Nervous

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day! I had a good evening yesterday. Matt and I were both tired and lazy, so we ended up just watching a movie after I came home from skating. Here is a picture of what I got from Matt. This perfume smells amazing! He bought this while he was in Louisiana and was deciding between Ralph Lauren and Roxy. Even though I'm a huge Roxy fan, I was glad he didn't buy it, since I got Roxy perfume for Christmas from my parents.

This weekend is a really big competition for me and I'm stinkin' nervous already!!! I'm competing in the triathlon event... I have to do a creative skills program, an interpretive program and my long program. We get marked on each performance and then they add up the marks to get your final placement. The skater who gets 1st, goes on to the StarSkate Nationals in Ontario in April! This is my goal. I was 2nd two years ago, so this year I'm determined. They are also using the new judging system for this event, which could be interesting. We've had to change parts of my long program and add things and take things out this last week and it's stressing me out. I'm actually looking forward to looking at my report card on Sunday after my long program to see what I got deductions on. It will be a huge learning experience for myself, as well as my coach. The competition is in Beausejour, so after Canskate today, we're heading to Selkirk, where we'll be staying for the weekend. I have a practice session tomorrow morning at 8 and then skate twice later on in the day and practice Sunday morning at 7:45 and skate once around 2. If you think of me this weekend, please pray that I will go into the competition with confidence and that I will do the best that I can do.

Hope you all have a great weekend!
