Last Monday, Susan and I went to the Olympic sendoff for Des Moines' Shawn Johnson (world & national champion gymnast and the cutest thing youve ever seen) and Lolo Jones, a world record holder in the hurdles. They predicted a crowd of around 1,000..but it ended up being about 1,400. Too cool! If you dont know anything about Shawn Johnson, be sure to check out her website: www.shawnjohnson.net She goes to Valley High School here in West Des Moines and is on her way to being America's sweetheart!
