Pick up at 11:30!

Today is the day! Just having my coffee, checking my blog (tee hee), calming everyone down.

It's 9 and pick up is in 2 1/2 hours. This is what I still have to do: pack myself (it took me all day yesterday to pack everyone else), eat breakfast, write out pet lists for Roman the house sitter, call the neighbour and ... probably ten other things I can't think of right now.

We're going to look pretty smart though! All decked out in our CN wear with our CN bags. They've sent us 3 boxes of hats, scarves, mitts, coats and other clothing as a part of the winnings. The coolest item would be hockey jerseys with a CNR Maple leaf on the front and our names on the back. Spiffy!

Some of you have said you wanted to look for us! We'll be wearing our gear! Monday's event is 17:00 Individual Men Speed Skating. Tuesday is 16:15 Men's Speed Skating Short Program (Marina is so excited!). Thursday we'll see the Men again at 17:00 Free program. Then we wait a bit for a Quarter Final Men's Hockey Game on Feb. 24. We'll be checking out tickets for other events. Pretty cool that they matched some of our interests with the tickets.

If you want to check out where we are staying it's the Vancouver Howard Johnson Boutique and while you are googling look up Cin Cin where we will have the hotty totty dinners! I hope I packed the right clothes!

You can see how overwhelming this trip is when you see it written out. Crazy. We feel really honoured. I hope at some point in all the interviews and articles that will be written we have a chance to express how we received blessings and just love giving it out. It is our family's heart to give from the life we've been given in Christ Jesus our Lord. We volunteered before this trip and we'll volunteer when it's all said and done.

Next time I post, we'll probably be at the hotel!
