MLS to Portland 2011

What an exciting day for Portland soccer fans! Yesterday (Friday), the commissioner of Major League Soccer announced that Portland has been awarded a franchise that will start play in 2011.

As season ticket holders to the Timbers, this is awesome news that we have been looking forward to for over a year!

It's a girl!

We had our ultrasound on Tuesday and we found out that it's a girl. Since both Brook and I were convinced that it was going to be a boy, we now have to go back to the drawing board, and start fresh with names. Of course, we could just follow suit with our dog...we had planned on getting a male dog and came up with the name "Kenji." However, the litter was 100% female and we kept the name. She doesn't seem to have too much of an identity crisis...so maybe our daughter could handle it as well.

Of course when it comes to names, I might should just stay out of it. I'm not sure, but I think I might be responsible for naming my parents cat (Spanky) and our cat is named Tigra.

In all seriousness though, Brook and I are both super excited to be having a daughter. I am already plotting ways to scare off future boyfriends and Brook is already figuring out how to avoid accumulating too much pink.

Everything appears to be good in terms of health. We are just over 20 weeks into this thing. Brook is starting to feel a lot better. August 3rd will be here before we know it.
