Adventures of a Gymnast

prom and my b-day!!

2009-06-01T10:01:00.000-07:00

Soo....we had states last weekend, no wait it was the weekend before that, it was Memorial Day weekend. I did ok, I guess. I made it to nationals, well our whole team made it to nationals. Most of us aren't going to nationals, because they are in California, and really expensive. Still the fact that we all made it is awesome.

We got a new pool! It still isn't set up but we have it in our backyard. We need to wait for all of the people to come and set it up. It should be up soon though!

This week is pretty busy for me. So today we got the pool delivered, later I have to figure out what I am gonna do with my hair and make up for prom, and then I am going to gym. Tomorrow I have work, then I am trying on my dress and shoes for prom and seeing my whole outfit put together. Wednesday I am shadowing somebody at the high school so I can see what school is gonna be like (I am probably going to go to high school next year!) then just hanging out. Thursday I have work and then the prom at 7(I think), after the prom I might be sleeping over at Alana's house. Friday if I sleepover with everybody at Alana's house we will hang out for a while, then I have gym and after gym we are taking gym pictures. SATURDAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! I still haven't decided what to do for my birthday. Busy week for me. LOL

I am really excited for prom and my birthday! Prom might be the last home school dance that I go to.

I have been trying to find floor music for next season for gym, and I am not being too successful. I need to find new music very soon. I am also probably moving up to gold next year too. I am going to IGC again this year. Well actually me and my best friend Jenna. We will be in different cabins but we might get in the same group for gym.

Well I should probably go and work on my hair and make up for Thursday!

Love you all*

So Saturday was really fun! At about 10:30 I went over Sierra's house, we just hung out for a little bit, she dressed me up so I was Sierra for the day. LOL I was wearing my pink flower tank, her white skinny jeans, her converse, and her black zip up adidas jacket, it was weird. (Skinny jeans really aren't uncomfortable!(I thought they would be.).) We went to Target so Sierra could get Katie's birthday gift. After we got her gift we tried on bathing suits, and Sierra found a few that she is going to get for the summer! When we went back to Sierra's house we just hung out for a while, listened to music while Sierra made her birthday card, got some food and took a bunch of pictures.

Then we went to Katie's birthday par-tay! The people who wound up going were Katie, Sierra, Jenna, Kacey, Amanda, Nicolette, Megan (her cousin)and I. It was really fun we just kinda hung out for a while, then we went on the trampoline and just messed around. Most of the time we just talked and danced. It was really fun!

Today I did school, later we are probably going to the bank to cash my paycheck, then going to target! Later I also have gym.

Tomorrow is Starbucks and I really want to go! I hope I can, I am think that if my mom is cool with it I could hang out with Courtlyn then we can go to Starbucks together. It will also be kinda nice out, high of about 65!

Well I have some stuff to do. Post more later!

So long!

It has been FOR-EVER since my last post! About Christmas time to be exact. Um lets see what has happened. My grandpa passed away the end of last month. :( He was really sick for about 2 months but before he started getting sick he was going to breakfast every morning, walking in the mall, A LOT, and went to Church every Sunday. So he didn't suffer for that long, which is really good.

This competition season I have only done 2 meets. By the end of the season (not including States) I will have done 4 meets, that is not a lot at all! Last year I did 6 meets (not including States). There is one the 26th and I am excited because it is at a new gym. I want to bring somebody to one of my two meets but I need to see if I can, who to bring and what meet to take them to. (if you would like to go let me know and I will ask if you can come.)

So, I am going to this homeschool prom! I am really excited. A bunch of my friends are going, Courtlyn, Alana, Katie T, Jade, and Ashley (I think somebody else but I don't remember). I also might be bringing one of my friends Sierra (from gym), if she comes that would be really cool, she would also get to meet all the people that I talk about! I might be wearing one of my friend's dresses to the prom, depending on if it fits and everything. I will also be wearing my other friends shoes! LOL

