Team Processing

Hi Everyone! I guess first I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in Green Lane and I went to high school and Christopher Dock in Lansdale, Pa. I then went to play field hockey at the University of North Carolina. I just finished my college eligibility this fall (and our team won the NCAA championship!) I took the spring semester off to train with the national team in Chula Vista, California... and what a wild ride it's been. 

 So today my Olympic journey started... and I am already blown away. This morning we woke up at 5 to catch a flight up to San Francisco for team processing at San Jose State. We spent the day getting completely outfitted for the Olympic games, and wow... Nike and Polo did an amazing job. I have never gotten so many clothes at one time before.  We also got our opening ceremonies outfits today... they are classic. When I tried it on I got goosebumps. I still can't believe I am going to the Olympics. Somebody pinch me. There are so many emotions going through me right now, its overwhelming.. Our whole team is about to experience their very first olympic games, none of us no what to expect or what we are in for. I think everyone is feeling a little anxious and we are ready to get over there! 

So tomorrow morning we are up early once again to get on our 12 hour flight to Beijing. I will post some more once I get over there.
