Did That Really Happen?Guest post by Jennifer Comeaux,author of Life on the Edge
 Have youever experienced something in your life, perhaps a long-awaited event or afulfilled dream, and thought afterward, "Did that really happen?" That's what Ikept asking myself after I returned from my trip to the 2010 Winter Olympics inVancouver.
Attendingthe Olympics always seemed like an unreachable dream. Tickets would beimpossible to secure, lodging would be a nightmare to obtain, the costs wouldbe too outrageous. But then the unexpected happened. A batch of tickets for thefigure skating events became available a few months before the 2010 Games, andI made the spur-of-the-moment decision to buy some. I was shaking as I pressedthe "Purchase" button online. The tickets were pricey, but I couldn't let theopportunity of a lifetime pass by–the opportunity to realize a dream I'd hadsince I was a kid watching the "Battle of the Brians" on TV during the 1988Olympics.
I'm soglad I pressed that button because the four days I spent in Vancouver wereeverything I imagined the Olympics would be and more. I shared the experiencewith a couple of friends, and we made the most of every minute–from gawking atthe Olympic cauldron downtown to attending early morning ice dance practice togoing up Grouse Mountain at two in the morning for the taping of the TODAYShow. It was a whirlwind trip but full of so many moments I'll rememberforever.
I loveto take photographs, so I tried to capture in photos the feel-good spirit andenergy that was everywhere in Vancouver. I also recorded a few videos of someof my favorite moments.
