The Games Began

I really should feel worse for not blogging for the past, what, month? But, in all honesty, I really didn't have much to share. I mean, there's only so many posts I can make about living small-town, or about being married to the hottest guy around. I don't particularly feel inclined to tell you my failures as a mother-- which, I could PROBABLY write an entirely DIFFERENT blog on EVERYday! But instead, I just prefer to wait until something noteworthy occours.

Like,
the fact that I am here in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games! :)

Yes, Will and I shipped our four "living-with-us" rugrats to various homes, and drove our way out here, bringing out boxes and bags and enough stuff for two weeks. Lucky for me, I also brought along a wonderful head/sinus cold, which, naturally, has decided that the Olympics is a cool place to be too.

We are volunteers for the hockey at Canada Hockey Place. A great experience in and of itself, just to get a mugshot on a neck tag and feel all official. And heck, we even get free transit with those passes, nevermind that they're not even checking transit passes to begin with! ;)

After a briefing, we got to spend the next two hours before the Women's Hockey game selling 50/50 tickets to people from all over the world. Sometimes we had to explain how 50/50 works, and lots of times we just get to talk with people and laugh at their crazy home-country paraphanelia. Our first game was the 18-0 game (Canada vs. Slovakia).

We now get to be part of most of the men's hockey games, the women's gold-medal game and the men's bronze. We're excited.

I'll TRY to keep updating, at least the exciting stuff. maybe even a photo here or there. :)
