment Like This...

First, let me apologize for the delay in this posting;  I know many were disappointed.  But frankly, when something this major happens it's best to collect one's thoughts before commenting.  No, I did not find a husband or a new job (I obviously would have at least updated my FB status for such a major event).  The moment I have have been working towards for five long but satisfying years finally happened: A Career Grandslam. For my Rafa of course.  My Rafa, fresh off of wins at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, dispensed with opponenents from near and far as he steamrolled his way to victory at the US Open.  All while dropping only a single set. 

The whole tournament was amazing and I even got to go see a match.  That handsome gigante, John Isner.  He didn't win but watching in person was super fun and yelling "COME ON, JOHNNY" is really satisfying.

And although I did not get to see my Rafa in person following him through the Open was thrilling.  He looked downright princely in his evening attire of jet black and neon green with a sporty new short hair cut to match.  His play was mesmerizing and the win well deserved.  It's so gratifying to know that my yells of "VAMOS HONEY" and the lengths I go to watch all of the matches despite not having a TV are worth it.

You're welcome:
