I Passed!!

Yes, that's right.  On October 31st,  I took my first skating test and passed with flying colors.  Now I have to start practicing for the next one, as well as get a program together for graduation.

Ice Ridge/Burton Powley Shout Out

This past weekend my family went on a short trip to MN for a college visit.  On the way there, we stopped at the Ice Ridge in Des Moines, IA and were able to get my blades repositioned and sharpened.  The Ice Ridge is owned by Burton Powley, 10 time US National Champion and 4 time International Champion.  He is the only EDEA dealer in the area, plus he gets discounts because EDEA sponsors him.  I didn't get the chance to skate in MN, but I am excited to skate tomorrow afternoon.

My spins!

I saw a video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be cool to post one of my own.
I also got my scratch spin perfectly centered and am doing it centered more often than not. :)

Finally!!

I finally got my skates today!! The first pair I ordered was too small so I had to send them back for a replacement. Anyway, I am so excited to be able to get out on the ice on Monday.
