Hey Everyone,

How are you all doing? I'm doing really well. I'm out of my cast and back on the ice working hard for next season. Since my last entry, I've performed at a show in Lexington, Massachusettes, gone to my best friend Kelly's prom, and started my quads again.

I went to prom a few weekends ago. My best friend's date had to have emergency surgery, so I flew out to Naperville, IL to go with her. It was so awesome to see Kelly and her family again. I flew out on Thursday evening and we had dinner and all that, then on Friday I skated at her rink (the name escapes me) and then got ready to go to the prom. We got all dressed up and did the pictures (which will be sent soon) and the whole nine yards and were off to the prom. It was awesome. I had so much fun dancing and eating and people watching. I got to meet a bunch of Kelly's friends and they're all really awesome people (Hi Megs, Jared and M Lo). Tha following day we all went to Six Flags, and I concquered my fear of roller coasters. I had an awesome time just being a normal kid for a few days. Sadly, I flew home on Sunday morning, but it was great fun to see Kelly again!

The show I did was in Lexington, Massachusettes at the home of the National Champion Syncro Team, The Haydenettes. I had just gotten my new show programs days before my departure, so I was a little nervous about them. I skated to "Porcelain" and "South Side" by Moby for one program, and "This I Promise You" by *NSYNC for the other. I forgot at least one of my numbers in each show, but I was able to fake it and they turned out looking okay! The people at Hayden were so friendly as they always are, and it was so much fun to be back in front of an audience again.

Training so far is a little rough. I'm a little out of shape, but I'm working on it! My quad toe is coming back quite easily, but quad sal is a bit weird. Things will pan out with them, I'm sure. I've pretty much decided on music, but I don't have the actual names with me right now, so I'll post them later. My short though will be a slow melodic kind of tango into a faster one, and my long will most likely be music from Chinese movies. The music is so cool, I think you all will enjoy it! Anyway, I'm starting to babble! Thanks for visiting my site, and I'll have a new Journal Entry soon, which will be more exciting than this one, I promise!

Love you
