Hello to all from Glasgow, Scotland! I am so excited to have made my first Olympic roster, and can't wait for the Games to get underway! It feels incredible to be playing for the USA at an Olympics, and despite some challenges along the way, I never lost belief in the dream. Thanks to everyone for your support! We play France on Wednesday, July 25th at Hampden Park for our first group match, and will then take on Colombia and Korea DPR. You can view all of our group games on NBC Sports Network - be sure to cheer us on! Also, as you all know, I love to take photos, so for day-to-day updates,...

First of all Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday season – I definitely did! I am writing this blog to announce that I've made a big decision in agreeing to terms with the Atlanta Beat. I am really excited for the new journey ahead of me in WPS and am looking forward to the new challenges that await in 2012. However, with this announcement, I am sad to be parting ways with the Boston Breakers organization, my teammates, and most regrettably the amazing Breakers’ fans who have supported me over the last three years. I will always cherish my time in the incredible...

Since Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) launched in 2009, I've been so lucky to call Boston my home during each season with the Boston Breakers. I couldn't have asked for a better city to explore over the past three years and wanted to share with everyone my top ten favorite places. So here it goes... Wired Puppy: This is my favorite coffee shop in town! It's on Newbury Street and my favorite drink here is the Iced Vanilla Latte. J.P. Licks: Their mint chip ice cream is the best! Bartley's Gourmet Burgers: I get the Bill Clinton - yum! Dunkin Donuts: I love Dunkin's Iced Coffee. It may come...

I am a huge Dancing with the Stars fan and have watched the show since its first season, which was way back in 2005! Anyway, needless to say, I am so excited Hope Solo is doing the show this season and to top it all off she is partnered with one of my favorite dancing pros - Maksim Chmerkovskiy! I hope everyone is voting for Hope every Monday night. I know I am! She is such a rockstar! Maks came along with Hope when we did our celebration series against Canada. She is working really hard and was doing double duty, training for the show and our games! I had to snap a photo! And, I had to get one of myself...

When we arrived in Germany our number one goal was to win the World Championship. My belief in the possibility never wavered, even when we hit a few road bumps throughout the tournament. After all, this particular US WNT has never gone about things the easy way. As the tournament progressed, I became particularly impressed with our final opponent, Japan. Their team was truly inspiring, as we were too, and I could think of no better match-up for the Women's World Cup Final. To me, it was so exciting that both the US and Japan - two teams that had displayed such unique team work and belief in each...

It has been such an incredible journey at my first-ever FIFA Women's World Cup and I am so excited to say that we have secured a place in the final against Japan on Sunday in Frankfurt, Germany. The US WNT has not been in a World Cup final since 1999 and I am so proud to be a part of this team, who will be vying to be crowned World Champions! The team has shown so much heart and a unique fight to win throughout the entire tournament. I also think my game in particular has really improved as the tournament has progressed. Our first match in Dresden was against North Korea, but I think my first...