On Monday, I had to go to the mall with my mom so she could pay a bill, so I invited Jenna to go with us, so we went to the mall looked in a whole bunch of stores. We went into DEB and we got matching socks! How cool is that? Then we went back to my house, went downtown and got some lunch at Jim and Mikes, YUMMYY!,then went back to my house and went on the trampoline for a couple of hours, got a couple of good action shots. Then we wound up going to Jenna's house at 5 ish and we slept over, we moved all her furniture in her room, she LOVES it! It is really cool! Then we watched some Dancing with the Stars ate lots of food and talked for the rest of the night. Then on Tuesday, hung out with Jenna at her house, we were practicing my spotting, I CAN NOW SPOT A FRONT TUCK-kind of. LOL Then went home and chilled for a while and went to Courtlyn's for the teen girls night, we made a baked ziti type thing for dinner, just hung out and talked with everybody,(Jade Alana, McKenzie, Allison, Courtlyn, Katie T, Ashley and me).

This weekend I am going to Katie-Bears 13th Birthday Par-tay!!! It is a sleepover. I still have to figure out what to get her, idk what she wants and she won't tell me what she wants LOL. I want to see if Sierra wants to hang out before Katie-Bears party and I will take Sierra to the party.

Well I am starving so I am gonna go eat. I will try to post more often!

*Happy 13th Birthday Katie-Bear!<3*

So, not much has been going on. Well there was Christmas and then my family and I went to the beach the week after Christmas. We went on the beach in the snow, it was really cool. Then new year!

Tomorrow Jenna is sleeping over. She has a half day for Martin Luther King Jr. day, so she is coming over 2-2:30. Then we have gym at 5:15-8:15 so we will just hang out all night. Then on Saturday Jenna and I and possibly Katie and Sierra will hang out. We also might be going to the mall on Friday or Saturday, if we do it we are not sure what day. (We haven't gotten an answer yet on even if we can go.) If we do go to the mall, I want to get our pictures taken in a photo booth! I really like doing that, I do think that it is overpriced though.

On Monday Shelia and I were the only people to go on bars because she had to work her giants and I had to work my flyaways. I haven't had my flyaways for a while and I finally did it with a spot onto an 8 inch mat. I was soooo excited that I finally got my flyaway back! So, on the 24^th we have a meet in a new gym and I will have my flyaway! (A required skill that I didn't have before.) Now all I need is my free hip on bars and my back handspring on beam.

American Idol stared on Tuesday! I am really excited. I think that so far I do not like it as much as other seasons, it is a bit boring. I am not really sure why though. I will still be watching it every time it is on (and I am home).

Well, it is time to have lunch. Call me…if you know my number. Have fun with your long weekend!

So, this weekend we decorated the house for Christmas! Well, first of all my dad and bro came home early so we went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Then we went to Target to look at the picture mugs for my Aunt and Uncle for Christmas (because we are staying at their beach house after Christmas). When we came home we got a call from my grandma saying that she was out looking for a wii for my brother and me (because that is what my bro and I want for Christmas) but every store was sold out. When we were in Target we saw about 6 wiis in the store, so we said that we would pick it up and bring it down for our family Christmas dinner. When we went back home we decorated the house, first my dad and I decorated outside, then we came in and decorated inside. We did the tree, the manger, and some various other things, it looks very pretty. After dinner we went to Hagerdy's, (Hagerdy's is a part of town where people decorate the outside of their houses and people and walk though. We go every year).

So, this weekend I am having my Christmas party! I don't know who can come. I am thinking that not many people will be able to come because it is so close to Christmas but that is fine. I do know for sure that Jenna is coming, so even if it is just Jenna we will still have a great time. Some stuff that I am planning is we are going to do a secret Santa, and I still have to get my gift. (If anybody has any ideas for a gift for under about $15 for about a 13 year old girl let me know.) Instead of just giving the gifts I am thinking of a treasure hunt. I am also planning on going to Hagerdy's and get our picture taken together with Santa. LOL!

Then, the Sunday after Christmas we are going to my grandma's house to celebrate Christmas with my dad's side of the family. I am probably going to see my little cousins, Rory and his little brother Babe. Then, instead of going home we are going to my Aunt and Uncle's beach house. I really like going to the beach in the winter. I think that it is really fun and different.

