good times in AK!

"Life is not about finding yourself, its about creating yourself!"

1 more month till Summer!!!

just some recent pictures :) enjoy!

We did it...we WON Conference!

We are Conference Champions! It was the most exciting meet ever! We won with a 192.85!!! We beat second place by more than one point!! Our coaches were extremely proud!! It was one of the best weekends of my life! Not only did we win, but I got to see my Daddy. He surprised me at the hotel with flowers...I had no idea he was coming :)

Thanks for all your prayers over the weekend!!

Love,
Me!

Moose!!!

So..there was a moose right outside my dorm room at the beginning of this week. It was so cute!

A look @ the past!!

So tonight is the big night!! Hopefully tonight we will be conference champions! Everyone's prayers and positive thoughts are greatly appreciated! After this meet, I will be considered a SENIOR! WOW, has time flied by! After nearly 15 years of gymnastics, moving away from my family, waking up for 6 am practices, doing it again at 4 pm that day, waking up the next morning to do it all over again, getting a scholarship, and here I am now going into my Senior year! It has been the time of my life...and I think everyone knows that gymnastics is my passion and I will continue to involve it in my life because there has never been anything that brings out the best in me! I have a love for gymnastics that I dont think can ever be explained. Im looking forward to this meet as well as the year to follow because I believe our team, as well as myself can only get better from here! Something that might put a smile on your face is something that one of the team's read to all of us last night @ the banquet.. im going to try and remember all of them.
YOU KNOW YOUR A GYMNAST WHEN...
1). You use chalk more than soap!
2). You find yourself in your leotard @ 11 o clock at night.
3). When you find your self saying, "Yes I can do a back flip, and no Im not going to the Olympics!!
4). When you find that you have 14 new family members, who happened to be from all over the world.
5). People say, "wow, you look different dressed up."
6). You have tickets to the gun show....O wait your are the gun show, and your not afraid to show em' off.
7). You sit in a straddle while watching TV.
8). Your body cracks loud enough to stop class but you don't hear it.
9). Practice makes perfect, and it isnt just a saying!
10). Every where you go, you must take a picture doing a handstand.
11). You have blisters on your hands for life!
12). Two thirds of your wardrobe is leotards.

So thats just a few, Im sure all gymnast could think of a lot more!
Thank you everyone for all your love and support over the years!
love, love, love!

Conference Weekend!

This weekend I am in Colorado Springs! So close to home...but yet so far. Closer than Alaska though, lol. It sure is warmer here though :) I wore shorts to dinner tonight..got to take advantage of the warm(er) weather. We had a long night/day of traveling the past 24 hrs. Tommorrow we have offical practice with the other three teams @ 2:30. Then we have a conference banquet @ 6. We get to wear pretty dresses. I will be sure to post pictures after it. We compete Friday night @ 7 and will hopefully come away with a conference win!! Ill be sure to let everyone know how we do :) Wish us luck and say your prayers! Go Seawolves :)

Meet my other half :)

For those of you who didn't know, I have a wonderful boyfriend named Jesse! Hopefully most of you will meet him over the summer and fall in love with him just as I have! He has a passion for a sport just as I do. He used to play college basketball, and now is an assistant coach at Tacoma Community College. He loves the sport! We have a lot of fun together, and he is a very sweet guy and so good to me! :)
