Last weekend didn’t go quite as planned but in someways that allowed for it to go even better than I had planned. Last weekend ( the 18th&19th) I competed in a pre-regional competition. The goal was to get through both my long and short program, see how well I could place, watch some of the competition and figure out the exact points of the elements in my program.
Unfortunately, my jumps were all over the place and got me almost no credit bringing my jump total almost down to nothing and my points to practically zylch. It was so frustrating to see my efforts accumlate into dead last for both days.
But it has given me an article idea so I guess that’s pretty neat. I got to competed against several girls who i competed with back in the day when we were all pretty little. we’ve all grown up but these girls are still generally sweet girls who care about each other almost as much as they care about winning.
Besides all the skating sadness that this weekend held this weekend was full of re-conecting. Saturday morning after I skated my mom and o headed to Buff State to pick up the one and only Andy Fisher and take him out to breakfast on this place on Elmwood called Pano’s! What a great morning that was!
Sunday I skated again and this time along with my parents and another family from the rink watching I had two of my dear friends from Church come and watch me. Neither Mark nor Amanda had watched me skate before so they got to see me do what i love! This was the first time I saw Mark since he went to school and the first time I saw Amanda since I can’t even tell you when! It was so wonderful to have them come out and support me! They took me out to lunch with another friend Chris and we just enjoyed a wonderful day out together!
It seems to me that the unexpected is always the best part of life!
