meet 'n' greet with jr celski

most people usually are confused when ally and i say that we went to go meet 'jr celski'.  


"...and that is....??" is the usual reply.


but when i say 'we went to meet jr celski' to the one of the LACES (or any other girls at oregon central korean sda church for that matter) , the reply would be more around an 


"OHH MYYY GOOODDNNESSS!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT BEFORE!  AWWW!!! SOOO LUCKY!!"


can you just see how jr celskified (like my new word?  almost as good as 'i really beliebed in you'!) we have all become?  






anywho, the situation above was definitely NOT a hypothetical one; we ACTUALLY did meet JR CELSKI, short-track bronze medalist at the Vancouver 2010 Games.  






and yes, we did take some pictures =)
