Christmastime at Knott's



Ahhhhh!! That explains the last two weeks of my life. They were filled with many many ups and a few downs (ankle and wrists rubbed raw and oozing with loveliness, a pulled groin area, stressed out shoulder, bruised knees, stressed out body...and a finale of a sinus infection) awesomeness at it best! I don't think that I would trade it for anything though, here is my reason... PRINCIPLE PAIR GIRL AT KNOTT'S!!!! I have been waiting to hear my name announced there for 12 years, and it finally happened. I am sad that it happened under the conditions it did(the other pair girl broke her tibia and fibula in a non related stairway fall) I was actually supposed to go back and do the track that I did last year after I had Parker, but Karen decided it was best if another girl did it. (She didn't think I could recover fast enough) So, when the pair girl was out, they wanted me to go back to my old spot...but Mike (the pair skater) wanted to skate with me, so he stated that. Lucky for me we had skated together before and the spot was mine! It was a bit rough on my body, not going to lie. I had only been on the ice for the Christmas party I helped at... this was full on pair skating. I was sore, I am still sore. Oh well, like I said... worth it! Thank goodness I got most of my presents bought and wrapped BEFORE I got the frantic phone call to come skate. But, in the two weeks I was there, we had Parker's baby blessing on Christmas Eve at our house, Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Years day. It was pretty crazy and flew by. Thankfully our families helped watch the boys when both Andy and I were working. I really appreciate it!! Here are some pics Andy took the last day of the show...
