Bitter Sweet
Why bitter/sweet ... let me explain!
SWEET :
- the senior girls volleyball team that I coach just won the north central zones .
-we beat a team from Prince George in the final ...
-PG's coach had called me early last week (before the zone tourney) to ask me when the provincials were so she could BOOK a busdriver. Basically assuming that her team had the win in the bag!
- WE BEAT PG ... it was best of 5 and my girls kicked their a**, taking them 3 straight!!!
-I thanked the PG coach for booking us a bus driver .. it was very thoughtful!
BITTER:
-Provincials are in Creston, BC ... yep the end of the earth .. okay not quite but it's a 18 hour drive .. on a bus with 13 girls under the age of 18!
SWEET:
-the school just rented us a chartered bus ... that's right .. you know the ones with DVD players and multiple tv's ... not to mention a bathroom ... the NVSS Viqueens not only won the zones and are going to Creston to represent our small community at the "AA" provincials but we're going in style!!!! YAHOO!
BITTER:
-What the hell are we going to do in Creston?
SWEET:
-tour the Kokanee brewery of course .. not much of a beer drinker but will have to try some FRESH brewed glacier beer!
BITTER:
-I will be gone for 5 nights .. the most I have ever left Linden!
SWEET:
-my Mom will take him while Ryan works and then (Ry) Daddy will be there to take care of the big guy! Not sure what I would do without all my support! I will miss Linden but I won't worry about him as I know he's in the best care possible!
BITTER:
-just broke my tooth and need a full root canal
SWEET:
-I broke it while eating a very good candy! Do you think it was a sign from God telling me that I didn't really need that candy!

wish I could go to watch and support the team. Good for your girls, good for you. You will have fun no matter what, no matter where.
Oh, you KNOW I'm going to comment on the Kokanee brewery....
We stopped there on our way to a wedding this summer. Didn't have time to do the tour (I was pouting). But it's a very cool place! I bought some nice fresh beer there and a little Kokanee cooler to keep it cold. I did get a picture of me and the Sasquatch though... Make SURE you do the tour - for me!!!!
And good luck with your girls! That's very exciting. Any time you beat PG (in any sport) it's an accomplishment for sure! Sounds like you'll be riding in style. Nice!
YAY VIQUEENS! I'm so happy that you guys got a charter bus - it will make the trip so much better!!! Good luck, girlies!!
You and Matty will both be in the chair getting a root canal. How cute.
Congrats to your girls!! At least you get to travel in style....
