    Your Big Brother

    Hi Kerry
    Was great to meet you at the Oval this morning with my son Thomas (hockey boy)

    You are a great ambassador for Speedskating and we really wish you the best in training and all of your events!

  8. BBEI Says:

    Have fun over in Asia! We will be looking at your results on ISU. Too bad speed skating doesn’t have live feeds so we can watch you on the web. I remember I had to find you in the last Olympics on the French channel! We all looked at your website today after Brady was commenting on your pic on the fridge. I was trying to explain that you race. We then proceeded to race around the house.
    Love the Simpsons

  9. Mom Says:

    Dearest Kerry, I wish I were in the stands to wave to you as you cruise around the ice. It is my heart that I send to you in Nagano, Japan. All the best, sweetie, love you more, Mom

  10. Lynne Paulsen Says:

    Hi Kerry - Congratulations on nailing the 1000 metre World Cup race! You are an inspiration and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and Arne as we launched the Nexera sponsorship together. Everyone at AdFarm has the utmost confidence in you as a person and in your skating ability…such drive and determination. Kerry, believe in yourself, as we do - you ARE going to be a winner at the Olympics. Did you get any great fortune cookies that said “you’re on your way to success”?

  11. kerry08 Says:

    THanks Lynne! No fortune cookies, but I am motivated to do my best. Hahaha! Thanks for the support, it means a lot.

  12. Mom Says:

    Hey, Kerry, great article about your adventures in Russia. It was informative, yet full of voice (personality in your writing). We really enjoyed your insightful comments. Anyone reading them would then have a “feel” for the country and how travelling there can be emotionally charged. Congrats on your gritty performance. We are proud of you! Have a safe journey home, Kerry. Love, Mom and Dad P.S. The Mils won in Yorkton yesterday 4 to 1. YES! We have one very happy billet :-)

  13. Mom Says:

    That was hilarious of you to think of the “Christmas Prank”. I hope Lucas and Denny got all they wanted for Christmas. HA!HA!HA! Mom

  14. Zoey Says:

    Hey Kerry Thanks for helping me with my assignment I really appreciated it and good luck in all your upcoming events
    Zoey

  15. kerry08 Says:

    Hi Zoey,
    That is really cool that you are doing your assignment on me. What an honour! Hope you get a good mark!

  16. Zoey Says:

    Hey Kerry congrats and you will have my support everywhere you and in anything you go you have inspired me in so many ways even when you taught me swimming lessons.

  17. Mom Says:

    Hey, Kerry, I wish I were there with you right now, cooking for you, laughing with you, watching you skate, teasing you, just looking at you, watching a movie with you. Your Mom is missing you so I can imagine how much Arne wishes you were home, too. Don’t let me distract you , though. I know this is what you need to do and you should have fun doing it. I am thinking of you and wishing you all the best in training. See you soon, Love, Mom

  18. Mom Says:

    What a great idea, Kerry. The pizza looks great. I know Dad and I love when you make it for us. A little choked that it’s not one of MY recipes! HA!HA! Love, Mom

  19. kerry08 Says:

    I thought you might say that, hahaha! Don’t worry Mom, one of your recipes will grace the website, of course :)

  20. zoey Says:

    congratulations and how are you anyway? oh by the way I never did get the assignment back
    Zoey

  21. kerry08 Says:

    too bad, hopefully you got a good mark in that class though!

  22. Annemarie Says:

    Hi Kerry- Great recipe! All the best in your training this summer. Keep us posted on how it is going and I look forward to seeing you when you are back in Calgary!

  23. Annemarie Says:

    Wow Kerry- i have a new respect for your week! I don’t think i could make it through one set of imitations!!

    Keep up the great work :)

  24. Mom Says:

    Just got home from the lake and read your blog! Great idea, Kerry. Enjoy your guests for dinner tonight. Hope the weather there is nicer than it is here. Have a big pail of saskatoons waiting for you at the cabin. Also garden veggies of all kinds– especially rice beet-leaf rolls. m-m-m-m. Love, Mom

  25. Craig & Lynn Dutton Says:

    Hi Kerry,
    We had a phone call today from a very excited skater. We wanted you to know how much your generosity is appreciated. William is having the time of his life skating with the “fastest women in the world”.
    All the best with your training in California and beyond.
    Regards,
    Craig and Lynn

  26. Mom Says:

    So nice to hear that you are helping a fellow Sask skater, Kerry. As usual we are very proud of you. Your “roots” are showing.:-)

  27. kerry08 Says:

    I am so happy that Will was pumped! It is nice to be able to pass on some exciting things to a new member on the National Team, especially those that really appreciate it and work really hard. Being from SK also helps :) hahaha

  28. Mom Says:

    Well, Kerry and Arne, it was GREAT to be with you! You fill our hearts with joy and pride and besides all that, you are lots of fun to be with! Hope you LOVED your stay at Crooked Lake even though that nasty hawk was complaing about your invading his hunting territory! HA!HA!HA! Isn’t it just heavenly to breath that good old Sask. air? By the way, “GO, RIDERS, GO! Am having a terrific time with Brady and Isabelle. Lots of love, and remember to celebrate EVERY success! Love, Mom

  29. Mom Says:

    loved your “hawk” story on your website. Yes, Sask. is wild and strong and beautiful…. just like you! Love. Mom P.S. I am now safe and sound at home.

