Rockin' the Vancouver Olympics

Greetings from beautiful downtown Vancouver, British Columbia! Cammi is off to the NBC Studios for her first on-camera appearance of these winter Olympic Games. (check local listings today). When she left the house this morning, after very little sleep, she was so calm, but truly excited to be broadcasting Women's Ice Hockey! When she was little, there was no such thing! You will find her on various NBC channels, including: USA network, msnbc, and cnbc. I'll update her TV schedule, but just know that she is on during all women's games, even if it's not Team USA's turn to play. She will be on your local NBC affiliate during the final rounds (medals).

I wish you were all here to share in the excitement. Last night's opening ceremonies set the stage for what we hope will be two more weeks of magic. It is awesome to be at my fourth Winter Olympics, but this time I am without a sibling in competition. As I glanced at the media centre (canadian spelling) in Cammi and Ray's living room, I noticed her two medals; one GOLD, one SILVER. I know what it took for her to achieve those. I was there, watching, wishing, cheering, and sometimes praying...all the way there.

To me, her success goes beyond her sport. She is an amazing athlete, wife, Mommy, and sister. I will cherish every moment of just being near her as I watch her beautiful boys so she can be on TV talking about a great game she loves.

Whatever you do in life, take pride! We can all be champions of our own lives. Keep skating, keep wiping noses, keep believing, and keep the Olympic spirit in your hearts! TTYS.
