MARCH 3, 2008

Hello Friends! 

I hope February was a good month for everyone.  It’s almost time for spring, which means it’s time for Mark’s and my birthdays!  I’m going to San Diego for my birthday, finally visiting my brother, Will!  I’ve been dying to visit him, so I’m extremely excited!  My family will meet for a week in San Diego before we go to Colorado Springs where Mark and I will train for a week and a half.  Mark will spend a week with his family in Scotland while I’m in San Diego, so he will have a nice birthday celebration with his family as well.  Mark and I are looking forward to training in Colorado Springs from March 24-April 2.  We will save our birthday celebration together for when we get back to England. 

I’ve been conducting drama workshops for a special needs group as part of my community arts project for my degree.  It’s been an interesting and rewarding experience.  It’s nice that I’m able to conduct the workshops on Mondays between my morning and afternoon skating sessions.  Even though I’m always busy, I’m lucky that it’s been possible to coordinate my school and skating schedules. 

Spring seems like an appropriate season in relation to our skating.  Mark and I are breaking in new skates and blades, choosing new music, and learning new programs. 

It’s always exciting to set new goals and look forward to what the next skating season brings!
