Information dump

Today, I sent in my measurements for the uniforms.  There were a lot of measurements that they needed, so I guess they are going to custom make my outfits.  Also, they asked me to update my photo, which I did, and they gave me the dates for my trip.  I will be there from Jan 16, 2014 to Feb 24, 2014.  That's going to be quite a time to be in Russia.  I'm so excited, I can't wait.

I have set up a donation website to start trying to raise money for my trip.  The address is http://olympicblog2014.blogspot.com.  Remember: donate early, donate often.  I really appreciate anything you can throw my way to help me get there.

The Adventure Begins 9/28/2013

I found out within the last few days that I was accepted as a volunteer for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.  They also sent me an Excel Spreadsheet with all the measurements they need from me in order to provide my uniforms for the games.
I need to get myself measured and start providing them with the information that they need.
Also, today I set up my donation site on www.gofundme.com to raise money for this trip.  It is going to be a bit expensive to get from Florida to Russia, but after that, costs should be minimal.

Until I get everything ready, I suppose that's all for now.  I need to get busy getting them what they need.
