We are going to miss the DeGulio Family!! Elizabeth has been a great friend and I'm sad to see her leave. I'm excited for their new adventure and wish them the best!

Win Win Gymnastics-First Meet!


Today was my first meet coaching gymnasts from Win Win Gymnastics! It was great to be out there again and I had a great time! The level 5's took 2nd place team. Our level 4's will be ready to compete next season. I really enjoy working with Chan (the owner), she is so organized, treats me as an equal professional, and we have similiar coaching styles. I'm excited to grow with this program!!

I start coaching at Arundal High School March 2nd. We had our first team meeting on Friday, there were about 10 girls and 12 boys. Everyone seemed excited about the upcoming season, I'm ready to get started!

Happy Valentines Day!!



I love Valentines almost as much as Christmas! There are so many great people in my life, especially my family. I know a lot of people think it's a commercial holiday but I think it's great to celebrate love!!! This weekend was filled with lot's of love and family fun! Sorry no pictures of this weekend, I need batteries for my camera! (I actually learned that I need rechargeable batteries, if I want the batteries to last longer in my camera!!) I'm getting a new camera soon anyway, yea!!!!!!!! I thought I'd include some pictures of my beautiful girls and the love of my life!

I'm Coaching again!!


So everyone who knows me was probably thinking "How long will she last..." I've been in Maryland for 8 months and I'm ready to get back into it!!
I just got a job coaching competitive gymnastics at Win Win Gymnastics! I'm so excited!!! The gym has been open for about 5 months and the owner has an extensive background. The owner was a coach in China and had several girls who made the National team. She has received various coaching awards in China and Texas. She as been coaching in the U.S. for 7 years. I know I can learn a lot from her!
It feels like when I started at Bay City Gymnastics in Florida -6 years ago. I started at Bay City when the gym first opened. So I feel I can bring a lot to this gym since I know how it is to start from the beginning and grow into a large succesful program. I will be coaching pre-team, and USAG Level 4,5 & 6 competition teams. I start today, wish me luck!!
I also just found out today, that I will be coaching the Arundel High school gymnastics team.
Yes, I will be coaching club and high school gymnastics! Luckily the high school season is only 4 months. I will coach at the high school from 2:15-4:45, they have 5 meets, States and Regional's.
Your probably thinking, can she handle all of this! I know I can do it! I'll be with my girls during the day, coach high school in the afternoon (And I'm allowed to bring my girls with me, when I'm coaching at the school) and coaching club in the evenings 3 times a week and a few hours on Saturday.
LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!!

New Curtains

Wow, who new curtain shopping would be so difficult. First, I wanted to make my own curtains, let's just say way too overwhelming! Then there's selecting the right color, style and length- too many choices! Anyway, here is the first completed room. I thought I'd start with the kitchen and this weekend, I'm moving on to the living room. I think I will be going with brown curtains for the living room. What do you think???
