congratulations, shawn

Congratulations to Shawn Johnson for winning gold on the balance beam. While she may not be as graceful on the beam as Nastia, her routine was rock solid and athletic. Truth be told, I was getting sick of Nastia winning everything, anyway. Shawn deserved her chance to shine, and yesterday’s event final was it.

Shawn, you’ve done Hy-Vee proud.

And now that swimming and gymnastics are over, I can finally start getting to bed earlier.
