They did it!!!

Posted by DeAnna

Okay, so this post will have nothing to do with scrapbooking (okay maybe at the end!), so I hope you will all forgive me ;D I don’t mention it often – maybe never on the blog – but our house is a huge Vancouver Canucks house. My son Kyle’s bedroom is painted in Canucks blue and green, a Canucks logo wallpaper border, life-sized stickers of Roberto Luongo, and a life-sized Roberto Luongo growth chart on his wall. He wants a new jersey (since he’s growing out of his old one) with Luongo’s number on the back of it. He wants to be a goalie and when he is at hockey practicing passing, he receives a pass in a goalie butterfly. Have I mentioned that he’s 4?

Last night was do or die. Game 7, round one, against their nemesis the Chicago Blackhawks, who have ousted them from the playoffs the last two years. After squandering a 3-0 series lead, it came down to one game. In overtime. Burrows, in a major heads-up play to redeem himself from sitting in the penalty box seconds into the overtime period, scores the game-winning goal. The hero of the game, scoring Vancouver’s only two goals of the night, uplifted this city in the blink of an eye. Going into the overtime period he said that in the room they talked about how this, THIS was where legends were made. A legendary goal. On Monday night before going to bed I saw THIS video. It perfectly sums up what that game was all about… I was so nervous I couldn’t actually watch any of the game. I managed to stay in the room but I had to distract myself or I would have probably been sick! Even still it was a nerve wracking game but I’m glad that one’s over. On to Round 2!!

Oh, and I’m excited that this weekend is a spectacular event where I get to scrapbook for three days. Woo hoo!! Unfortunately, my husband will have to work, but he has to take the boys in with him ;D I need a break and I’m super happy I will be getting one! Also, at the beginning of June I am going to be in Kelowna taking my Copic Certification! Yay!! Sherrie Siemens is the instructor and if you haven’t checked out her blog you definitely should. I love using my Copics but I haven’t done it often enough lately so I’m going to be practicing a ton before June. But I will definitely feel more comfortable teaching classes with Copic coloring in them after the certification, so look for some classes from me at Precious Memories probably starting in August. That’s it, just a quick catch up…
