Wanted to thank you for visiting my new site and especially thank Morgan for doing such a fabulous job putting this all together for me!

   I got to attend my first National Team Training Camp about a month ago and had a really good time getting to know all the team members. The food was really good and we even got to have steak one night! We also had time for a party and got to go and visit Bela at his house. We were at the ranch on Halloween so we got to hand out candy to Bela's granddaughter when she came by trick-or-treating in her princess costume. She was soooo cute! It was really fun and I am excited to see everyone again in a couple of months!

   I also just received a letter from USAG letting me know that they have selected me to compete in the USA-Japan duel meet in January! This was so exciting to get my first assignment. Unfortunately, my coach and I had to turn down the assignment because I am trying to get over a stress fracture in my ischium (pelvic bone - somewhere around the hamstring). So anyways, good luck to the rest of the team, I know you will be getting the GOLD!!! And I will be cheering you on from home!

   I am so excited for Christmas to come! This year I have asked for a computer and I'm pretty sure that I will get it because my mom wants me to start doing all my school work on a computer so we'll need another one. I can finally install all my games on my own computer and chat from my bedroom instead of the basement! My brother wants a drum set, and that's going to drive me crazy, but I think that he can keep it at the high school in the band room - thank goodness - he already bangs on everything in the house even without the drums!

   Oh, congrats to everyone at the Marseille Cup! And also congrats to the Region 5 All Star Team - they just got back from competing in Jamaica!

   I will be going to Cincy in January for a camp and to cheer on my teammate, Taylor, who will be testing to go elite! Good Luck Tay!!! You will do awesome!!!

   Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I will write again in December - hopefully I will be training full speed by then and writing my new journal entry on my own computer!
