Hi Everyone!

I can't believe this quarter is almost over! We are coming up on finals and final assignments right now, so things are about to get a little crazy with school. Gymnastics on the other hand is going very well. We have been working very hard in the gym and it is sure paying off. We have been training lots of routines and everyone looks really good. It's been a lot of fun for me getting back to real gymnastics after my knee injury and it's so nice to have everyone back in the gym. We had a nice little break for Thanksgiving (mine involved pizza in the dorm, which was kind of fun), but everyone is refreshed from the break and raring to go. We just found out today that we are going to Cancun for sure, so everyone is very excited about that. I think that will give us that extra little bit, when it comes to pushing through the hard days. I'm super excited about it and about the fundraiser we are having for the competition. We are having a little coaching clinic, where the team will be coaching kids. I'm so excited about that too.

As always the team is working so well together. Everyone is FEEding ( ahaha) off the positive energy that is in the gym. With all the craziness of school right now, the gym is such a good place to go to be with friends and get away from homework for a couple hours. The gym feels like home now, it is providing a sense of family here where we are all so far away from own families. I can't wait to get the season going. I'm positive it's going to be great. Thanks for checking in!

YAY CARD!