Well, I should probably go and have lunch, then finish my Christmas shopping, card making and party planning… Lots to do before the weekend!

So, today I am going to gymnastics, after gymnastics I have our team Christmas party. We are having pizza and cookies. What is really cool is that we are going to be up in the upstairs party room. I am happy that we get to have a holiday party where we all can hang out and talk without doing gym. I really hope that after we eat that we can play games downstairs on the floor. There will be a lot of cookies because everybody is bringing 2 dozen cookies each!

So, then on Saturday we are going out to breakfast with my grandpa, then getting our Christmas tree and hopefully decorating it. After we do our tree I will probably be hanging out with Jenna, we will go downtown and get some pizza. Then on Sunday we are going to my Grandma's house for dinner for her birthday.

Next weekend I am having a Christmas party with my bffs from, we are doing a few things to keep the cost down for everybody. Well, first of all we are going to do a Pollyanna; we are also going to have everybody bring a snack or drink. We are planning on going downtown and getting our picture taken with Santa, then later I will give a picture to everybody. We will all give gifts in the morning. I need to send out the invitations. I might just give them to people in gym.

Well, I have to go, I am going to eat lunch then make chocolate chip cookies! (And you know, eat some.)

Saturday

2008-12-09T08:21:00.001-08:00

So, this weekend I had my first meet of the season! I was really excited on Friday because I had an amazing day at practice. Vault I was the example to the whole team, floor I had really powerful tumbling and my routine was really good. On bars I found out that I was competing on bars but doing last year's routine, I did 4 routines and was sent to beam. Beam I was not going to compete my handspring, it was just not working. I did 7 routines and got 1 timed my timing was good and my routines were awesome.

So, the meet report time was at 4, so the meet was supposed to start at 5. We warmed up 3 out of 4 events before the judges got there(they were late). Then we competed. So, my scores were, Beam: 8.85 Floor: 8.6 Vault: 9.25 Bars: 8.1 and my All Around: 34.8, I also got a trophy for my AA. Overall, I think that my scores should have been higher, but I was happy with what I did.

After the meet it was snowing and people had said that the roads were getting bad so we didn't go out to eat with Jenna and Katie. We were driving home and the snow was letting up and my mom, dad, and I were all really hungry so we stopped in Peter's Diner. It was really good; I had some chicken noodle soup, stole some French onion soup from my mom and had a tropical waffle, which was a Belgian waffle with fresh blueberries, strawberries, and bananas topped with whipped cream (I also had some of my mom's fries).

When we left the diner it started snowing hard again. We wound up getting home at 11! I was so tired; we slept until 9 on Sunday.

So, this weekend we are probably going to get our Christmas tree, we are going to get a big one this year and put it downstairs. I am really excited to decorate our Christmas tree the way I like it- not with too many decorations.

So, I am thinking of having a Christmas party with some of the people from the team, we are probably going to do a Pollyanna. I am really excited. I am going to have to start planning for it.

Well, I have some errands to do and then I have gym tonight…. (We have Terri today!!)

Meet and Merry Christmas!

2008-12-08T07:20:00.001-08:00

Heyy, so, today I am doing Christmas tree decorating at my Grandmas house! I am going over there when my dad gets home from work. He gets about 2 which means getting there at about 3, then tonight I am sleeping over. Since her house is an hour away from my house it is a long boring drive.

So, this weekend I am driving again to my grandma's house for my first meet of the season. I am kind of excited for the meet but I am really nervous about beam and my back handspring, I used to have it and it was close to high beam by myself but then it got worse and worse and now I am on the low-ish beam with a heavy spot and I am falling all over the place.

Last night I had gymnastics, vault was pretty good, my handspring is getting better. Floor was really good, my tumbling got so much better and my routine was really good. Then we went to beam and I had problems. I was doing my full turns and I couldn't land one, my back walkovers were not connected and really wobbly but I know when I get in front of the judge they will be fine. My back handsprings were horrible, I was getting a really big spot and I kept falling from bending my arms, one time I straddled the beam, it hurt really bad! So I am worried about that for the meet, I think I am going to have to do something else. I am scratching from bars because I really don't have anything but I am fine with that. So other than beam, I am ready for the meet this weekend!

