HTC Van Decorating

   Even though HTC technically began Friday morning on Mt. Hood, the festivities started Thursday evening when our team (minus a few members) got together to decorate vans.  Actually, Van 1 rode in an actual van, while Van 2 rode in one sweet suburban, thanks to the Habels!!  Our team name was Road Surfers so obviously we had to go with a Hawaiian type theme.  We had surf boards zip tied to our roof, but my favorite decoration was definitely the grass skirt along the front of the brush guard of the suburban.  It rocked!  I kept thinking that if our van was a character in the movie Cars, he would be one hardcore dude!  Probably with an earring or two, lol!

      So you would think that getting a good nights sleep on a night like this would be top priority, right?  Yeah, that didn't happen!  I spent the night at a teammates house with the other girls from Van 2 and we did what girls do best, stayed up late talking.  But I'm not trying to kid anyone, I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway ... too excited!!
