Summer is over! I have to say I’m excited because this means fall is right around the corner. Fall is by far my favorite season! I love it. And I can't wait for Halloween!

So, I had a bit of a rough summer. I was off the ice for most of it. I was having really bad ankle problems. I’ve struggling with tendonitis off and on for over a year now. This summer it was definitely at it’s worst. The pain was so bad I couldn’t even have my foot in my boot. After Liberty, we decided to take a few weeks off and see if it would help. So I saw a doctor again and he said it didn’t look good and he recommended a cortisone shot. That was a great idea! Hehe. I got one, and my ankle has been feeling so much better since. I have finally been able to start training again. We been taking it easy with the jumps though, only do a few of each to prevent it from getting sore.

This past week I went to Estonia for a JGP. We had such a good time. The city we were in, Tallinn, was very nice. I have never been before, so it was nice to see what it was like. We had a great team too. Most of us have been friends for a while, so we have a fun time when we all get together. My roommate Chelsi was so sweet and really funny. I skated fairly well. My short was not my best; I made a lot of little mistakes. I was pretty happy with my long though. (I’m going to put some pictures up soon.) In a few weeks I get to go to another JGP. In Sheffield, Great Britain. I’m so excited!!! I have always wanted to go to the UK!

I’m also excited for next weekend. I was invited back to skate in An Evening With Champions. It’s always an awesome show, there are some grat performers
skating this year. On Saturday, before the show, we get to skate with some of the local kids. We have a lot of fun!

Well I think that’s everything for right now. I know it’s been a while since I last wrote an entry, but I promise I will write more often now!

Thank you for being so supportive!
