so ... my last few posts have been kind of solemn. i lost two grandparents in five months. and even though they were old and lived wonderful, blessed lives, it's still sad. i was lucky to have them in my life. yes, i do still have a life, and i'll prove it . . .

i abandoned my blog for a few months because i didn't think i had anything worth while to blog about and i didn't want to waste anybody's time. but i remembered i don't care if i'm wasting your time because chances are if you're reading my blog, you have plenty of it.

1. Adult Sectionals - March 17th Adult Sccchhhhectionals was held right here in provo utah! i got second out of nine, which qualified me for adult nationals [they only take the first four places].

  

       

  

my biggest fans as well as my sponsors.

in the bottom left picture is ali my 'stand in coach'. unfortunately my coach rory couldn't be there because of a bunch of drama that i'd rather not get into. but i worked with her that morning at a different rink and my parents got to watch me practice so that was cool for them to see.    

 *if you notice i'm not wearing a medal in the majority of these pictures it's because . . . i lost it. oops! but that doesn't change the fact that i got second place. BAM! suckers!

 2. Adult Nationals - April 14th this is me in chicago at nationals, where i got last. ... dead. last. i skated terrible, like really bad. i don't regret going though because i got to see my seester. [yes i'm aware i spelled that wrong] and rory was there and we had fun. well besides the losing part ... that wasn't fun, that sucked. remember last year, when i beat everyone. e v e r y o n e. click here to see and this year they mopped the floor with me. [no literally ... they used me as a mop to clean the floor, it was awkward.]

 if ya ain't first yer last! (and if ya ain't last you did better than me.) 

ok but seriously, i loved the dress i wore. 

3. Finals week this was my schedule 

April 12th - 16th Nationals in Chicago

April 16th  - 19th Finals week

April 19th - 28th out of town for a million weddings (or maybe just two)

i had three days in between nationals and leaving for rachel doty's wedding to study, take finals, and pack.  i did terrible on my finals ... it was just a week of poor performances. BLAH

4. Rachel Doty's Wedding - Seattle Washington

wedding #1

i was rachel's trainer on our missions in Germany. we became instant friends and have been besties ever since. :) i was a bridesmaid in her wedding! the weather was beautiful and the day couldn't have been better ... good thing that losing streak/bombing finals luck didn't cross over to her wedding.

it was simply perfect.

i stayed in washington for a week. half the week i hung out with angela in seattle and the other half i hung out in gig harbor with my old/future roommate lara. it was so fun hanging out with them and so nice to be out of provo. the whole week i did what i do best ... eat. angela and i went to a lot of yummy places. we literally ate ice cream everyday and lara made lots of delicious homemade meals at her home. [can't wait until we're roommates again. #fat.]

it's true, washington is beautiful.

5. Jacquelyn's Wedding - Oakland California

wedding # 2

Friday April 27, I was off to wedding number 2. this time for Jacquelyn Garces one of my dear dear skating friends here in provo. the day was amazing, and she looked stunning. i was so happy to be a part of her wedding!

between competing and finals and weddings it's been a long couple of weeks. and to top it off i'll be going to a funeral this weekend. but at least for now i get to relax for a few days before i take off again.  i'm physically exhausted and mentally drained which is precisely why i was up all night blogging? but it doesn't matter cuz i don't got no school tomorrow! or ever until august!!!

peace out girl scouts,

Keri Ann
