Wow, it's already Sunday. In some ways, it feels like the event just started and in others, it seems like it's been going on for two weeks. In true fashion, my blog took a back seat while I posted other Nationals content on IDC. I'm really glad that the other bloggers have been able to keep you, our readers, more up-to-date on the Saint Paul happenings.

Getting up this morning, I realized that upon returning from tonight's exhibition, I'll be packing as my flight leaves at 6am Monday. I know many competitors, parents, coaches and fans will be departing today, and for those of you who are - SAFE TRAVELS! For me, I'm hoping that my flights are on-time and that I'll arrive back in Maine as scheduled. This event had so many bright, special moments as well as sad, reflective ones.
