Super Angie...Christmas greetings

I LOVE getting Christmas cards and this year we were very blessed to receive so many at our new home. Thank you to all who helped us feel "at home" this holiday season. Your cards meant a lot!

Super Angie...playing in the snow..in a swimsuit!

So, this is what happens when I'm bored, sick, home alone and have a new swim suit and new makeup that I want to play around with. It was around 15degrees outside. Throwing the snow was a blast. Really fun photo shoot...self portrait photo shoot!

Super Angie...random things

The Ear: its healing, but slowly. The bleeding and puss discharging has stopped, thankfully, and I have been able to lower my pain meds. yea! I still can't hear real well out of it, which is just annoying. I hear all sorts of sounds around the house and can't tell where they are coming from. Even when my phone rings, I can't locate it. Its annoying, but at least the bleeding has stopped. And the throbbing and ringing too. I am able to sleep at night.

Being alone: Rick has Tanith in Utah. The boys are with my ex. I'm all alone and it bites. If I were healthy, no prob. I'd be skating on the lake. Snow shoeing. Skiing. Shopping. People watching. But nope...not healthy, so here I sit, watching TV, reading, playing on FB and dreaming.

Skating in 2011: For ISI adult nationals I want to skate: Apologize (Dramatic), James Bond (character), Freestyle (maybe get a new program by then?), and Wonderful (Artistic). I won't bother Vassili with Wonderful until this spring. I'm excited for this program because I simply LOVE the music so much. Nicole cut it for me as my Christmas gift and its so beautiful Its WONDERFUL! I might do a Lite Entertainment as well...something fun like JUST DANCE or Dynamite. Something crazy I could have Caitlyn choreograph this summer. I also want to do a footwork program--possible music choice: walking on broken glass. :)

Hawaii: My mom is taking me to Hawaii at the end of Feb. I'm so excited! Believe it or not, I have never been there! YEA!

Japan and Singapore: We are going to Japan and Singapore at the end of March to pick up the boys and have some fun. Yea! I LOVE Tokyo and can't wait to take the kids there. :)

St. Louis: Feb 11th I compete in St. Louis at the Winter Classic. Can't wait. I love these comps. I love the feeling of competing and pushing myself. My coach once said something to me that really has changed the way I approach competing. I texted him and said, "I'm nervous" and he said, "why? just have fun!" and so I do! I go to have FUN and entertain people. And people know I LOVE it on the ice that even if I mess up, its still a great program. So fun. And so I go to St. Louis to compete and have a blast! Oh yeah...and seeing friends. I love seeing my skating friends. They are incredible! I have made some really awesome friends whom I admire so much. We are all adults and we all go almost daily to the cold rink and bust our butts learning and growing. And we all support each other. Its wonderful!

We are busy but happy. Life is strange and unconventional, but good. I hate having my husband live in another state, but we are working on that too. And I know sometime in 2011, he will be able to move out here. I love Colorado. I love Keystone...its simply gorgeous here. I'm very thankful and blessed.

Super Angie...i've come so far, watch where i will go!

In June 2010, I set the goal and expectation that I would compete in October at ISI adult nationals. My goal going into that comp was to have fun (which I did) and to do "good" with my Gaga program. Good to me meant, making people smile and have fun. I really wanted to win with Gaga. I accomplished this, even with a fall. I won with Gaga! I won with Bach and got 3rd with Forever Young and 2nd with my HORRIBLE interpretative program. But I had fun.

I hadn't set any goals after that at the time. It was simply: go to Nationals and do these things.

Man, how I've changed. I never knew I could be the type of skater I now am...in just such a short time and so few lessons with Vassili. The compliments I have received this fall on my skating style and skills have proved to me that there is more to Super Angie then she thought. I'm becoming the type of skater I only dreamed I could be.

So now, I am taking these things and pushing ahead. I have proved to myself that if I put my mind to something, I can do it! If I put forth the hours of HARD work, I will produce beautiful jumps and spins. It takes hours and hours of time in a cold ice rink. It takes falls, and bruises and being out of breath. It takes sweat and tears and hard hard lessons with Vassili. It also takes believing in what others tell me. In believing in what others see in me that I haven't seen myself. Vassili and a few others have said things to me that really inspired me to be THAT person.

I believe in Super Angie.

Lets go!

Super Angie...Happy 2011

The past 6 months I have learned so much and have grown so much. I'm approaching 2011 with renewed vigor. I never knew I could be so strong. I never knew I could do so much. So instead of setting small goals, I'm shooting for the moon knowing I can do it. I don't have goals for 2011, I have expectations and things I will do...they are on the list, so I will do them. Can't wait to see myself do great things!

BRING IT!
