Hello Everyone,

The time to leave for China is rapidly approaching. We leave in 4 days for Beijing! As you can imagine our team is very anxious to get to the Olympics and begin the tournament. It has been a long, hard 7 months leading up to this moment and we are all ready to show the world what we are capable of doing.  With only a few days left to prepare, we are busy packing and putting the finishing touches on our training. On Friday we head to San Fransisco where we will meet up with other USA Olympic Team members and go through a process called Team Processing. This is where we will get briefed on all the excitment of the Olympics and what to expect and look for. We will then be issued our official USA Olympic Team apparel. We will spend the night as a team at San Jose University and then we will leave Saturday morning for Beijing. I look forward to sharing my experiences with all of you through this blog! I hope you will be able to enjoy the 2008 Olympic Games as much as I will!
