The Long Road by Woodsy

A suggestion a year and half ago has come to fruition. The 2010 Vancouver Olympics! It was a long process but was definitely worth it. As Michael had mentioned previously, this blog is primarily for friends and family to follow our exciting journey (but we look forward to getting comments from anyone!). I do not profess to be a journalist or author. Yes, there will be grammatical errors and maybe even spelling mistakes.
We applied, had a phone interview, background check, in person interview in Toronto and training session, and finally an RCMP check. We were told we would be informed around May 2009. On August 4 (while on vacation) we both received emails stating we had been accepted. Both of our roles are with the Men's Alpine Crew; I am working with the Steward Crew. I don't really know what my exact role will be but I understand it is security of some sort.
We were a bit stressed because our original accommodations fell through but we perservered and on August 26 found new accommodations.
On September 5, 2009 we purchased our flights to Vancouver.
