This morning Courtney, Jeff, Boyken, Steph, Shelby and we (Jessica and Heather) braved the extreme cold to go try to be on tv at the Today show. Even though it was 6 degrees which may seem warm to those of you in the midwest it was the coldest it has been here in 2 years! Boyken had read online that we had to be there between 6 and 6:30 in order to get a spot and have a chance at getting on tv so we all decided to leave our "hotel" at 6 am. We followed our fearless leader Boyken who redeemed himself today by successfully getting us to the show site and getting us all back in time for the meeting. We arrived at the set at about 6:30 and found only two people there, one of which being a man who has attended the show every single day for twenty years! Needless to say we got a great spot right up against the fence in the middle. We were all dressed in multiple layers sporting our white hats and scarves for the Munich 2018 Olympic bid that we were given in Munich. We stood around for a good hour before anything really happened. Then the weather lady (Al was gone : ( ) came out to film a portion of the show outside. Luckily she filmed right in front of us so we all got to be on tv. We considered leaving after this point as we were slowly losing feeling in our feet and hands but we were told that Matt and Anne were coming out at 8 so we all decided to stick it out. After what seemed like forever in the freezing cold Matt and Anne came out and talked to all of us and shook our hands. They then filmed a portion outside as well and were once again right in front of us. So if you happenedd to see a bunch of people with brightly colored coats in white hats and scarves...it was us. After Matt and Anne went inside we were all more then ready to sprint to the nearest coffee shop and attempt to warm up and regain feeling in our extremities. Despite the cold it was a great morning and we were on TV!