Well, I should probably go and finish school and then get ready for my grandma's house.

So, today I am hanging out with Morgan, we are going to meet at Wawa and just chill at her house, then when I come home I am going to a play with my mom. Tomorrow morning I am going to my last day of co-op. After co-op I am meeting Jenna at the mall, we are getting our picture taken with Santa together, then we are having lunch and going to go shopping. Then just hanging out the rest of the day till gymnastics, then after gym I am sleeping over Jenna's and we are just hanging out on Saturday. Then on Sunday I am working all day.

Lately I have been really tired. I need more sleep.

Has anybody been to Bath and Body Works lately? They redesigned the bottles and they are really cute. Before, they had pictures of the stuff on the front, but now it is more wintery and abstract and the cap is silver. I got a coupon off the net for a free 2 oz lotion with any purchase, so I printed one for me and one for Jenna.

OMG, on Tuesday at gymnastics I did three amazing things by myself. I did back handspring back tuck, front aerial, and a standing back tuck, no spot!

Last night I hung out with Jenna because she has no school today. I went over there around 5 and came home about 9. We had dinner and then we were making up a dance. It is not that bad. We had a watermelon roll which was supposed to be for her birthday party but we forgot about it. A watermelon roll is watermelon sherbet, lemon sherbet, and lime sherbet, with chocolate chips for the seeds. It looks like a slice of watermelon, it was really yummy. Then I painted her fingers neon purple and then I did my fingers neon shiny blue and she did her toes orange and pink.

Well, got to get back to school and then hanging out with Morgan.

So, this weekend should be really fun. On Friday I have co-op, then right after that I am going to Jenna's house. We are going to the mall and we are getting our picture taken with Santa. Then we are just shopping around. Jenna has a gift certificate for Aeropostale and I have a bunch of coupons and a bunch of money to go shopping with. Then Jenna and I are going to gymnastics, and then I am sleeping over her house. So, I never do anything Christmas related before Thanksgiving but I am making a HUGE exception for Jenna!

OMG guess what! I henna-ed my hair on Saturday. Henna is a natural product that is used for henna tattoos and for dyeing your hair. It turns your skin like a brownish reddish color and it turns your hair a reddish color depending how long you leave it in for and what color hair you have naturally. Now instead of my hair being a brownish color it is reddish! I am really excited and I really want to show all of my friends.

###########################################################################################################################################

I got the pictures back from the Masquerade Ball the other week. They are really pretty pictures. It is of me just standing there in front of a background that is like ballroom stairs. I am wearing my dress and my red shoes, my hair is straightened and I am wearing a really pretty headband and a matching necklace.

############################################################################################################################################

So, at gymnastics the other week I did a front handspring, front pike, front tuck, and I was landing them. Also last week I was doing front handspring step out, front handspring, front tuck but I was putting my hands on mats. I also did my flyaway by myself on the pit bar!

I have gymnastics again tonight and I am excited to go to bars for once!

Well, I have to do the rest of my work. Later!

Parties and friends

2008-11-12T07:00:00.000-08:00

So, this weekend I went to two parties, and I didn’t work at them! I went to my best friend Jenna’s 11th birthday party. It was after gymnastics, she invited Katie, Sierra, Bridgette, me, and of, course herself. Sierra had to leave Jenna’s house by 6:45 am because she was going to her high schools gymnastics team meet (but she wasn’t competing), Bridgette had to leave at 10:30 am because she had to go to her sister’s last soccer game for the season. So it was me and Katie who were supposed stay until it ended, at noon, but we wound up staying until 1 pm and just hanging out. So Jenna, Sierra, and Bridgette fell asleep at about 2:30 am, and Katie and I thought, “well, we have to get up at 6ish anyway so let’s just stay up all night”, so we pulled an all-nighter. It was really, really fun we got up every 10-15 minutes to do handstands and to bounce on the bouncy ball to wake up.

