Futbol

Ok, so I forgot to mention Soccer is a big thing in my family. My husband plays it and my boys talk, play and watch this sport 24/7. The only thing I hear my boys say is Gol...Goooool de Messi, Gol de la Liga(LDA). I like the sport and recently I've been watching the Gold Cup (previously known as CONCACAF Championship), which is held every 2 years in the USA. I'm a huge fan of the Costa Rican team, regardless of how much we have dropped our ranking and how this new "Sele" hasn't yet adjusted to playing some good futbol. My hope is that my team will one day win the Gold Cup. As for this years Gold Cup, Dennis Marshall scored the only goal for Costa Rica five days earlier in a match against Honduras in the quaterfinals of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Thanks to Alvaro Saborio, by far the worst soccer player that the "Sele" has had, we were kicked out of the cup.

Ok, so you might be asking what does all this soccer talk have to do with any party creations? In my world many things, but today nothing that I'm creating at this moment. Basically, I have had in my mind one of the Costa Ricans soccer player Dennis Marshall, who died yesterday while traveling with his wife on the Braulio Carillo highway in Costa Rica. My heartfelt condalences for the Marshall & Masís family on the passing of their son and daughter. May God's peace and strength be with you all. It's hard to believe how one day we are here and the next only God knows where we will be. It's amazing how this young soccer player has touched my heart and has had me thinking about him and his family all day.

In honor of Dennis Marshall I'll be creating soccer goody bags for my son's last day of school. Stay tuned for pictures before the end of next week. Also check out karaspartyideas.blogspot.com for all the details and downloadable templates for your own soccer party!
