Hey!

Today the Olympics officially begin! So excited to watch all of the athletes on television. I would have loved to go to Vancouver to watch the action in person but with the pageant in a month's time, I had too much to do back home. Oh well!

I'm really rooting for Canada to bring home tons of GOLD! There's something about having the games on Canadian soil that seems to make any medals wins even sweeter.  I personally love to watch the ice skating competitions. I actually used to be a BIG fan back in the day and watch any of their competitions on TV. I haven't really followed it now but I'm looking forward to picking my favorites once the skating begins.

Some sad news though: I read this morning that one of the German athletes participating in Luge died today after hitting a pole while practicing yesterday. How sad! I can't even imagine what the people who knew him must be going through. My thoughts go out to his family and I just hope nothing else happens to the athletes.

Stay safe everyone and GO CANADA!!!!
