Skating

So, the last time I skated was December 11, 2008.  I REALLY missed skating this summer when I was pregnant!!  I didn't set foot on the ice the WHOLE time I was pregnant.  That was hard.  My goal was to at least go practice and skate around before the year marked my last day on the ice.  Turns out I got offered a few jobs before that mark.  So, I skated pairs on real ice and plastic ice BEFORE Dec 11, 2009!!!  YAY!!  I am so happy to have had the opportunity to do the events I did.  It made me happy and worthy.  I was however a bit weak... I didn't/don't have the muscles that I used to.  I guess 11 months off does that to you.  But, I didn't have to do anything hard, so all's good!!

This was opening number at Knott's.  I had such a great time skating at Knott's!  I started my professional career at Knott's in 1999, so to be there ten years later was the icing on my cake!!!

The shopping number... I got to skate with Snoopy!

Elves!!! I thought this number would be the hardest for me to remember, but turns out it wasn't.  I think it was because I had so much fun doing it!

This was at the Kia Christmas Party in Irvine.  The surface was plastic, so it was a little bit of a challenge... but I did not eat it, so I was happy and consider it a success!

This was at Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles.  We were taping for Univision at 6am!  My mom and I left the mtn at 330am, skated at Pershing Square (first time back on the ice since I came back from Europe in 2008), then skated in Culver City to practice, the went to Knott's for my Aunt's b-day, and then home.... it was a looooong day! But fun none the less!
