All I can say is WOW. Image via GNews Amazing game. I learned of the score via Twitter and frequent phone calls from my father while sitting in a VERY nice restaurant at the Bellagio in Vegas. I may have jumped up and screamed when the news came across about the gold… Classy. Good job [...]
Now after writing the last post on Tuesday evening I headed to the airport to pick up my parents from the airport upon their return from spending the last week in Vancouver at the Olympics… so jealous! ~ Giving me the highlights of their trip my mum mentioned how some of the best merchandise was [...]