Then when I got home I got ready for Cecilia’s birthday party. I got home at about 2, and I wrapped Cecilia’s birthday gift for her party, made her card, took a 30 minute nap then got dressed and rushed out of the house and went to Cecilia’s party. It was kind of like a treasure hunt. It was really fun; her previous parties have been awesome too.
*************************************************************************************
So, my dad went shopping last night and he got Propel and Cheez-its so I have enough Propel and Cheez-its for gymnastics for 10 practices! (the Propel is kiwi-strawberry.)
*************************************************************************************
I am hoping to go to Jazz-It-Up this week (maybe today) I have wanted to check out their leos and GK shorts for a while. It really helps that I have a job, because now I have money, so if I want to buy something I can.
This weekend I might be henna-ing my hair! I am really excited. This weekend I also might be working (but I won’t find out until like Friday) and possibly hanging out with someone from gymnastics (if you want to hangout, let me know)
Well, I have to go and finish the rest of my school.

That is what is new with me--what about you?

2008-11-04T08:21:00.000-08:00

So, Halloween was this past weekend and it was really fun. Jenna and Katie came over between 4:00 and 4:45. We hung out a little bit then we asked if my dad could pick up the pizza. While he was picking up the pizza, Jenna, Katie, and I went trick-or-treating around the block. We had dinner and then went trick-or-treating in the dark (a lot more fun). We went to the haunted house in my neighborhood, it was pretty scary but it was really, really fun and worth it. So,we just trick-or-treated all around for about an hour and a half. When we got back to my house we were all dead tired, we all put on our fuzzy pants (mine being the first time I was wearing them) and hung out, traded candy, ate some candy and cheez-its and watched some TV (and of course talked). The next day they were both getting picked up at about noon. So we had blueberry muffins for breakfast, and watched tv for a while and then we went on the trampoline for a long time. Then we ate left over pizza and watched the Olympic Trials in slow-mo (it was really funny) and then went back on the trampoline until they had to leave. It was really fun and I hope we can do it next year!

So, the same day I was working 2 parties at gym. I had forgotten to wash my staff shirt from the last party I did, so about an hour before I was leaving for work I remembered about my shirt and I put it in the wash and into the dryer. Then when I had to leave I took it out and it was soaking wet, so I had wear a normal shirt. The parties were good, tiring, and worth it for the money.

So, this week Katie is going to be off school all week for teacher in service day and all of that stuff. So she said, that means 8 days off and 7 sleepovers (hehe). So we are planning to do a sleepover or at least to hang out.

This weekend is going to be really busy because I might be hanging out with Katie on Thursday or Friday, then I am going to Jenna's birthday party after gymnastics (it is a sleepover party) hanging out at her house until about 12 ish, then I am going to Cecilia's birthday party from 4-8. I still have to get presents for Jenna and Cecilia, but it helps that I know basically what I am getting for both of them.

Well, that's what's new with my life- what about you?

Stuff

2008-10-23T08:08:00.000-07:00

So I went to the Masquerade Ball on Thursday, It was amazing!!! I had a blast. I went with Courtlyn, she picked me up. We got there at 7 ish and it was already kind of crowded. When we got there we met up with Katie T and Alana, we took pictures and talked and then Stephanie and some of her friends came. We went in and we hung out and started to eat dinner (my opinion the food wasn’t too good –but I am picky-). Then dance coaches came in and taught us how to do ballroom dancing. It was really really fun, my fave was the rumba. My partner was Katie. For the rest of the night we just danced. After the dance Katie, Alana, Courtlyn, and I went back to Courtlyn’s house and slept over. (Unfortunately Alana had to leave cuz she had a bad migraine.) On Friday we just hung out at Courtlyn’s and I left at 2 ish.

On Friday I went to gymnastics and then slept over Jenna’s house because the next day I was going to my team’s first meet. (I wasn’t competing.) Everybody did really well they got pretty good scores, and almost everybody already made it to states! After the meet Jenna, her mom, Katie, her mom, and I went to the Olive Garden. It was a really fun day. As soon as I got home I ate my leftovers, watched TV, and went to bed.

