Olympics

So, my sister's curling team (rock, not arm) won the USA Olympic Trials in February for the 2010 Winter Olympics. While this is incredibly exciting, I also know it will be very costly. There was so much discussion back and forth about who is paying for what, Mom and Dad can I stay with you and all the other craziness. I am so glad that we are now in a holding pattern. We (are pretty sure we) have tickets-which is NOT an easy thing to get your hands on, no matter how obscure the sport, we have hotel rooms booked from Bellingham, WA to Vancouver, BC, Canada and we are all in agreement that we need to fly into Seattle and drive up to Canada. It's actually a great thing because I was born and raised there. I will get to visit with some old friends so that will be nice. The 2.5 weeks I have to take off work won't. They are pretty cool about it because they see this for what it is. AN EXCITING, ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT. I have to keep reminding myself of that everyday.

I also should add, I cannot be more proud of my sister and all she has accomplished.
