Hey Everybody!
Well, I just got back from my World Cup competition in France. It was such an awesome experience! The meet was so different than any
other meet I have been in. We did two events then they had a break in between the meet. It was really weird but kind of cool.
Although it wasn't my best meet I still feel like I accomplished a lot of things and gained a lot of experience.
The venue there was packed with people which was very exciting and they cheer so much.
I would have to say it was one of the coolest meets that I have ever been in!
Well, I am back training for Pacific Alliance camp. It is quite soon and I am very excited for it!
I hope that everything is going great for you.
February 27, 2006
Hey Everybody!
Well I am here at camp. It went very well. I pretty much hit all of my routines,
but I still need to work on some little things. We just found out who the
American Cup Team was, unfortunately I was not selected to attend this meet.
But I was selected to go to Germany for the Cottbus World Cup event. I was
extremely excited to go to Germany, especially since I have never been there
before. I better start working on my German, haha. Shayla and Jana are also
attending this meet with me, so it will be a great competition. We leave in
about three weeks and I can't wait.
Well, I just wanted to update you guys and tell you
everything that is going on. Hope that everyone is doing well.

Hey Everybody!
Well, where to start...first of all Happy New Year. I know it's late, but I didn't get a chance to tell you guys. After the New Year, we had another camp. It was
just a normal camp, but I was there during the USA vs. Japan vs. New Zealand meet. I stayed for the meet because the next day I was leaving for my recruiting trip to BAMA! My trip to Bama went awesome. I stayed with Courtney Priess, Cassie Martin, and Brit Magee. The team is sooo nice. On Friday I had a nice lunch with the team and then we went shopping a little and toured the campus. Then that night I went and watched them compete against Florida. That was an amazing meet. Bama won. Then Court, Cassie, Spike, Ashley, and I went out to Chilis at like midnight. W e had like four
minutes to order. We felt so bad, but it was really good, haha! Then the next morning I had a tour of the whole campus and the residences, etc. It went really well. Then we went over Sarah's house for a nice lunch. We were supposed to have a dinner but due to training and stuff I had to leave early. That is when I told them that I wanted to go to BAMA!!!!! I was so excited and I got so many pictures. I loved it there!!! It felt like home. But after all that excitement it was back to some hard training to get ready for the American Cup. It is going great so far and I can't wait to go to camp to qualify. I hope that everyone is doing good and have a great Valentine's Day!

Hey Everybody!
Well, Christmas is over. Man I had a great Christmas this year, and so did my lil sis. She got what she really wanted, an iPod Mini. She almost started to cry when she got it she was that excited. Christmas was a very relaxing day, although my sister woke me up at 2 in the morning to show me how many presents she had gotten from Santa. After that she couldn't
sleep!
We ended up opening presents at 7:00, so it was good. We spent a lot of time with our family too, which was really fun. I get a little but of time off from the gym this holiday, which is nice because I get to spend time at my home in Fort Lauderdale. I am having a blast catching up with my friends.
I can't believe that it is almost 2006, only a couple days away. I hope that everyone had a great holiday and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!!
December 18, 2005
Hey Everybody!
Well, it is almost Christmas!!!! YAH! I am so excited, especially for my sister. She can't wait until Christmas. We saw Santa at the mall yesterday and she told him like her whole list of what she wants. It was so cute.
I just came back from camp this past Thursday and it went great. It was mainly a camp to see how everyone was doing with the new code. It was very productive. There were so many new faces at the camp, I felt so old, lol! I guess they probably feel the same way I felt when I was little. It was nice getting to know them all. They seemed so shy though.
I am finally done with school for now so I get my two week vacation, which is a relief. Midterms seemed to go quite well, so that is a good thing. Well, I hope everyone has a good holiday. I will write after Christmas!!!
November 19, 2005
Hey Everybody!
Well, my season is over for the year of 2005. I just recently went to the World Selection Camp. Unfortunately I did not get picked for the World Team, but I had a great camp. I don't think I could've done any better than I did. It was just such a great experience!!!!
I am home now and getting ready for the holidays. I am so excited for Christmas and Thanksgiving hasn't even come
yet, haha! Anyways, gym is going great, starting to work some new skills and stuff. Well, I hope that everyone has a GREAT THANKSGIVING!!!! I will write back soon.
 October 24, 2005
Hey Everybody!
Sorry that I have not been able to write in a while. As you know we just got back from France, and that was a great trip. It was a really cool competition. On Friday, there was a little exhibition, actually there was a huge crowd,
haha! That was a cool experience because I had never done anything like that before. Then the next two days were the actual competitions. They were very long and very different. There were different exhibitions
in between each event. That was the main difference! All in all, the whole meet went great for the whole USA Team. We didn't really get to see much of France, but we did experience a lot of crowds on the streets because of the soccer game between Paris and Marseille. That was something!!! We got back and now I am training for the World Selection Camp.
Today, however, we experienced Hurricane Wilma. Orlando didn't get the brunt of the storm, but my house down south in Plantation got a lot of bad weather. Luckily the only damage we had was that our fence got blown away and we have no power. So I was happy to hear that this was the only damage we had. My family was very nervous. But, the hurricane past and the weather is actually beautiful now. Although it is getting really cold, well at least for us
Floridians, haha! I hope everything is well for all of you. And please keep everyone who experienced all the hurricanes in the past months in your prayers. A lot of people are without power and lots of lives are in danger. Best Wishes!

