There were marriages coming up, discussions on babies, spouses that were getting tired of being single and jobs that needed our attention. What we didn’t discuss however, was what we were going to do if we won! Our decision to continue to play was based on a variety of things. The first was the realization of what we would now be invited to next season – that got us pretty pumped!

We also get to compete in The Continental Cup as part of Team North America, in St Albert Jan 13-17, 2011 – what fun! Next we have guaranteed a spot into our Alberta Scotties Provincials Jan 26-30, 2011 in Camrose and with a win there – we would get an all expense paid trip across Canada to my adopted home province, Prince Edward Island, Feb 19-27, 2011 where Charlotteown is hosting the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
