Well hello there everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend, I know I did! It was full of so much fun and excitement!!! So grab some snacks and enjoy the photos and candid moments from this years Miracle Weekend!!
We arrived in Vancouver late Wednesday evening, and the madness began on Thursday. On Thursday morning we woke up and made out way down to the Secret Garden Tea House in Kerresdale to meet Elaine Yong for some filming for a news story. After having High Tea, we made our way over to the hospital for our appointment as well as more filming for the story! After that I had my actual appointment with my wonderful doctor. Then we finished taping with Elaine over at the set of the telethon and I got a quick tour! Next we picked up Ofelia and made our way over to the old spaghetti factory in Gastown. 
After we all went out to dinner, Ofelia and I got to go see Wicked!!!!! And to say that we were excited is a complete understatement.
We left the performance almost completely speechless, I think we just kept saying "wow"!! We give it 4 out of 4 thumbs up!!
Friday was totally jam packed with plans!! It all started at around 7:45am in Burnaby at the global studio! We went in to get make-up done and wait to be interviewed on the morning news.
After the interview we went to visit Tiffany and her new baby boy!!! Baby Maxwell Hugh McFadyen was born on May 22nd at 11:11!!! He is absolutely precious and I loved the newborn cuddles!! It was so nice to see Tiffany is settling into motherhood just fine! She's going to be such a wonderful mom! 
After visiting with Tiffany and Max we went out to lunch! While we were eating I actually watched myself on the interview which I found on the global website! Also, is that really what I sound like?! Weird!
Lunch was good and we then went to visit some friends we met through the Ronald McDonald house. Actually, 2 years ago today is when Muj had his accident that left him paralyzed. The thought of being in a chair the rest of his life had never crossed his mind, and his determination to walk again is astounding! He's made such incredible progress, from being told he would never walk again, to gaining some movement in his legs!! I was so glad we got to see him and his family. They are all wonderful and I'm so glad we are friends!! Go check out more of his story (after you're done here of course) at this link!!

After our visits we went over to the studio for the rehearsal for the telethon!! Apparently I did great and I liked the crew, they a laughed at my jokes!
Once rehearsal was done we were allowed to hit up the hotel and relax for the rest of the night! Phew! We definitely needed the break, well, my parents did! They fell asleep at 8:30!!! I had a bath and relaxed and kept myself entertained until I fell asleep.
Saturday was crazy! We had some time off in the morning and early afternoon so we checked out of our hotel and leisurely wandered around the mall and purchased a few shirts and such, then got to check in to the new Ronald McDonald house!! Although it is unfinished, it is still amazing, and even though we saw pictures, it wasn't what we thought it was going to be. I can't wait until it's actually finished and functioning! I made a little speech there, and we enjoyed the activities and a wonderful dinner!!
At 7:15 (ish) I was back at the telethon for make-up! After I got all beautified for tv I was off to a quick photoshoot. After the photoshoot it was on set to get ready to go on live tv! Ahh! Thankfully I had Laura there to show me where I needed to be, and when! Yay for Laura!
Apparently I did great, but man was I ever nervous!!
Sunday was a little more relaxing for me, I just got to lay low behind the scenes until 5:30 when we announced the grand total! At 11:30 George got to go on the phone panel! 
Thanks again to everyone who donated during the telethon!!!
This year I saw many familiar faces at the telethon and of course had to get pictures with the people I saw!! I saw the whole Wright family this year, and Jemma was co-hosting Sunday! (Didn't she do awesome?!) I also saw Chris Gailus, who is always so nice! I also couldn't forget my annual girls pic with Addison!! I am so glad I could see all these amazing kids once again, and amazing volunteers who put in all their time to make this show what it is every year!!
(The Wright family!)
All in all it was an amazing weekend!! I can't say enough how much we love coming down to Miracle Weekend and participating as much as we can!! I feel so grateful to be able to give back to a place that has given me so much. To donate my story, and a little bit of time to the telethon is the least we can do for a place that makes miracles happen every day. I know because I am one, and I've met so many!
Thank you all for your love and support through this!
