If someone would have told me three years ago that I would be coaching a competitive gymnastics team, I definitely would have laughed...a lot. I guess I've been looking back at when I first started coaching and realized how much I have really learned. I didn't know the basic critiques, but now I am quite picky. Anyways, I'm VERY grateful that I have this opportunity. Coaching a competitive team is far different than recreational classes. I thought it would be a drag, but I want the weekend to be over so I can coach them again :) They are ahead of the game which looks promising for competition season this fall. As of right now their team name is "Comets" but we're thinking we'll give them a chance to change it since there are only 3 girls out of 12 that originally came up with it 2 years ago. Their name has to be something from outer space. If anyone thinks of anything, please feel free to contribute ideas haha I'm not very creative. They liked Starlites and rockets so far.

On another very positive note, my dad has finally...finally decided to attend AA meetings. He openly discusses the fact that he has a problem, not a MAJOR problem, but enough of a problem to where he needs help quitting. I'm glad he can lean on us, it's been a long road, but we're here to help him! He's 20 days sober now :)

That's all for now, but I hope everyone is taking it easy and getting ready for summer! It's almost here :)

they should be called "the crab nebula."

are a lot of them ethnic? they could be "black hole."

on a serious note, what about "supernova?"

re: eugene took about 1.5, 2 hours. i had to sew him by hand, and i didn't have any pins, so it takes awhile.

Hm.... the Pulsars? The Quasars? The Gamma Ray Bursts? The Galaxies? The Solar Sails? The Super Clusters? The Neon Fusion? I always wanted to have a night club called "Neon Fusion", ever since I learned about it in astronomy. I like the Rockets, though, that seems gymnasticsy.

It's cool about your dad! It's always nice when the people you love take steps to get better. I hope everything works out!
