I'm going to start posting again!!!!!!

Well Well Well, it has been a long time since I have posted, however I noticed that despite the lack of new information a lot of people are still checking out the site. I figure it is only fair to start posting again, besides I enjoy being able to document things and keep all those that care up to date. Lets see where do I begin? I guess by telling you yes I am still here in Indiana having a blast and living in my aunt and uncle's house in Michigan city. The weather is getting cold and the leaves are beginning to change (yay for real seasons) as it becomes more and more clear I am not in California anymore... As far as what is new well a lot I guess, I am still working at Polo Ralph Lauren part time however a recent injury has kept me off my feet for the last two weeks. I am not sure whether I broke my ankle or have a severe sprain but it sure hurts like heck! It is finally to the point where I can walk around and I have already visited the golf course a few times for some much missed putting and short game practice as I am not able to make a weight shift and swing full yet.

The other and most exciting thing I have been doing is training to and now coaching a level 4 competitive gymnastics team at my cousin Gillian's gym "Platinum Gymnastics" here in town. I am now USA Gymnastics safety certified and a professional member of USA Gymnastics (as a coach) It is the most fun I have ever had and I'm getting a paycheck every other week to do it (it's impossible to call it a job)! The team consists of 16 girls ages 8 - 11 that I will travel with all over the Midwest to compete against teams from across the country! They are the most adorable bunch you could ever imagine with nicknames ranging from Ziggy to little bear, and Spark plug to shrimp it is such a great group of girls. After preparing and coaching them for a few months now we had our first Mock Meet (a practice meet at our gym to prepare for competitions that begin next month) this past weekend set up just as a real one would be with all parents present and cheering there daughters on. Wow what a great day it was for my level 4's! I had 4 of my girls score over 9.0 on bar's and many great performances throughout the day, it was so exciting to see their progress and success in our first taste of competition. The parents I am sure have plenty of pictures of the group and I will surely post some so you can see them for yourselves, also for those of you who are interested the gym has a website that you can get details about what we do and what is happening, and view soon to be posted pictures of the girls in action! The address is www.platinumgymnastics.com

Again thank you so much for your continued interest in what I am doing in my life and please don't hesitate to post, email, or call me! I'll be posting again soon
