Going for the Gold...It's Serious Business

I don’t know if you have been watching the Olympics, but we have been trying to catch some of it here and there. Not only are we watching the Olympics, but we are having our own Olympic Games XBOX 360 Kinect Style. You should see the world-class athletes in action on my living room floor; the athletic abilities are flying off the couches!

It's true the Lord gifts all of us in different ways, and after careful consideration of our God-given talents, I do think that there are several areas where our family could possibly compete on an Olympic level:

1. Darryl – the amount of loaded grocery bags he can carry from the car to the kitchen table in one swoop – Gold Medalist!
2. Darya – mispronouncing American words and names.  It all began when we were singing at church “He is risen!” and she was shouting at the top of her lungs, “He is freezing!” In her world  KFC is known as Kifs and most recently she thought a lady on the Olympic’s name was Camel, not Camille.
3.  Jayden – eating pizza playing Halo Reach and impersonations, there are Jayden’s Gold, Silver and Bronze.
4. Bryleigh – Counting her rice grains up to ten.
5. Maddex – Olympic napping!
6. Me - Googling on YouTube, I know it is a rare talent, but I have it!

Future Rice Counting Gold Medalist

In training for Olympic Napping

A disclaimer: we have not consulted with any professionals (yet), but we are certainly willing to consider additional training under the supervision of a serious coach and/or mentor. The Harjo’s are going for the GOLD! What would you receive your Gold Medal in?