So this weekend I am working a party at my gym. I am working right in the middle of the day so I can’t hang out before or after. (I leave at 1 and get back at 5 ish) The good this is I really love doing birthday parties. I also might be helping with the “Flip-or-treat” sleepover on the same day. (tonight I still need to ask the guy who is in charge of it )

I am very excited because for Halloween, 2 of my besties are coming over to my house and we are going trick or treating in my town. We might be going to a haunted house (but we haven’t decided that yet). Then they are sleeping over my house and we are hanging out Saturday until I am working (or if I am not working-till whenever). I am being a devil this year. I have a red dress, black leggings, horns and a matching tail that are supppper cute. At Claries’ I got the horns and tail, but I also got fake nails that are black and they have a silver spider web and a rhinestone.

Well, I will post more later.

Stuff, its Late

2008-10-09T08:25:00.000-07:00

So whenever I read a friends blog I think why do you never post and then I think about my blog and I realize that I haven't posted since May. So here I am posting now in October.

Lots of stuff has happened here. So Katie, one of my besties has moved to Washington state. I really miss her! (but she is having fun in WA and that’s the way it should be-having fun where you and who your with). All of my gymnastics friends have gone back to school so that means that I see them a lot less. Especially Jenna because she goes to Catholic School and gets home at about 4.

So for me and school I am still homeschooled. I go to a co-op on Fridays. I still do lots of gymnastics 9 hours a week, and i still love it to death.

On Thursday the 16th, I am going to a "Homeschool Masquerade Ball" I am really excited because it should be really fun and it is the first dance I have ever been to (except the dance at camp but that doesn't count). Today I am going over to Courtlyn's house to look at dresses for the dance. (She and her mom go to yard sales and buy pretty prom dresses for girls to use, because dresses are so expensive and you only use them once).

For Halloween I am going to be a devil it is a bought dress from a few years ago, devil horns, a tail, and other fun stuff. So far it is really cute. For Halloween I am trick or treating with Jenna possibly Katie and Bridgette (all from gymnastics).

Well, I have to go out to lunch with my Mom, Brother, and Grandpa for lunch then off to Courtlyn's for dress looking!!! Wish me luck.

Post more later..

Ebay is amazing! Part of my week

2008-05-16T08:02:00.000-07:00

So about a week ago I ordered a NWT GK leotard off of eBay. I just got it today and it is suuuper cuute!!!
((I can get the pix on here but I will get help form my bro lata)))

Isn't it so cute? I got it for $6.75! Normally about $50.00. I am so happy I was jumping around the house when I found out that it came today. Tonight I have gymnastics and I will be wearing my new Leo!

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

So, on Tuesday I hung out with Apple. We went downtown for some pizza and saw Anna and her younger sister Cassie-Rose. So we started hanging out with them. We went to the park by my house and hung out there for a bit. Then we went back to my house and Katie (Anna's older sister and one of my Best Friends) called and wanted to hang out so we started hanging out with her. Katie, Anna and Cassie-Rose left at about 8:30. Then Apple and I just hung out in my room and talked for about 30-45 min. Then at about like 9 ish she had to leave so I drove her home (well my mom drove, Apple and I just sat in the back of the car).

Then Wednesday, I went to the library with my mom and I got 2 books, one of The Clique Novels, "Dial L for Loser" (a really good book), and I also got "Say Yes". Then when we got back my mom had to go shopping with my brother so I hung out with Emma. We hung out for about two hours then we met up with Katie and Anna. Then we hung out till about 6 ish. Then everybody had to go home for dinner. On my way home there was this lost dog. It was really cute. It was a yellow lab (I think) and I am guessing that it was about 2 years old. It was very friendly it was sniffing me and licking me. It was pathetic. When I got home I called the shelter to tell them about the dog.
Then Emma called me and said that she was done with dinner and was wondering if I wanted to hangout for a bit longer. So we went back downtown and hung out and I got a really, really good bread stick at one of the pizza places downtown for $.65.

Yesterday I went shopping. (That went well. JK ) So we go to Target and out of the whole girls section I found 2 things that fit or that I liked. So today I am going to Kohl's. If that doesn't work I am going to the Mall.

Tomorrow I am going to Teen Night with Emma. It is at Apple's house from 6 to 11. I also am going to see if Emma can hang out before. I can't wait to hang out with Emma then go to Teen Night! Hopefully I will find something really cute to wear for tomorrow night.

