Soccer Parties

Just in case you are having soccer withdrawals let me post about a soccer party we had back in May when Inter de Milan played in the European Championship game (Fer correct me if I'm wrong) and WON! We had an Italian themed party since we were rooting for Inter.

We made Panini and Caprese Salad, had breadsticks and followed up the meal with Tiramisu sounds like fun huh.

.... And the Winner is....

32 TEams, 32 Stories - Can you believe it's over? A month of Soccer (almost everyday) a month of excitement a month of listening to the Vuvuzelas and now it's over. The only good part is that we won't hear those horns anymore but other than that I know there is some sadness in our household. Fer LOVES soccer and the world cup is IT for him, so now he'll have to return to regular soccer matches or re-watch the world cup games just a few more times. This world cup had some really exciting games and the part I like the best (about all these final games) is getting together with friends to watch the games it's always more exciting being surrounded by people who are just excited to see a team win as you are.


So that's it and Spain is the winner - Congrats to them and now we will return to our regularly programed lives. :)

TGIF: Vamos Brazil!

Today begins another weekend, should be a good one. We're kicking it off already at 10:00 am with the Brazil vs. Netherlands game!

Go Brazil!!!

And so it begins...

Are you ready for the World Cup 2010??? The Burton household is on cloud nine with all the soccer excitement going on, first game starts at 9:25am this morning.

This is one of the many stadiums (pictured before remodel) that will host the games in South Africa.

What's your predictions who will go home with this baby? The US??? That's who I'm rooting for. ;) Enjoy the games.

Where do we begin... where did I leave off (end of July in Review)

I started writing this post a few weeks ago but was not able to post pictures so I just saved it until I was back up and running with my home computer. The last week in July we were so busy preparing for our move to Atlanta and saying good-bye to all our friends, well not really good-bye more like so long for now. ...I couldn't say good-bye I couldn't stand the pain... where do we begin:

July 26th was my good friend Joanne's birthday, so we went over to her house for a birthday party which involved good friends, good food and a delicious birthday cake prepared by her husband and her daughter. Here's some pics from the big day:

Then on Sunday we had a Team Inter (de Miami) Soccer Farewell party and no better way to do that than have a soccer game with great friends. A lot of Fer's soccer buddies showed up for the event it was very nice of them to do so and meant a lot to him. He's spent 6 years with this soccer team and they are like family to us so it was nice to spend the day with them. (I unfortunately hardly took any photos that day, which means we'll just have to do it again sometime) But here are a few:

We will miss everyone in Miami but know what we will stay in touch for many years to come. Next pictures of what my co-workers did my office on the last day of work.

El Capitan

As I mentioned already in my previous blog Fernando had his soccer championship this past weekend. It was great, he is awesome and we're looking forward to the next season.

The FAT Lady has SUNG!

Team Inter {B} had their soccer final this past Saturday and ... they didn't win, but it was an awesome game and a remarkable season.

Inter B is such a great team, such a nice group of people and Fernando is such an awesome Captain.
