Hey everyone~

Well, lots to talk about!! First of all, I want to say congratulations to Carly, Hollie, and Team USA!! YAY!!!!! World Champions!! lol. Well, I am so proud of Carly and her 2nd place All-Around finish, and Hollie the new World Champion on bars! When they got back from California the whole gym had made posters for them, and they were all over the place, The first day they were back TV cameras were there the whole day. Carly and Hollie had to go live on like 6 or 7 newscasts and talk shows in one day! It was really exciting. Then the next night we had a big party at the gym for them. It was really fun, and the mayors even came! Hollie's mom even brought Hollie's handwritten number *419* from the competition! So we are all really proud of them. Ok secondly, I just had to get nine teeth pulled out! I look so funny! They were all baby teeth and they had to pull them out so that my permanent teeth can come in and I can get my braces soon. So hopefully my teeth will grow in fast, and I won't look like an old grandma with no teeth! Ü Then, about the gym...I'm learning a lot of new skills for next year to up my start values.(Since I have to go Senior next year, LOL) On bars right now I'm doing stalder 360 Tkachev, and I might try to put a Gienger after my Tkachev. I'm also, learning stalder blind healy, and I might try to learn a Khorkina! So those are mainly my new skills right now! Sorry I haven't written in a long time but I'll try to write again soon!