OMG Camp!

2008-05-07T08:20:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! So this summer I am going to camp for a week. How cool is that? But it isn't any old camp, it is a gymnastics camp. Called International Gymnastics Camp, or ICG. It is way up in the Poconos. It is a couple hour drive from my house.

I will be doing at least 6 hours of gymnastics a day!!! This is going to be heaven. When I am not doing gymnastics I will be doing other physically tiring activities like swimming, kayaking, rock climbing, dancing, walking on a five story crooked balance beam, going on a zip line...over a lake, and a bunch of other really cool stuff. There are going to be a lot of girls from different teams from my gym. I will be staying in a cabin, with bathrooms. (I was told that last year you had to walk like a mile to the bathroom.)

I am going to be really tired because I will have to wake up at about 7 A.M. and I am going to bed at about 11 P.M. and doing all of the gymnastics and other stuff in between!

There are five gym, and I will be working in all of them. The beam gym, the bar gym, the floor and vault gym, the Olympic gym, and the dance gym.

I have never been to camp before, but I can't wait to go!
On the website there are a bunch of pix, and this gyms look AMAZING!!!!

While camp is going on, pictures are being taken, and there are some pix of people upside down!
I hope I get into the pictures. What is really cool with the pictures is that after camp you can buy the pictures. So I can get pictures of me (upside down) and the other kids in camp.

I can't wait until I go to camp! It should be really fun but really hard.

66 days until I leave for camp!

So, on Friday I will be going all day nonstop. First I am going to a co-op with my friend Emma from 9:30 to 12:30, but I am getting picked-up at about 8:30. It is a co-op in a town near my house. Basically I will be her shadow for the day. I will be taking a gym/health class, a poetry class, and a writing class with her. I am really looking forward to gym/health class. After that we might hang out for a bit but I am not sure.

Later on Friday, Jenna and her mom are picking me up and dropping off Jenna's stuff for a sleepover, they are coming at about 5:15. Then Miss Elaine (Jenna's mom) is taking me and Jenna to gymnastics. **starts singing** We have Terri on Friday! We have Terri on Friday **stops singing** Then we are sleeping over my house then hanging out on Saturday. I can't wait till Saturday.

Two of my best friends, Victoria and Julia, are coming up from FL in the summer. So, we will be having a LOT of sleepover and parties (and not to much sleep). They used to live in NJ about 10 minutes away from me but then their dad's job got more business in FL so they had to move. They still come and visit in the Summer and in the Winter, and when they come up we see each other a lot!! I can't wait to know when they are coming up so we can start planning the sleepovers. Hehe!!

So, while I am posting (I am on the laptop laying on the couch) the dog comes up to me and puts her bone on me and starts chewing. What do I look like, a bone rest?!?! I don't think so!

Well, lunch is ready so I have to go.

More Later!

2008-04-08T08:10:00.000-07:00

So, this month we are getting a new gym. I am sooo happy. It is gonna be really really big. There are three sections, the preschool part, the classes part, and the team part. There is also the warm up part (in the team section, it is upstairs), there is a viewing room, a party room and a snack room!!! So many rooms.

Team people (would include me) were supposed to move into the new gym in December of '07 but as you can tell we have not moved yet. We are still waiting. Nobody on my team has been very happy about this.

So, my team was supposed to have about 6 more meets, but two got canceled and one got rescheduled. We can not make it to the rescheduled meet because our coach, Renee, is a judge and she is judging that weekend. So now we have 2 meets till states!!! ***screams and freaks out*** We are all really bummed because for almost all of us this is our first year competing. Most of us are not going to Nationals because it is so expensive (Nationals are in FL).

So, my grandma passed away on March 27th. She was my mom's mom. It was very unexpected. She had a form of dementia call P.S.P. which stands for progressive supranuclear palsy. It was very rare and did not have a treatment yet.

