What the Beck(ham)?!?!

Alright, I will admit it.  I am slightly obsessed with David Beckham.  Do I sigh or let out a slight "Mmmm" every time I see his picture in People magazine?  Yes. :) Do I gently caress my finger down his abs in the magazine page when there is a picture of him shirtless?  Sometimes - but only to annoy Justin :).  But, that is where my obssession stops.  I don't know every single detail about his life; I don't have any posters of him; I don't buy things specifically with him on it or anything (I already have a subscription to People).  I'm not that pathetic :)  

This weekend, Justin and I had the opportunity to go see the LA Galaxy (Beckham's team) play the Columbus Crew, and it was awesome!!  Tickets were pretty difficult to get, unless you wanted to scalp or buy like a three game package.  But, my Uncle Michael had a hookup and was able to get us tickets for just that game (Thanks, Uncle Michael!!).  We went in thinking we weren't going to have very good seats, but, we sat in the THIRD row, BEHIND THE GALAXY BENCH.  David Beckham didn't even come close to the bench, but that's okay, because we got to see a lot of him anyway.  The first half he was on the other side of the field, but throughout the second half, he was really close to us, and I was in heaven! :)  

Our camera totally sucked.  Which I was pissed about, until Justin finally admitted he thought we were ready for a new camera, too.  Our camera has served us well, but we've had it for almost four years, and I want a really nice one for when Little buddy comes.  I think he finally realized our camera needed to be laid to rest when our cell phones took better pictures than our actual camera.  Needless to say, here are some of the pictures we were able to get - the subject matter still looks good :)




The highlight of the game for me was about midway through the first half when Beckham reaches up through the bottom of his shorts to pick a wedge - with his butt facing our side.  I think I saw almost half his left butt cheek.  It was a miracle!!!  :)

Justin and I actually both really enjoyed the game.  It was amazing watching Landon Donovan play (he was freaking awesome) and it was fun seeing some fellow former Hoosiers on the field!  It was also fun, because Little buddy seemed to enjoy the game as well :)  He was a lot more active than usual.  Maybe he could sense the excitement of the stadium or something.  This weekend we are going to Bloomington to watch IU play Iowa - it will be interesting to see if he gets excited there too! :)
