just thought i'd share.
competition was fun. i competed preliminary. skated a good program til the end. i uh, tripped. not sure what happened, but all of a sudden (in perfect time to my music i might add) i was on my butt! i made the most of it and just went "tada" with my arms. placed 6th out of 8th. oh well. could have done better, but i had been sick all week with a sinus infection/bronchitis.



(gotta love the wet butt. fell on a 2loop in warmup lol)







aaand the big finale

Great pics there. The picture #8 .... (or 3rd last one) is definitely a dynamic one.

Awesome pictures!!!!the ones where you are in the air are pretty cool!
your dress is beautiful!

Very pretty, and that color dress looks great on you. Was that first jump a double sal?

pic number 7 is a perfect shoot the duck... great pics!

I like the last best!

Your dress is gorgeous! I love the color. The pics where you are jumping look like you're way way way up off the ice!!
LOL at the last few pictures! Peanutskates is right - the 7th one is a perfect shoot-the-duck Great smile & ta-da arms at the end

I second that...the dress is very very pretty!

Totally agree on the dress. where did you get it from. I love it!

But I like the nice set of action fall photos.

and why can't I get my sit spin to look like yours. It's text book.

You looked great! And seemed like you had a great time!!! I agree with the others, the dress is beautiful!!! Where did you get it?

ahh omg you guys are all so sweet!

vesperholly-yes, the first jump was a double sal

the dress--its a carrie jones. her main site is http://figureskatingdress.com/ but i got it from her ebay store --http://stores.ebay.com/Carrie-Jones-Skating-Dresses

cannot say enough good things about her. i had a terrible experience with sharene, but Carrie was amazing. when you order from her ebay store, she include the fit check system free. this means she sends you two or three sample dresses to try on, that way you know what size to order. if no dress fits perfectly, you tell her what alterations to make when she makes your dress. the dress was reasonably priced, about 130 and came stoned. when i got the dress there was a small tear in the briefs, but she quickly took the dress back to fix it.

and, again, thank you all so much for the nice comments!
