Tonight is the night that we have all been waiting for! The 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremonies. We are all very excited about going to the big show. I believe that they will be aired at home for you folks on NBC at 7:30pm. I hope you can tune in and watch. We will be about country 140 out of 200 some to walk in. So if you tune in late you can still catch us. Hopefully our hockey team will get on TV but there are so many athletes from the USA that it may not quite work out that way. The people around Beijing, and the rest of the world for that fact, have been talking about how incredible their plans are for tonights ceremonies. I can’t wait to see the show!

Last night our scrimmage with Korea went very well. We ended up tying 2-2 but we played very well and were happy with our execution of skills. We are very very excited to start off our tournament with our first game on Sunday evening against Argentina. This game will be televised on MSNBC live (6:30am E.S.T.). I hope you can all get up early to watch our first game.

Here are a few more pictures from our trip so far. Left to Right: The birds nest(where the opening ceremonies will be held tonight), and two shots of the flag raising ceremony from Tuesday night in the village.

Today I’d like to thank my grandparents Mary and Raymond for all their support and especially their prayers for me over this incredible journey!
