sports mother waiting
But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!
crafts hobbies painting
My hobbies are painting, crafts, and I like golfing.
falling-in-love fall falling-down
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
fun halloween character
One of the things I like best about the Halloween show is that I change outfits about six times in the show. It is a lot of fun to play the different characters.
olympics whirlwind has-beens
My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.
pet too-much funny-travel
I do not have any pets. We travel too much.
sports exercise practice
There is no age, height, or weight requirement to skate. It is good exercise no matter what your age is. If you want to be competitive, most start young. But, I practice with many adult competitors.
sports brother jumping
I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!
moving home ice
I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson.
fun martini skates
It was always fun to skate with Paul Wylie and Paul Martini.
thinking ice careers
I think it's a lot harder for the pros to have a long career in ice dance and in pairs. It seems the singles have a little bit of a longer career.
skating different sides
I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.
boston years nine

years six skating
I started skating when I was six years old.
