Less than a month!

Wow! Times flies when you're busy. Less than a month!

Don't forget to cheer on the men's and women's teams this weekend at the challenge rounds in Bismarck, ND (men) and Green Bay, WI (women).

Winni and Team

Just got back from Winnipeg last night. It was a great weekend filled with good food, good curling (2-2), an interview, and lots of driving. What a long drive! Unfortunately, I'm the only one who had to work today, so it was tough getting out of bed. I just wanted to sleep in. The weather is much warmer today at 18 degrees above. Never thought I'd say 18 was warm, but it's a big difference from last week!

So we started and ended our pre-season in Winnipeg and now we're headed to the U.S. Olympic curling trials in Broomfield, Colorado!

Midwest Regional Qualifiers

Well, we made it to Green Bay and back, going 5-0 and finishing at the top of the field last weekend! Thanks to everyone for all the support, messages, emails, and fans who were watching the results online and for all those who made the trip to the GBCC. Our team had a new experience– sharing a house while we competed– which gave us plenty of time to relax and allowed us to show off our cooking skills to each other. But nothing compared to the awesome lasagna made by Debbie! We're already compiling a grocery list for Broomfield :) Laura has the duty of dividing the foods by grocery section and having us each take a list and looking for those items on our lists. I thought I made good time until the announcement was made over the entire grocery store for "Team Potter please report to lane 5!" Who knew the dairy would be in one of the first corners of the store instead of one of the last corners? I told Laura we needed to get a map of the grocery store next time :)

We are all really excited to be going to Broomfield for the U.S. Olympic Trials. We hope to see many of our fans and supporters there. I know several are planning their vacations right now and we hope to see the rest of you via email and messages during the competition. Until then, we'll keep you updated on the MCA Bonspiel coming up this weekend!
