Happy New Year everyone! 

I’m sorry It’s been so long since the last time I wrote. Life has been a little crazy with so much going on. School is much harder this year than it was last year and almost all of my free time out of the gym is spent doing homework and studying. I did find a few days during Thanksgiving to go camping and motorcycle riding with my family. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to go back. I’ve also been taking drivers Ed to get my permit and I can’t wait to finally drive. 

I got a new floor routine by Natasha Matveeva in the summer and I really like it, but then for one of my Christmas presents I was allowed to work with a musician and an orchestra on a song idea that I had and after a month of creating the song from start to finish with him I have a new piece of music that I absolutely love and it is like nothing I have ever done before. I am working on a new routine this month! 

Gym has been going better now that I am over the little rough spot that I was having and I am working hard to improve my consistency and also upgrading a few new skills. With the help of my friends Paula and Sam, I have a fun video of some of the things I have been working on since the summer. I left a few things out though, because there has to be some surprises. I learned a really cool middle pass on floor of front handspring front layout 1 ½ to back handspring double full to punch front full but it was decided that it would receive deductions so I am working on changing it. 

I am sorry again for the lack of updates on my part and I hope the video makes up for it ;)

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement.

Aloha,
Tessa
