Unite & Conquer

So a couple of years ago, Atlanta got a football(soccer) team. I was pretty excited. Growing up in the Washington DC area, DC United was pretty much our only consistenly good winning team. Couple that with my Caribbean heritage and I've always sort of enjoyed the sport. I never really overly invested though. That changed when the announcement was made about Atlanta United. I'm not sure why it happened, probably something to do with the Atlanta Thrashers (NHL Hockey) leaving and having a sense of lost when that happened. Nonetheless when tickets went on sale for the first AU game I was there. Several games and 2 stadiums later I had become a full fledged member of the "Footie Mob"(still learning the chants tbh but hey got to start somewhere). Flash forward 2 years and me having a stint in the UK (Go LCFC!) I got back to Atlanta just in time to see my Atlanta United win the MLS Cup. Oh boy what a run it has been. I'm so proud of the expansion team that could! On Monday the whole city celebrated the 5 Stripes with an awesome parade and party. I just wanted to stop by to share my joy and say Vamos Vamos ATL!!!

Just gotta be me

So I went home this weekend...I had so much fun...I miss my family so much sometimes, but while I was home I learned something about myself I can't live MY life for my family.

Three states, One Girl

No, this is not the beginning of a bad joke. It's actually the beginning of a cool trip. I had a conference in Boston a couple of weeks ago. That was my first time in MA, while there I took the opportunity to check off a couple of additional NE states that I'd never been too. Depending on who you ask NY may or may not be considered NE but in any case previously I'd only been as far north as CT. With this trip I also saw NH & ME. I actually had to look up the abbreviation for Maine because I'd never been and couldn't remember what it was 😅.  Coastal Maine was beautiful. I've obviously been on the east coast waters before but seeing it as a lush green forestscape was another thing entirely. I definitely see why it's the setting of so many Stephen King stories, it's hauntingly beautiful. New Hampshire was a bit more rustic than I expected in the most delightful way. Massachusetts (Boston) was fun to explore and I spent so much time doing something I ne...
