Hey everyone, it’s me again, this time writing from my lovely new desk that we finally set up here in my apartment in Delaware, which is incredibly exciting for me.  What can I say, the past couple of months have been crazy, but I’ve really enjoyed every second of them.  I placed fourth in both of my Grand Prix assignments. Naturally, I am always going to want to be on top, but I know that sometimes it is the smaller accomplishments that make the largest difference.  I am pleased that everyone is beginning to notice a difference in my skating, which is something I have been striving for ever since I decided to switch to Priscilla.  I really lucked out also, because the Skating Club of Wilmington is such a friendly place, and the members are incredibly supportive of all of my endeavors.   Another exciting event happened recently, the addition of a new member to our family! No, no new brothers or sisters (thank goodness), but a new Chesapeake Bay retriever puppy. We call him Murphy, and he believes that he rules the roost, which is pretty cute coming from the little guy.  Needless to say, he is going to be a huge dog, so we should get that attitude out of him pretty fast! My other dog, Millie, seems pretty happy to have a new pal, and they have resorted to sharing the same tiny dog bed because of it. I’ll have to find a picture of it. It’s funny, because now I am beginning to see how new parents feel, and why all they do is brag about their kids!
