CrAzInEsS!!!


Today when I was reading some facebook status', I came across one that blew my mind! She (Sara, my HS friend) was giving Lindsey Vonn a virtual hi-5 for being a Burnsville (MN) native and learning how to ski at Buck Hill. The part that blew me away was I AM A BURNSVILLE NATIVE WHO LEARNED HOW TO SKI AT BUCK HILL TOO!!!! So think about this, if I would have kept at it (skiing in the coldest temps known to man with wet hair since I had swimming 7th hour right before leaving for ski club) I could have been an Olympic Gold Medalist! Now how about that! Okay, that would have never happened, but it's always fun to dream!!

Check out the story here.

P.S. Now that I know that we are basically twins (me and Lindsey Vonn) I don't find her quite as annoying. Haha

Let the Games Begin!



I love the Olympic Games, especially the Winter Games!! I have many memories growing up watching the Games with my family. I am just as excited this year!! I have always enjoyed watching figure skating, but I also love downhill skiing, bobsled, ski jumping (ever since Eddie the Eagle), and speed skating. Matt really enjoys Curling. What are your favorite Winter Olympic Events?