Hey Everybody!
Man, it seems like forever since I have written! Some of my entries did not go through properly
so that is why they are not up on my website! Anyway, everything is going great. I am getting ready
for Championships of the USA. Classics went well! I had one big mistake, but I ended up 5th all-around.
It was great competing as a Senior now! It was weird though because I am so used to competing early in the day
but it was nice resting before the meet, haha! My birthday is coming up and I am going to be 16! I got a
new car for my birthday, a Nissan Sentra and it is so cool! I love it, although I have to wait to drive it
a bit because I get my license on the 26th of August. I can't wait! Ok, well I will write after
Championships!
August 26, 2004
Hey Everybody!
Well today was a great day. I got my drivers permit so now in
a year I can get my license. I am so excited to start driving.
It seems like so much fun. Well, other than that I have been
going back between school and gym, which has been pretty busy.
Our school is moving into a new site so we don't even have our
books yet. We have been using photocopies, which has been a bit
of a pain. LoL! Gym has been going great, learning some new skills
and soon getting ready for camp and Pan American Games. Also,
we got hit by Hurricane Charley. It was really scary. The rain
wasn't even touching the ground, it was going horizontally which
was kind of cool. LoL! Well, I hope everyone is doing great.
August 1, 2004
Hey Everybody!
Summer is almost over, well for me it is. I start school on August
9th. It seems way to early to be starting school. LoL! I am extremely
excited because it is my birthday tomorrow. I am going to be 15.
YAH, time to get my driving permit. Gym is going great and I am
excited for the Junior Pan American Camp coming up in October.
I am also anxious for the Olympics. GO USA! Well, I hope that
everyone's summer went well.
July 18, 2004
Hey Everybody!
I just got back from my international trip to Mexico yesterday.
I had such a blast. The meet went really well, other than
beam where I fell. I am a bit upset about that.
I knew that I could've done better. But, anyways I finished
3rd all around, 2nd on vault, 1st on bars, 5th on beam, and 4th
on floor. So I am happy where I finished up. After
the meet we drove into San Diego where we went to the San Diego
Zoo. We all had such a great time. Now I am back home
and get to work on new skills until the next camp in about 2 months.
I hope that everything is great for all of you.
June 10, 2004
Hey Everybody!
I just got back from Nashville, where I competed in the USa Championships.
I did great. I ended up finishing 5th all around, 2nd on
vault, 4th on beam and floor, and 8th on bars. It was such
a blast. My four year making the National Team. Actually
in about 4 weeks I am going to go to Mexico to compete.
I am very excited for that. Summer is also going really
great. I hope that everyone has a great summer. Best
wishes for everybody!!!
April 24, 2004
Hey Everybody!
Sorry I haven't written in a while. Anyways, a lot has happened.
I just came back from Hawaii where the USA did really well.
I didn't compete because I was an alternate, but it was such a
great experience. The team got along really well.
On Sunday, the whole team had a day off. We went to the
beach and went shopping. I tried to surf, but it isn't as
easy as it looks. It is quite HARD!!! LoL! We
also learned to hula and we made lei's. It was fun.
School and gym are going quite well since I have been back.
I am so excited for Classics in New York. I am working really
hard so that I do well. Well, I'll write when I have more
updates. Best of Luck!
January 1, 2004
Hey Everybody!
I hope that everyone is doing well. I can't believe it is
already 2004. I had a great New Year! I spent the
New Year with some friends from the gym. We had a BLAST!
Christmas was also very good this year. On Christmas
Eve my family, my grandma, and I went to a restaurant and then
we opened some presents from her. Then on Christmas morning,
we opened our gifts bright and early, especially because I have
a 4 year old sister. And then that afternoon, we went to
my other grandmas house where we had dinner and hung out with
our family. All in all I think this year has had its good
and bad, but I think this year has been very good. I wish
everyone the best! In a few days I will be leaving to compete
against Japan in Texas. 2004 will be a busy year, but I
think it will bring great things.
October 11, 2003
Hey Everybody!
I am really sorry that I haven't been able to write you guys.
A lot has been happening in my life. I made the National
team for the third time, which I was really excited about. I
went on a family vacation after Championships. It was great.
I stayed at my aunt's house which was really big. She
has about 30 acres of land. After staying with her we went to
Cedar Point which is an AWESOME theme park. One of the new
roller coasters wasn't open, but I went on one that was about
310 ft high and it went 93 mph. It was so fun. When
I came home from my vacation I had gotten braces, my little sister
got her tonsils out, and I had surgery on my skull. I was
having some headaches and I went to see a doctor and they had
found a lesion on my skull. They thought the best thing
to do was to take it out. I found out that it wasn't anything
bad. Since I had some down time after my surgery I re-evaluated
my goals for gymnastics and decided that it was necessary to make
a change. We decided to move to Orlando Metro. I have
been in orlando for six weeks now and I love it! My coaches
and teammates are great and my gymnastics is doing awesome! I
have been working some new skills and combinations. I am
really happy that I made a move. My school is going really
good. I am now in 9th grade. YAH!! High school
is a bit different but it is going good. Well I hope that
everything is going good for you all.
February 17, 2003
Hey Everybody!
I am sooooooo sorry that I wasn't able to write in a long long
time. Everything is going well. I am getting ready
to compete against Japan in Texas. It is really cool so
far. I am very healthy and I hope all of you are, too.
I hope everyone's holidays were good. Also Happy Late Valentine's
Day! How is school going for everyone? I hope good.
I am nervous because I just took an entrance exam for a high school
here in Florida. Also I competed at the Sand Dollar and the American
Twister Invite where I did well. Otherwise everything else
is good. Well, I gotta go!
October 19, 2002
Hey Everybody!
How is everybody doing? I am doing great! I am getting ready to
go to camp this weekend. I am excited to go. I've gotten some
new skills!! I especially love the double arabian that I got on
floor. I was really excited about that :)
School is going really good for me so far. I have been visiting
some high schools to see which one I am going to but I'm not quite
sure about where I am going yet. Gym is going great and I hope
everything is going great with all of you. I have to go now, best
of luck with everything!