  30. Mom Says:

    I think you should write about your talented “reno” hubby, Arne, and all he is renovating in your condo and what about another recipe?

  31. Mom Says:

    WOW! I am so proud of you! Now that’s production!

  32. darcy gross Says:

    Kerry,
    Just spoke to your mom and would like to do a story on you for the Melville Advance. Please get back to me!

  33. zoey Says:

    Good luck in the olympics

  34. kerry08 Says:

    Thanks Zoey! My qualifications are at the end of December, between christmas and new year’s. Hopefully I’ll be going to the games! Thanks for reading my blog :)

  35. Shawn MacLennan Says:

    Hi Kerry, sorry to hear about your misfortune at Fall World Cup Trials, but you’re right, you will have an edge and I know you will have a great Olympic trials. SASSA is creating a new website and we are trying to get some of our National Team Athletes’ pictures up on the website. We are looking for your permission to use your images on there, you can join Mykola who already his pics up :) Just email me when you have some time, thanks and say hi to Arne for me.

  36. Mom Says:

    H1N1… scarier than Hallowe’en and more serious, for sure! What should you do? Talk to your coaches and your teammates. What are they doing and what do they usually do? As for myself, I think I will not be having a shot of any kind, but you, on the other hand, should at least get a flu shot as you do every year. This is quite a tough decision, but I know you will weigh the pros and cons and do the thing that makes the most sense as you always do. Take care, Kerry!

  37. Mom Says:

    The bonnets you made are SOOOOOOOOO cute! I cannot wait to see Isabelle in one of them!

  38. Dudie Wasyluk Says:

    Hi Kerry, how is skating going? I will not be skating on Sylvan Lake till it warms up. Going to Edmonton for our Christmas Party on Sat, will take in some Roar of The Rings on Friday. Love, Auntie Dudie

  39. kerry08 Says:

    Hi Auntie Dudie! Thanks for the post. Skating is going well. I am feeling the pressure already for trials, but hoping that I can rise to the occasion. It is pretty cold right now, but cool that you will be able to skate outdoors soon. I always say that skating outside when it is sunny is the best that it gets! Have fun at your Christmas party.
    Kerry

  40. Mom Says:

    I made sweet and sour pork with rice noodles and then pork stew with garden potatoes and carrots for supper…….YUM! Yours still looks tastier! Good cooker, our Kerry is!

  42. Mom Says:

    Oh, Kerry, you little teaser! I LOVE surprises and besides being with all the people I love most, giving presents is high on my list of the best moments in life. The best gifts are always the things you give and the things money cannot buy! (Although receiving golf balls is high on my list of things that make me happy!) Watching Blair in hockey,for 26 years and counting- he scored a hat trick yesterday), Kerry in speed skating (19 years) and Jody in volleyball, basketball and curling (you wait– she’s going to whip me in golf, too), have to be the BEST gifts in my life! There is no greater joy than watching all three of you do ANYTHING! Thanks for being so wonderful!

  43. Kees en Nieke Visser Says:

    Hi Kerry,
    From a rainy Salt Spring Island, we wish you success at the trials coming up after Christmas. We know it will be tough, but you can do it!
    Looking after the Olympics, congratulations to Arne for his acceptance in Delft. It will be great. Delft is a small old town,relatively quiet between Rotterdam and Den Haag,but you know all that already.
    Very soon you will eat “raw” herring the Rotterdam way: the tail in hand and the fish into your mouth!
    Again ,good luck in late December. As alway we will follow you,

  44. Mom Says:

    I wish I had shown your afghan to Granny when she was here yesterday as a dignitary for the torch ceremony. She was SO impressed with the scarf you crocheted for me. She said you are better than she is at this art form and THAT is saying a lot! I LOVE your sun pattern. Your afghan is colourful and it has beautiful warm colours- a good thing in an afghan. I know what it’s like to be bored and I hear you. That is why I am so reluctant to retire.

  45. clara hughes Says:

    kerry I love the afghan! it is going to be beautiful…. clara

  46. zoey Says:

    Good luck in the olympics.

  47. zoey Says:

    How are you doing????

  48. kerry08 Says:

    Hi Zoey,

    I am doing well, thanks for asking! I’ve been watching lots of Olympics and it has been really exciting. Are you watching lots?
    Kerry

  49. Mom Says:

    WOW! What a winderful, well-deserved holiday you have had! It’s been a LONG and happy 10 years and this is just the best way to cap it all off!

  56. Blair Says:

    The Webcam is fired up. We are “live” at bigbros place. Lets set a skype date and you can see your niece and nephew. Talk to you soon!
