I Am Proud To Be A Canadian!

Ever since I can remember I have been a huge fan of the Olympics - both winter and summer, but especially winter!  Living in Mexico doesn't lend itself, naturally, to many opportunities to follow Winter Olympic coverage.  That made me sad. I love the sports, I love the medal presentations, I love the national anthems, I love the opening and closing ceremonies, I love the flags, I love the human spirit, I love the stories of inspiration behind the athletes, I love the hard work and competition, I love the looks of determination and of victory, I love the information about the culture of the host country...I love it all!  A lot of emotions can be experienced during the games :) Although we didn't get great coverage of the events these past 2 weeks...we watched what little we could and felt so thankful today to be able to watch the gold medal hockey game and the closing ceremonies.  I am proud to be a Canadian.  I am proud of all of our medals and especially the gold ones :)  I just think it is pretty cool to remember my great Canada and all it has to offer!  Apparently, my son is just like me because tonight Chase literally broke down into a heap of tears.  I thought it was because we told him it was bedtime but then he hugged me and blubbered, "but I don't want the Olympics to be over!"  Too sweet.  My boys loved watching all the winter sports and had more questions to ask than I ever knew possible.  It was fun to experience this with them ~ blew my mind when I began to tell them how old they will each be the next time the winter Olympics roll around. Craziness.  But until then - good job Team Canada!  Love you!