The Marlins game was really cool. My 3 year old sister
enjoyed it a lot.

Hi everybody!
Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been very busy with
all of my competitions and everything. I know that Sara has posted
updates about the meets I have been to, but I would like to tell
you more about them. My meet in Canada was great! I had such an
awesome time there and with everyone who went with me. We got
along together as a team great! During the meet I fell on
bars and floor, but I still placed 2nd. Sarah Curtis also from
the US won the meet. We became such good friends. Unfortunately,
I didn't get to go to Niagara Falls because I had to leave early
to go train for Classics, but I still had lots of fun.
The next week I went to Classics. I had an awesome meet there.
I placed 3rd in the all-around, 2nd on vault, 7th on bars, 9th
on beam, and 6th on floor. There was a team competition the next
day and I did even better during that! I was just really
happy that I made all 8 of my routines during the competitions!
Also, when I was in Indianapolis I got to see my uncle and cousins,
which was so fun. We went to dinner and everything. I just found
out that I was rewarded a trip to Puerto Rico with my teammate
Katie Kivisto and Brittney Koncak! We have to go to camp May 15-19th
to show them that we are ready to compete. I am having such a
good time at the gym. I got some new connections on beam, which
are really cool! Well I have to go now, I'll write soon!
March 5, 2002
Hi everybody!
I just came back from the Elite Podium Meet! I did ok. I got 3rd

am starting to get better though.
To update you on after the camp, I found out that I am going to
the Spring Cup in Canada, March 14-18, with Elizabeth Tricase,
Sarah Curtis, and Ashley Miles. I am very excited, especially
to be going there with such great people! Well I have to
go now. I'll write back soon to update you!