One of my best friends, Katie who lives about three blocks away from me is going to WA for the summer. She used to live in Olympia, WA but her house burned down November 18 of '06. She will be going to WA with her 3 brothers 2 sisters and her mom. Sh will stay with her friends for some nights and in a hotel the other nights. I am very sad. I will really miss her.
I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN KATIE!!!

The other day I got sick. I couldn't eat anything. All I had yesterday was toast for breakfast, toast for lunch, toast for a snack, and a baked potato for dinner (because it was my Grandpa's b-day and we had ham and baked potatoes, and I don't like ham). Great food for the day! LOL

Here are a few polyvores from some of my friends, and me::

I will have more later!!

So what I have been doing.

Thursday I hung out With Emma. We talked, went on the trampoline, I showed her Polyvore, and we walked about THREE MILES!! Just hung out till she left.

Friday I hung out with Katie and we went to Red Tent Temple, went on Polyvore and she made a set for me. Took a lot of pictures with her new camera. It was soooo fun!

Saturday I hung out with Jenna. We went downtown and saw "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (we got a bunch of candy---and it was really good) than we went to the pizza place and ate....uh....pizza. After that we went back to my house and just did some gymnastics in my basement.

Sunday I had a meet in Mays Landing! We all did pretty well, the judges that we got were really annoying because the people who were really bad and had flexed feet and stuff got scores that were low-mid 9s but our team who had amazing split leaps and pointy toes got scores of low-mid 8s but other than that everyone did really good. Here are my scores, Bars---8.55 Floor---8.85 Beam---8.65 Vault---7.5 and my all around was 33.65. Not too bad!

Yesterday I hung out with Morgan from 1 till about 4:30, and after that I had Gymnastics at 5:30 for three hours (till 8:30). Practice was pretty good, I am close to getting a free-hip on bars.

Earlier in my post I was talking about Polyvore, it is a website that you can make different fashion collages. It is really really cool!!! Here is one of my sets.

If it does not work don't blame me, I will try it again later!

Well, I will post more later!

New Moon, Books, Life, My Bro's track meet

2008-01-30T10:46:00.000-08:00

Hey
So tonight I am doing New Moon, I am gonna be picking up Katie and Anna, but that is at 7 so I have about 2 hours to wait. As of now it is about 5:00. My poor brother (18) was supposed to have a track meet today but as of like 30 min from when they were supposed to meet it was canceled, and we do not know why. SO he is really bummer right now. Bummed and playing "Guitar Hero", sad. As of me for the past few days I have borrowed a book, it is called "Maximum Ride" as of right now I am in part 2 and at chapter 23, but this will soon change. So far this is one of my favorite books. It is soooo good and it is just like Max is real, and I am NOT exaggerating. For who that want to read it the name again is "Maximum Ride" and it is written by James Patterson, it will probably be in the young adult section, unless you are in my library and it is in the kids section.

Well I have to go, dinner then picking up Katie, and Anna for New Moon!

Hugs and Kisses

I am soooo happy! On Saturday I have a competition an hour away! My friend Katie is coming. It will be really fun. This will be my second meet and I am really psyched. It will be a long drive, but it will be fun. Our team just got the new competition leos, and they are really pretty. They are like a silvery-white on the top and then it is all wavy and then it is a really dark aqua blue, and it has all of these rhinestones. The leo is long sleeved. I can not wait until Saturday!!!
Competition here I come.

Shout out to Katie, thanks for coming, Love you!

my first post on my first blog DaNi

2007-09-19T15:45:00.001-07:00

Hey everybody!!! I'm Dani and I am a gymnastics freak.
That is where I got my "Adventures of a Gymnast" name.
I got this blog because with a blog I can express my feelings and just to talk , not to anybody specific but just to talk just to people.
(I would have pix but my camera is broken so when i get a new camera I will put on pix.)
I am a small town home schooled girl. My town can be pretty boring at times but it is still my home town, I have never moved in my life. Yet still I love my town.
I live in my small red house with my Mom my Dad and my Brother but I can't forget my dog Moira. She is a shelter dog so we don't know what kind of dog she is but we think that she has a lot of lab in her but she is brindle. She is a really pretty dog!
I hope you come back on my blog!

Well I will keep you posted! (Hopefully everyday but no promises)
