Hey!

Hope you are all doing great. I thought it was about time for an update. First off all I would like to congratulate Shawn on winning DWTS!!!!! She did a great job & what a wonderful thing for the sport of gymnastics! 

Can’t believe it has already been 9 months since the Olympics. Time certainly goes by so fast. I have been so busy lately doing so many great things. Modeling, photo shoots, charity events, and OF COURSE training! I am so excited to tell you guys that I FINALLY got a new floor routine Keeping it a secret for now, but I really hope you will like it! It’s time for me to start a new journey and second part to my career, so I needed a fresh start. 

I got to coach in my first gymnastics clinic over the weekend at SIGS Gymnastics in New Albany, IN. I had a great time and it was so much fun sharing my knowledge that my dad has shared with me over the years! While I was there I also had a lunch with some very special kids from the “Make-A-Wish Foundation”. 

I went to LA last week and had a few meetings and also got to spend a little time with some good friends. I have some really exciting things coming up, but I will fill you in a little later ;) 

June 6th I am going to be the honorary chair for the Susan G Koman Race for the Cure in North Texas. Please register for this great cause if you live in the area! http://www.komennorthtexas.org/race.html

New floor routine + new leotards + summer heat = COMPETITION SEASON!!!!! This year will definitely not be easy, especially with all my travels, but I am truly excited to get back where I belong… on the competition floor! VISA Championships in DALLAS & Worlds in LONDON (same arena that the gymnastics will be in during 2012 Olympics!) BRING IT ON!!!
