Archer.

So today started with a huge surprise in the soccer world. Brazil was playing the Dutch and they took the game. That puts Brazil, which is ranked at the best team in the world right now, out of the world cup. It just goes to show that this world cup has had some major losses and upsets. The other game ended poorly if you ask me. It was Ghana, the last African team, playing Uruguay. The game was tied at full time and it was even tied at the end of extra time but there was still a free kick left to give and then the game would be over. Well the free kick was given to Ghana and the ball was headed in and the keeper blocked the ball. The ball flew up into the air and one of the Ghanians brought it down and shot it into the goal. It would have made it all the way through but the other team had a hand ball and punched it away. The penalty kick was given but lost and then Ghana lost the game in PKs. It was a poor loss but I have faith that Uruguay will beat the living daylight out of them.

Next up on todays list was our doctors appointment. We went and found that there was only our doctor working today so it was very slow at the office. The appointment went well and we have another ultrasound next week. From there we did a short shopping trip. Kristin wanted to find some storage that would fit underneath his crib and I kinda needed some new shoes. The big ones int he picture are mine and the little one will be his when he comes out. I have no idea if my feet were ever that small, believe me my dad will tell you that they were never small. But if they were just imagine how much he will have to grow to be my size! I thought the picture was a cool idea and decided to put it up here.

When you use a skilled weapon like the bow and arrow you have to know much about it, especially if you want to be good at it. In this case many people might speculate that the most important part is the strong straight shaft of the arrow for accuracy, or the sharp point, perhaps the feathers at the end that help the arrow fly straight, or the strong bow that sends the arrow flying. After looking at what might be the best piece of the equipment we have to understand that it is nothing without the man holding the weapon. The name Archer simply is that, a bowman. If we think historically about archers we would see that it was because of them that we have the structured world we have today. They were the first gunman, snipers, and special operatives. If you were good at a bow and arrow you could feed your family, and protect them. It was because of these powerful people that Attila was able to be the ruler he was. They are always the strongest and smartest men on the battle field. They are quick and brave. There are names that have meaning, but this one has a history.
