Hey Guys,

So it's been about 3 years since my father passed away, and it's been hard but things are getting better. I appreciate all the comments guys on my dad guys. This wjole experience has made me mature in ways i thought i never could.

But the latest on me is I'm a soon to be 8th grader at Madison Jr. High School. I'm a level 8 Gymnast and sooo excited for competition season. My dad inspired me to pursue my dreams so that's what I'm doing. I hope to make 2016 Olympics=) I've decided to not do Cheerleading and just focus on my dream of Gymnastics. In November i will be 14, and less than a full year after that I'll be driving=)

Losing my dad took a lot of determination to get myself back up again and keep going. I can only wish that my dad could see how far I've come in Gymnastics and life in person. People always told me he was watching over me and he would still always be there for me in a different way, but stuff likethat is what got me throught all the hard days.

So i hope all is well for everyone and all goes well =) Live well love much and laugh often.

With love,
