Turning in my stack of paperwork, including my application and entrance fee at Iditarod Headquarters. A caramel Americano in hand to calm my nerves.
We did it. We are officially signed up for Iditarod 2016! We are very excited and proud to have made it this far; however, the experience didn't occur without big eyes, moments of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed. Why is taking one step closer to a dream such a mix of emotions? Deep breathes!
Thank you, Racerconnect.com, for paying our entrance fee!! And, thank you to my fan club for attending the sign-up picnic with me (Jeff, Sissyhead, Elisha, J&J and Queen Sweetie CY), as well as those of you cheering us on through texts, emails and Facebook! Your support and positive energy help keep us moving forward.
